Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with views of the hills, but some updates are needed, especially in the bathroom. The service was exceptional, meeting my high expectations. The location is ideal for exploring the Lake District, with easy access to the village center. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the hotel could benefit from some improvements in that area.
The hotel is nestled next to the river, offering beautiful views. The rooms were very comfortable and well-maintained. The service, although normally wonderful, had some shortcomings that affected a special occasion. The location is superb with access to nature and nearby attractions, but the dining experience didn't quite meet expectations.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while clean, quiet, and comfortable, were a bit small and cramped, especially for the price. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. The location was convenient, close to the village center but lacked some details. The dining experience was good with a nice selection, yet there were some missed opportunities. Overall, a decent stay but room for improvement.
