Value for money
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was lovely, spacious, and clean, with plenty of storage. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The hotel is located in a quiet area near the beach, making it a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Additionally, the hotel is very close to South Lakes Safari Zoo, which was the reason for our trip. The restaurant food was also delicious, and we enjoyed our meals there.
There was nothing we didn't like.
We had a fantastic stay! The rooms were spacious and spotless. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the shower was fantastic. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist us. They provided excellent service throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious, offering high-quality options. The location was convenient, allowing us to easily explore the beautiful Lake District on our motorbikes. We also appreciated having parking facilities available.
Couldn't find any faults at all.
Lovely, spacious, and clean room with plenty of storage. Quiet and remote location. Helpful and pleasant staff. Excellent WiFi.
Nothing at all. Everything was great!
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The breakfast was a truly enjoyable experience, with plenty of choices and the option to enjoy my morning beverage outside. The free WiFi provided was incredible, especially considering the location. Checking in online beforehand made the whole process very easy and efficient. The ground floor bedroom I stayed in was beautifully decorated. I was part of a large group for a family wedding, and this hotel provided lots of space in the conservatory to relax and catch up between wedding events in the function room. The staff, especially David in the evening and the friendly cousin in the morning, were welcoming and helpful. The room itself was very spacious and comfortable. Even though the hotel is a bit out of the way of everything, it is still an excellent choice. However, a car is needed to fully enjoy this location.
Couldn't fault the hotel.
