Great ~ but……..
Beautiful hotel. Great staff. At 7pm we were told the restaurant was fully booked throughout the night, and a booking was required ~ totally understand that BUT throughout the evening there were more empty tables than ones that were taken. I’m not sure why we weren’t granted a table but I guess, it’s their loss.

Nice night away
This was a fairly late booking and on the whole we had a great stay. The weather was kind and we were able to take a lovely 4 mile walk into Ambleside. The room was very comfortable in all respects. All of the staff that we interacted with were pleasant.

We had a very pleasant stay here. It’s a lovely building and comfortable place to relax and unwind and the afternoon tea we had was exceptional. We had an issue with lights in the bedroom constantly flickering that we reported to reception but it was only temporarily fixed as it reoccurred again later in our stay. Drinks from the bar were pricey. And make sure you ring the bell at the bar if you need service because waiting staff are constantly absent doing other things; maybe they were just shorthanded when we were there but that’s how it seemed. Cleaning staff were great.

The driveway up to the hotel lets it down badly, there's loads potholes and some scattered litter at the entrance. Lovely well kept gardens and in a very quiet peaceful picturesque setting.
