Disappointing, will not return

Disappointing. Room booked and paid for in hotel not available. Was relocated at room across the road which meant trailing through heavy rain each day to breakfast and the bar/restaurant. Request for refund or reduction declined. Breakfast tables left uncleared. Shortage of cutlery, glasses, mugs, serviettes every day. Long queues left at the bar while 3 staff chatted to one client checking room availability. General impression - standard far below that of other Inn Collection Hotels

Friendly staff. Decent room but next to main road. Horrendous road noise which was acceptable during night. Expensive food and drinks ( if you order wine by the glass be specific or you will be served the most expensive without warning ) - you can save significantly by walking 200 yards to the restaurant adjacent to the YHA and eating with superb views over the lake. Hotel has large beer garden stretching to lakeside but views are limited when busy. Good breakfasts ( range of prices up to £19 for full English ). Clean rooms. 2 minutes walk to ferries and lakeside. 10 minutes walk to centre of town.

Excellent location

Really lovely stay, location excellent, really nice room and breakfast lovely. Food from the bar menu ok, but pricey for what you get, prawn sandwhich was a let down. Would be even better if you could order from the table via app. Will definately go again and recommend.

Loughrigg Suite

It was a lovely hotel, with friendly staff. The room was beautiful, a little noisy from the room above on the first night of our stay (which kept our little boy awake). However this did not affect how much we loved this hotel. The food and atmosphere was amazing. Not to mention the brilliant location. We would have loved the tipi to have been up so will definitely return once that is in place. We stayed in the Loughrigg suite - A great small addition would be some coat hangers behind the door upon entry to hang outdoor coats but everything else was perfect.

A decent hotel

We enjoyed a two night break. The hotel was fine, but nothing special. We were comfortable had a decent breakfast but evening meals were unimpressive.

Awesome spot for hiking central or exploring surrounding points of interest. Far from the madding crowd - in winter at least! Great atmosphere! Dog friendly ❤️ Breakfast a bit so so buffet style but maybe because of season and cold plates - because of season. Will be back

Excellent location but we expected more for price

Excellent location but for the price we paid for a family suite we expected more. That said, the service on checking in was brilliant, the breakfasts were nice, if a little chaotic on the second day (first day was buffet, second was via ordering). Evening pub grub wasn’t bad. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean but we had some trouble with a broken lock. We paid extra for late checkout (12 noon as opposed to the 10.30 standard) but we think 12 noon should be the standard. I’d start again but not at the price we paid.
