The rooms are superb and modern with a lovely memory foam mattress and plenty of space. The bathrooms are great and the walk-in showers are a definite plus! Whilst we haven't eaten dinner at the hotel, we have had breakfast and can safely say it was delicious. The staff have been tremendous, helpful and friendly. The location is incredible, a short drive away from Central Lakes (less than an hour to Ambleside / Keswick) and a very short drive (15 mins) to Whitehaven on the coast.
This hotel is situated perfectly for every type of visitor. But with few public transport links - a car is needed. My only slight niggle is the WiFi. The smart TV in the room doesn't really work because the WiFi isn't strong enough but this is very very minor and did not negatively impact my stay at all. Would absolutely recommend this hotel again.
