We have just returned from a two night stay at the Abbey House and had a lovely time. The exterior of the building is, as other reviewers point out, idyllic, set in acres of private grounds and being just a stone's throw from Furness Abbey.

This is the only way that I can describe this hotel! From the web site the hotel looked stunning and idylic but as soon as you walk through the doors it is clear that this is not the case.
