This hotel outside appearance is uninspiring, however inside the bar & restaurant it is welcoming with a roaring fire lovely on a very cold day.
Food is excellent, particularly the breakfast, with an interesting assortment.
Our room was a good size & thankfully near the car park as when you access the hotel through the back door it is a route march to find reception.
Room was amazing
Breakfast was incredible
Hotel was fantastic and the most dog friendly place I've ever been

The only negative I have was we stayed in room 8 so practically every guest staying had to walk passed our room. The floor boards oustdie creeked everything a guest walked passed our room. We must have been above the bar a it was noisy until quite late cleaning up.
Nice quiet spot in the lake region. Well equipped room and a good value. Breakfast was outstanding and the staff was great, however seemed short handed.
One night get away, lovely meal in a great environment

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were upgraded to a luxury room. There was nothing luxury about it, very tired, tiles around the bath cracked and lifting, wall behind the bath water damage. The room looked nothing like the pictures, it was tiny, dark and gloomy. I understand it is an old building, but this room should definitely not be classed as luxury.
Very old building, lovingly maintained, with very modern rooms, best of both worlds. All the staff are extremely freindly and professional, the food is exceptional, great stay.
room was great large room and very comfortable much more than we expected for the money we paid service and staff first class highly recommend it and restaurant was very good
Really nice hotel with incredibly friendly staff who work hard under a lot of pressure. Room was beautiful, shame the hotel closes down so early at night.
