Very friendly staff, rooms and beds are grate. Nothing major to complain about, would definitely go back. However, the breakfast could have been more extensive, with cheese, ham, etc., and a wider selection of fresh bread. Recommend

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in one of the family rooms, capable of sleeping six (One King, Four Singles) which was fantastic to find as a family of five. The room itself was spacious, clean and the beds were comfortable. Nice range of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water and biscuits in the room, plenty of towels etc. We used the pool and spa which were well maintained and wasn't too busy at the time we were there. We had a look at the restaurant menu for dinner which was fine for adults, but wasn't much in the way of children's options, there was Pizza available but that was the only thing our fussy kids would have had.

We had a lovely family room - Ideal for the 4 of us. Parents had a 2 person room in the old building. My advice is to request a room in the new building if you prefer to avoid stairs - We were not aware of all the stairs and my parents found it difficult. This wouldn't stop us staying again - we would just request a ground floor room. Food was good. Parking was good. Most of the staff were excellent. Was in an excellent location for our needs.

4/10 Fair

Stayed here for 3 nights room was really nice overall the hotel and spa were in good condition. Breakfast was poor seemed like it was catering for coach trips full English was nothing to right home about. Hard poached eggs etc, I get there probably doing things in a budget but it can still be done well. Staff were not the friendliest bunch I’ve ever met either.

Perfect place to stay. The hotel is great, staff very friendly and accommodating, breakfast was brilliant. The spa is a very nice added bonus. Pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi - just what you need after a long hike! Also has EV charging - £30 flat rate. I would 100% stay here again.

All the staff, especially those in the bar/restaurant area were excellent. They were very accommodating, warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Room was lovely, although you do need some level of navigational expertise to find your room and your way around the hotel!
Verified review

6/10 Good

Lovely staff but this wasn’t a four star experience. Room had a shower cubicle which was more suited to a 1 star property- surely even a non deluxe room for price paid should not have a shower cubicle in this state. Dirty facecloth stayed behind the towel rail for the duration of our 4 night stay. Dirty smelly cleaning cloth left in our room beside the tea making facilities (which were very good) one day. Lovely pool but changing rooms need a proper clean! Very good breakfast and service in the restaurant. Overall ok but advise you to book a deluxe room when hopefully you’ll get better experience than we had

Lovely place, clean, some maintenance happening, but didn't disturb our 5 days. Breakfast had plenty choices including Eggs Benedict or Eggs Royale, restaurant, lovely food. Staff very friendly and helpful. 20min drive from Keswick, which was handy for more restauarants, bars and the boat trip was brilliant. Tennis Court, mini golf a bonus on-site and swimming pool was good size and good to cool down as weather was hot for our trip. Being Scottish, it would be nice to have bar open a bit later,overall stay was excellent, definitely would visit again.

The room was very clean and had just been renovated, making it feel much more comfortable. The front desk staff were not particularly friendly and could improve their customer service. However, the restaurant staff provided excellent service and deserve recognition. The swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi facilities were excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.
