Diamond wedding stay
We loved the refurbished bedroom very tastefully done &spacious
The food was very good
Staff friendly
Only complaint was nobody to help elderly people to get their suitcases upstairs
but apart from that we were very happy
Great well located hotel to explore the Lakes from. Recently renovated and attractive decoration throughout.
Busy Christmas period and staff worked really hard to keep everyone happy.
Great for dogs as well!
Amazing stay, that amazing we decided to extend our stay to another night! Can’t fault anything. Food is also great! Great dog friendly pub too. Will definitely recommend this place. We will sure be returning! Thank you
Food needs to improve, fantastic setting, brilliant staff, hotel upgraded to a high standard, the food let’s it down, especially the under cooked bacon & sausages at breakfast, & the greasy chips at dinner time.
