Overall a very cosy traditional Lakeland hotel. Extremely clean rooms and very pleasant, helpful staff. Good choice at breakfast. Nice leisure facilities, pool can become overcrowded during school holidays...perhaps a booking system would improve access? Dining room feels a little austere on the evening perhaps needs some soft furnishings, a bit of tlc.

Gorgeous stay here. Really family friendly with our two small children. Family room was spacious (but stairs so not pram accessible). Breakfast was great, we had lots of fun in the pool.

We have stayed here on several occasions and really enjoyed it. However, this visit the room was extremely cold and we had to ask for a blanket- it helped but was still cold. The WiFi signal was appalling- could not get a decent connection which hasn’t happened in previous visits. The breakfast was lovely and the staff very pleasant. After this visit we may not go again
