Terrible terrible nights stay.

2 night stay here near the Lake District with my pregnant wife as we drive back from Scotland offered us the following: Bits on the floor at arrival, a very warm room I believe the radiators were on as they felt warm so turned to 0, an unforgiving and rock hard bed and the ability to hear everything the other guests were doing until 2 am including watching tv, talking, turning lights on and off and walking around and to top it off there was an obscenely bright light outside our window which made it so difficult to sleep, of course there was only one member of staff we found in the morning and he was busy with breakfast so we just left as we especially my pregnant wife were never going to attempt another dreadful night there. The staff we did encounter were very pleasant and helpful and we did have a great meal in the evening. Awaiting to see if I get a response from the hotel before I contact hotels.com.

Really nice stay, staff were fabulous, they even made a fuss over our dog. Food was fab also. The only thing I would change is to pay more for a bigger room but that’s on us. Highly recommended

Business traveller
Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was cold, draughty and a summer duvet on the bed meant I needed more layers on than normal to sleep. The shower heads were full of black mould and unusable. And when the neighbouring room shut the door to the room the wall lights flickered on and off repetitivly. The food options were however very good, just a pity the restaurant mood music was battling with the kitchens rapnmusic which just made for an unpleasant dining experience.
