EV chargers not working, comfortable room
We booked because the listing indicates EV Chargers available, when we got there the chargers had not been ‘wired in’ according to the receptionist. This was disappointing. The lounge was comfortable and we ate in there. Joseph was attentive to our needs, friendly and gave us some really fab recommendations for the area. For the property itself, generally we would say the lounge furniture needs upholstering and a degree of modernisation throughout the public areas would really lift the place. Comfortable bedroom, quiet location.

Short getaway
Amazing short trip away. Beautiful surroundings, excellent food, attentive staff. Warm and tidy room, bathroom a little tired but clean and functional. Was asked on check out for feedback only thing to add was wi fi would have been useful to help plan activities. Overall a fabulous individual hotel steeped in history on the edge of Ullswater.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We found the property needing update and was very highly priced for what it is. The wonderful view is acknowledged. Our room was noisy with a hot water boiler filling up and waking us on three occasions during the night. The receptionist was not helpful. Food was good especially the breakfast but costly. Most staff helpful but reception not welcoming.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful hotel and the staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. There were some parts of the room that the cleaners forgot such as cleaning under the glass on the bedside table which looked grubby. Food, other than breakfast, was poor and overly expensive.
