Still good in many way, but the food and service in particular has slipped somewhat. Maybe they get the occupancy levels without having to try very hard? Hopefully things will recover? more

We stayed for one night at the end of a very wet week's camping so thoroughly enjoyed spoiling ourselves. I would agree with all positive comments already made. A couple of things to add: if you go for the fine dining option for dinner, rather than the bar, note that they have a dress code and say that they won't... more

This hotel was an unexpected gem in the less touristed western Lake District on Lake Buttermere that we just happened to find without an advance booking. The hotel has operated over 100 years in this building, but has been updated, is well maintained and very tastefully decorated.

It was a wonderful location and we had a relaxing weekend strolling around the lakes and surrounding areas. The bar and restaurant served good meals and there was a good selection of drinks.
