Lovely hosts, disappointing room

The hosts were lovely and very welcoming, remembering our names and very dog friendly. The cooked breakfast was great and they were very attentive, the breakfast buffet was a little underwhelming. The room was disappointing, and the pictures on the website seemed deceiving. The decor was very dated, and the cleanliness was sub par. The bath plug was clogged with hair, the towel rail was covered in dust and the mugs in the room weren't clean. The room felt unclean which was a shame.

Thought this was a hotel, but really a B & B. No housekeeping services; you have to go get your new towels etc, yourself. May be my fault for not researching enough before booking.

Perfectly located venue with very friendly service

Stayed for 2 nights with my wife. In a comfy room which had been refurbished. The room was compact but unless you were planning to spend a whole day in the room, it was perfect for sleeping and getting ready for the day. We were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who showed us to our room and explained the facilities and was really friendly along with the other staff throughout our stay. Nothing was too much bother and were always willing to help. The room was clean and the bed very comfy and had two fantastic nights sleep. Breakfast was good with quick service. Parking on site and ample. Only a 10 min walk if that to the town itself. Would defo recommend this B&B.

An ok stay

Reception was wonderful and helpful. Room was quiet but let down by cleanliness … thick dust on furniture & black dirt on windows. No water in the morning for a wash or toilet use. Had to resort to going downstairs to use the public toilet. Informed a staff member who said there was no water pressure in higher rooms and this had been mentioned before, but no management were available. I had sent a follow up email, but a week after the visit no response received.

My second time in a year to the Lake District. Great Hotel and excellent rooms. My room was flooded with light and a big comfortable bed. Heating was great and the house keeping. The breakfasts are fantastic and certainly worth the indulgence. It’s located in a lovely village, with breweries, pubs, tea rooms and local craft shops. I highly recommend a stay.
