Enjoyable stay would definitely return.

Staff very friendly. Accommodation nice and clean. Great value for money.

Shower head adjustment not working very well.

8.0 / 10.0

Completely satisfied with my short stay

The breakfast was well presented. Lots of choice and you were made to feel welcome. Give it a try because everyone's experience will be different and if you find fault let them know. It will be appreciated.

Its easy to be hyper critical of the hotel. It is a typical Lakeland hotel that is trying to grow the business. There is nothing that I found that is a show stopper. The main thing I did not like was that I was not there long enough.

8.0 / 10.0

Traditional hotel. Lovely location.

Bar man/waiter Gabriel brings life and warmth to the place. Good value for money for the Lakes.

Decor and facilities could do with updating, but then it would be less cosy and much more expensive.

Good value for money. Lovely location. Friendly staff.

Freshly cooked breakfast was excellent. A lovely bright bedroom. Friendly staff

As we had booked on a b&b rate and not db&b rate we had to dine in the bar area which was fine for lunch but we would have liked to dine in the restaurant. We did dine in restaurant for breakfast which was lovely. We will stay again.

7.0 / 10.0

Good and bad

The breakfast was superb and the young lady on reception and serving breakfast was exceptional, she sorted an alternative room for us very efficiently.

In the first room we had the toilet cistern wouldn't fill with water so we moved rooms. In the 2nd room the room heater wouldn't work although the bathroom heater did and the Amazon Firestick TV wouldn't load.

My special requests were provided, all the staff were very helpful and pleasant. Our evening meal was excellent

I didn't use the shower but my friend tried to but couldn't work out how to use it and there were no instructions.

Enjoyable break and would return!

I really liked the location - there are some lovely walks in the area. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Maybe the heating could have been turned on prior to our stay - it was very cold when we first got to our room.

Whilst the decor was a little dated, the room was warm, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast tasty.

Traditional style of hotel in a lovely setting which served good quality food and drink

The location and the food

That there was no TV in our room ( room 2) not anywhere in the hotel. Breakfast took a long time to be served on the 1st morning . Shower was poor and hard to operate. Room was a double but think it was only a single room size. The toilet was very difficult to flush

6.0 / 10.0

A shame about the changes.

Location is gorgeous and perfect for exploring the lakes.

We are regulars at the hotel. The menu in the bar has changed and grown, we were sad to see that they no longer do the dog chicken or sausage. This has been replaced with a dry kibble bowl with a few treats. Out dog was unimpressed! The service wasn’t as good as usual and a little slow, the chap behind the bar was quite loud and sounded stressed. At breakfast we had no knives or forks and only one cup. It took ages for our food to come. We asked what had changed since our last visit and we were told that there is a new General Manager. I am not sure all of their changes are for the good, before the bar menu was smaller but very nice and the breakfast table was nicely set with jams and napkins, we had none of this this time, it’s a shame because we may think twice about coming back. It seems they are sacrificing the nicer touches.

Friendly staff but stay fell a bit short of expectations.

Friendly staff and good location. I booked this last minute so I could extend my stay in Lakes and it was convenient place to stop over.

The TV wasn’t working when I arrived, this was resolved by friendly reception staff. Unfortunately the shower in my room wasn’t working but I only discovered early morning when no staff around so I was unable to shower. Breakfasts were not up and running at 8am, again staff were doing their best. The shortcomings of my stay were acknowledged and a partial refund given so all resolved for me in the end.
