The restaurant was excellent although the service was slow as there was no Maitre d' at the door to welcome and we had to wait quite a few minutes to be seated. However, the waiter cleared a table for us efficiently upon request. The setting was perfect for our outdoor weekend: rapidly flowing river outside our window and lovely views into the valley. The room was comfortable and spacious fitting myself, my husband and grown son adequately.

The staff we interacted with were very friendly being Jill and Harry. The premises needs a lot of attention. Breakfast needs an over hall re fruit selection. Arrived mid breakfast time fruit was finished except for prunes. Ran out of common brands of whisky. I don't know if there is a manager but was unsighted whilst we were there.

It was right on the river, which was very nice. I loved that we could eat dinner there. The room was okay. I felt like it needed a good spring cleaning with cobwebs in all of the windows.

The history of the hotel and the area, is very interesting as well as the Haverthwaite railway and close to the motor museum, both well worth a visit. The hotel itself although a little dated was charming. The staff were friendly and obliging but there may be more of them needed for busier times. The food was very good breakfast and evening meals delicious and a lunchtime sandwich also delicious.

Beautiful place, nice staff. We loved the large pool, hot tub, and sauna. Very decent hot break-fast in the morning and our room was large and comfortable. Only thing that would have been nice is to have a bar fridge in our room. The intended space was there for it, but it wasn’t there.

Amazing building, but inside let it down.

I absolutely can not fault the staff. They were all lovely, attentive and would do anything to help. However, the facilities are dated. Beautiful building, but the room wasn’t the cleanest. There was crumbs on the windowsill, hairs in the bath so I had to wash the bath out before my family could use it after swimming and the bedding kept coming off the bottom of the bed during the night. It was a warm room too, even with the window open and the heating down (201) At breakfast nearly all the plates were dirty with food residue on it and my husband was a bit concerned as he has an allergy to gluten. The swimming pool was cold, the facilities were dated with tiles chipped off in places and on the outside of the hot tub. If this beautiful building had some money spent on it it would make an amazing stay. The view out or room was lovely - see attached. But I wouldn’t rush back, not really worth the price we paid.
