The hotel is in a great location
. The weekend was marred by the water supply being broken and affected the facilities over two days . The staff did their best to apologise but no compensation was offered .
Obviously a very busy place for both lodging & food, The staff went over & above to make sure we were fed, okay It had taken a little longer than expected but the wait is worth it. The Hotel was impeccably clean & the room was comfortable and well laid out, the cleaners there do probably the best job I have seen to date (well done!) I would definitely stay again so my advise to anyone reading is don't hesitate it's a great place!
The hotel is in such a stunning area and the views are spectacular. The hotel room was very clean and had everything needed for a basic stay. It does need some modernisation (no USB sockets) and the pillows were very hard. I cannot fault the staff and especially Diane at breakfast who was so attentive and polite even though she was continuously in the go. The breakfast selection was excellent. We also had dinner one evening and the pie of the day was delicious. We found the experience very good and would stay again
The hotel was generally untidy and tired looking. The first room we were allocated had an unmade bed and obviously hadn’t been serviced. Breakfast was ordered and arrived 15 minutes later with cold undercooked bacon and cold overdone eggs, I didn’t eat any of it. Overall very disappointing.
The location is absolutely breathtaking nestled in the heart of the Lake District, easy access to stunning walks. Staff were very efficient and friendly. Food was particularly good, impressive. Room was a bit chilly and shower not great, but you can’t have everything for such a competitive price. Bed was very comfortable.
Disappointing to be honest, the bathroom was very dirty and the room was basic and out dated. The mattress was extremely hard. The breakfast was average, no juice left and the eggs over cooked.
A lovely place to stay no doubt. We had a comfortable 3 nights stay. The staff were lovely. The location was amazing.
The rooms were a bit small. We did have a cotbed but it could still be a bit bigger for the kind of hotel it is. The mattress were a bit on the harder side for our liking but it depends on what you are used to.
The hotel was a bit too hot for the weather. We had to keep our window open slighly and turn off the room heating completely but it was still a bit hot as the lobby was very hot.
But overall it was a memorable stay and i would go back again mainly just for the service and location.
What a cozy, unique, and magical place it is. Clean, comfortable, stunning views, quiet, easy to find. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back!
