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.

We had a fantastic family break. The swimming pool was excellent for my five year old and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms were very spacious and clean. There were a couple of minor jobs that needed fixing in the bathroom such as a wonky toilet seat and a broken plug. The grounds were lovely and the outdoor tennis looked fantastic. The outdoor eating space was glorious in the sun. There were clearly improvements being made to the property at the time of our stay but it did not affect the brilliant time we had there.

No warning of renovation works, strong smell of paint, fire doors wedged open, I had to close myself. Quite cold as all doors open. Lots of flies too.
