Lovely friendly staff.. great interior and good breakfast..
Didn't enjoy finding long black hairs in the bath tub, and linen smelt damp ..
But still a great place to stay .
Clean room, great steaks, breakfast was what we needed to get up the big hill and staff were welcoming - but short staffed at the bar and our room was in the basement overlooking the car park … can’t expect a lake view for the price I suppose
Booked to allow direct access on to Helvelyn. The hotel is ideally located on the waste of the village and was great for a few days on the mountains. Staff were friendly and helpful and the bar was great after a hard day with good food.

Wonderful stay with family to attend a wedding in the lakes. Beautiful spacious rooms, cleaned to a very high standard. Would book again
Room's were clean, good breakfast, ideal for walking .View's were stunning. Staff were friendly. Not many car parking space but the car park was about 2 mins away. Overall a good place to stay
Staff were all bizarrely miserable without exception from what we experienced. It was really odd and was quite a vibe killer for what was otherwise an outstandingly beautiful hotel and location
