"Dissapointed I was expecting a better dining experience. 3 star would be more appropriate."

4.0

Property is nicely situated and staff were generally helpful

Driveway entrance difficult to see oncoming vehicles due to badly placed signage. Dinner menu was the same for 2 consecutive nights. Dinner was overpriced £19.50 supplement for a steak leads one to assume standard food costs are vastly overpriced Bathroom plumbing outdated Never managed to connect my Iphone to the guest wifi.

"Beautiful location and spacious rooms. The food was very good and the staff were lovely."

8.0

The extensive gardens and secluded sitting areas within the gardens. The direct access to the lake is an added bonus.

Although the room was lovely, in terms of size and views, it had a musky 'dog' smell and the chairs were stained. Furniture wasn't as clean as I would have expected.

"Lake District Heaven"

10.0

A beautiful property to celebrate our engagement - the staff went above and beyond to make it a stay to remember! Would definitely reccomend adding half board and enquiring about celebration packages!

Slightly dated in places and in need of a lick of paint… more than made up for by the incredible views!

"Overpriced and showing its age."

2.0

The location was great, but like all Lake District locations they are great

Building maintenance isn’t up-to-date and or done cheaply. The ceiling of my balcony had crumbling Concrete bathroom sealant look like it had been done by a two-year-old. The whole place needs to be refreshed with skilled tradesmen.

Lovely traditional hotel

It really could do with a bit of a makeover, looks a little tired. It wouldn’t take much. It’s a lovely old building but definitely needs a bit of TLC.
