Stayed in a family room with wife and 3 kids. Room was very spacious and comfortable, with lovely views from large windows. Dinner and breakfast both very good with lots of options. I left a jacket by mistake, and the staff were really great and shipped it back to me right away. Great service! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is very friendly staff couldnt do enough for you . The food was 5 star on all meals and we could also pay extra to have breakfast in bed . (Real treat ) We had a four poster room which was lovely and a good size but a little noisey from the road .The beds and pillows were to hard for us but this is our preference so might suit a lot of people. All in all a wonderful stay and enjoyed the pool and sauna ,jacuzzi also We will ba back

The hotel is in a quiet rural area out of town. It would be beneficial if you have a car, but there is a good bus service and the bus stop is across the road from the hotel. When we were there the hotel was being renovated but we never found this a problem and everyone was very helpful, lovely staff.

Great family friendly hotel near Keswick
Staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The leisure facilities are fabulous and our children loved it. The roaring log fire was our favourite spot to sit and play a game or two.

Lovely hotel, large rooms.
Lovely welcome, great pool area and restaurant was nice. The rooms are huge and they have everything you need. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment which is desperately needed but the staff were brilliant and we felt very happy there. Location is good and the grounds are beautiful.

Staff and food spot on. Rooms a little dated and came with no fridge which was a surprise. Building work was going on which cannot be helped but would have been nice to be informed.
