"Overpriced "

"We stayed five nights at this lovely hotel. Our lake view room was large and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Including a small fridge with bottled water replaced each day. Comfortable bed and great linen. Two comfortable chairs and a table in front of the window made it a great place to relax for a while with a cup of tea. The staff were friendly and efficient. Always a welcome when we returned from a day out. We had one evening meal in the restaurant and two in Ruskins and the food was tasty and well prepared. Also had lunch in the conservatory one day, a good sharing ploughman’s. Breakfast was really good, with lots of choice and hot dishes freshly prepared. We didn’t get to use the spa but it looked very good. So convenient for the lake cruises, it was lovely to be able to have a day out without the car exploring the lake and towns. Great setting for visiting the Predator Centre, we had seen about it on the hotel website and booked a walking with wolves experience. Also just down the road from Beatrix Potters house. "

"This stuff are brilliant and go out the way to help you. Just mind the potholes in the car park."

"The hotel rooms appeared a bit tired. Phone in room must have been over 40 years old. Breakfast had poor selection. Wouldn't stay again."

"Lovely hotel with ample parking. Easy walk into town for food or a visit to The Theatre on the lake. Excellent breakfast and bar facilities. The only suggestion I would make is bottled water in the room would be a nice touch."

"Staff were excellent and the breakfast provision was also very good. The room was ok and a decent size. The cold tap wouldn’t move atall though when we tried to have a bath. We had to run cold into the bath through the showerhead. Plenty of parking though which was also free which isn’t a given everywhere anymore. "
