Just returned from a weekend here with my wife and our 19 month old son. Firstly let me say the staff here are excellent, as is the food, although we only had breakfast. The pool also was very nice too. We wanted a treat as our son had just come out from hospital and recovered from his operation and stitches,... More

Thank you for your review and for your positive feedback. On a negative side, i am sorry that you were disturbed by other guests and that you thought breakfast expensive. When pre-bought at £12.45 per person, we believe it represents great value for what's on offer. I'm sorry that you disagree and sincerely hope it does not deter you from... More

Looking for a convenient weekend base for a family wedding near Penrith, we decided to treat ourselves and our grown-up children to somewhere with facilities and obvious comfort. We were not disappointed. Large bedrooms, comfortable beds (although why did they utilise only a king-size quilt on a superking bed?), good pool and decent breakfasts. The hotel has ample parking and... More

Thanks for taking the time to comment, and delighted you enjoyed your stay. Not sure what time you came down for breakfast, but we are generally very flexible, especially at weekends. I'm also sorry that you didn't enjoy your pint of Thwaites, which I promise to follow up with my Bar Manager. We hope to see you again soon. Kind... More

This hotel is very good at looking after you and the well mannered staff are to be commended on their impeccable customer focus. Far from being one of the numbers you are treated as an individual and nothing is too much trouble, even when something goes wrong you can approach the staff and be secure in the knowledge that something...

We arrived from the Isle of Skye after a long drive from the Isle of Skye to find out that the reservation we expected to have been made for us did not exist.

I stayed here for one night for a business trip. Finding the hotel was very easy, just off the M6, which after a long drive was convenient. The parking bays were a bit small but most are these days! Check in was painless and quick and the lobby area was open and spacious. The room was large enough and clean... More

Stayed at the hotel over 30 times in the last 6 months and found the service to be excellent with the staff in particular very friendly and accomodating.

I stayed for one night. The hotel is in the middle of a housing area and my sat navigation went bonkers trying to find it. Rooms very clean. But nothing remarkable. Service at dinner was pleasant but food slow. Breakfast was okay. But they could learn from Premier Inn. Absolutely nothing wrong with hotel but nothing about it stands out... More
