charming and friendly staff

Beautiful period property. Very nicely decorated, very clean and well maintained. Lovely staff. Loved the bar area with the settees too. Such a lovely feel to the place.

Breakfast and evening meal was very good.

We were in room 23 an outside annex, was ok just needs some TLC in areas and abit of colour adding wasn't inviting but did the job for 1 night.

Great food. Friendly. Relaxing.

The accessible room was good, bathroom well designed and accessible. Ventilation could be better. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. Every staff member we met was very professional and friendly. Location was really good. It helped the the weather was terrific. Perfectly placed for the Ravenglass - Eskdale Railway.

Nothing that I can think of.

The staff were very friendly.

Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with my stay. The smell throughout the room was incredibly pungent and overpowering. It felt like it was being used to cover something up, and it became quite nauseating after a while. There were also several maintenance and cleanliness issues. The bath plug was broken, the windows were dirty with cobwebs around them, and the window sills were cracked and damaged. The carpet was stained, which made the room feel unclean overall. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the pillow was unbelievably thin. M ore like the width of a TV remote than an actual pillow. To make matters worse, the decorative throw pillows on top were sagging and visibly dirty. I also don’t understand why throw pillows are still used in hotels given how unhygienic they can be. The bed was so uncomfortable that my back and neck were hurting for the next few days afterwards. Overall, the room felt very tired, poorly maintained, and far below expectations.
