Food was exceptional, staff attentive and friendly, great wine list and local ales and the room and the bath was perfect after a long day of walking!

The D Duck is in an ideal location. Just far enough up a hill to keep the crowds away.

The room was clean and well decorated and furnished. Most of the staff were very amenable, and any requests such as an extra pillow or bottle of water were delivered almost immediately. The views of the distant fells (mountains) from the outside seating area in front of the property are magnificent.
THE FOOD! We are by no means "more is better" philistines, but were not expecting "sustainably sourced" Nouvelle Cuisine. A beautifully arranged little collection in the middle of a large plate. The write-up mentioned European and Traditional food, but the only "traditional" dish available was the side order of (very good) chips. Alas the 8.30 start breakfast is in the same vein - no bacon or croissants here, various bean concoctions with a fried egg. Sourdough toast the nearest thing to our breakfasts. On holiday we like a coffee after getting up, but no facilities are in the rooms. The advertised "free tea and coffee" in the rooms requires a call to reception to have it delivered - so you have to be dressed.
