Very happy with my visit. I stayed two nights and was very pleased. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The room had clearly been recently refurbished, with a new bathroom, very good shower and new carpets/furnishings. It had a boutique feel and all at reasonable prices.

What a lovely place to stay. It has been renovated recently to a high standard. Staff are very helpful and friendly and could not be more helpful. We stayed in the triple room with a huge bathroom. Breakfast was fantastic. Very close to the train station. Excellent value. Will come again.

This is the first hotel that we have taken our dogs to and were very apprehensive, but from the minute we arrived we realised we had not made a mistake! In a great location we were able to enjoy the Lakes with our dogs in a warm, friendly, modern and very comfortable hotel. The staff were so helpful and took... More

The service was excellent, super friendly and helpfull. The restaurant has the best home made food I have had in England! The rooms were very nice, very good beds and very clean. Its the place to stay or at least have dinner if you go to the Lake District.

Having recently been refurbished we stayed in a lovely large room with the most comfortable bed in the world and our children both had put up beds. We all slept amazingly well considering we were away from home. It was... More
