We had a great stay and the position of the hotel was great for us. you get what you pay for and i am not being critical but a bit of an update, renovate and decoration in some areas would help to improve the hotel, however this did not affect our stay in any way and the staff were great as was the restaurant.
If you have the chance, take the cabin! It’s so nice to have your own backyard, with a spa and furniture outside, you really feel like home.
We ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel and it was delicious. The staff is really nice and smiling!
Would totally recommand! It’s close to any hikes + we saw a few bikers too!
Great room, brilliant choices on breakfast buffet. Enjoyed the pool,hot tub and steam room. Great grounds and parking. Enjoyed the cask ale not just fizzy t bar beer. Had 2 great evening meals. Nice and quiet away from the hustle and bustle, lots to see and do within driving distance. Great friendly attentive staff
We had a comfortable stay in a good clean room with restful beds and efficient bathroom facilities.We appreciated the quiet location and pleasant outlook over the garden area and surrounding landscape......fine weather helped.
Staff members were helpful and friendly; food choice was good at breakfast.

An okay hotel for a short stay.
Staff were friendly. Breakfast was okay with veggies in the morning. Swimming pool is cold. Outdated.
Breakfast buffet was good with decent selections, bed comfortable. Room small and a bit noisy with thin walls. Bathroom dated, shower cubicle very small and a bit grubby.
Hotel grounds were really nice and the staff were very friendly
We booked this hotel for 3 nights. The location is beautiful but quite remote. No shops so a car is needed. A lovely bar/restaurant with helpful staff, an amazing menu. Harry at reception is so helpful . If going for a cruise or into Windermere there is a card for 20% off-available from reception. A model village in the grounds . The room we had was a bit quirky but that did not bother us. There is a swimming pool, small gym and massage therapy. Would highly recommend for a few days away.
Stayed in a pod with hot tub, great use of space and logs provided for the burner.
Outside area could benefit from some small touches like solar fairy lights, dry seating cushions and maybe robes.
Fabulous sleep, so tranquil, great breakfast, good selection and tasty , hot food.
Swimming pool was out of use, no partial refund was offered.
Overall a very pleasant stay.
Great breakfast, room was good, but found some dirty pillows. Rooms are not soundproof so you will hear everything from next rooms or from upstairs. You're not allowed to buy food from outside and dinners but expensive.
Second stay here, and I look forward to returning. Staff are so friendly and accommodating.
Excellent leisure facilities and a overall great place to stay!
Really lovely stay, the grounds are amazing.
The room was really clean and the breakfast was fantastic!
We loved the added extra of the pool facilities, lovely way to start a day off
Can't wait to return in the future
