Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has some notable positives like brilliant service and excellent location with lovely views from the rooms. However, there are a few areas that need improvement such as the tired rooms and the need for some upkeep in certain parts.
The hotel is situated in a stunning part of The Lake District, offering a perfect location to explore The Lakes away from large crowds. The rooms are good overall, but the soundproofing could be better. The service is excellent, with a particular shoutout to the bar staff. The dining experience was fantastic, although temperature issues were noted. The hotel facilities are great, providing a lovely stay overall at a fair price.
The hotel is situated within the hills of the beautiful Lake District, offering a lovely modern interior and comfortable beds. The staff were welcoming and helpful, but the overflowing ashtrays on the bar terrace were a small downside.
