Bardon Mill Vacations from $1,450

No more than okay … Lowry stayed at the hotel in the 1930s … it seemed to be like it was still caught in that era. Like so many hotels in the UK now lack of attention to detail is have a present.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful and the staff were really attentive. We ate at the restaurant twice and spent our final night at the tipi. The food and cocktails in both was absolutely exceptional each night. I done a lot of research before booking this location as it was for our anniversary and my husbands birthday and this looked like a really lovely peaceful area. We were really impressed when we first arrived and seen the place, we had a group of sheep gathered outside our cabin and beautiful birds and ducklings in the pond. Unfortunately, it came to light when we went to bed that the wedding venue is located right behind the cabins. I understand it is wedding season and this would be a popular wedding venue however, we were kept up after a 6 hour drive, unable to open the windows because of the noise. Friday night was lovely and peaceful and we slept great to the sound of the water feature in the lake. We were kept awake late again by loud music and guests on the Saturday night, with another long 6 hours drive home the following morning. Had I have known this was the layout, I'd have been less likely to choose this location and I do think it should be made more known when booking. Such a shame because apart from the everything else was really perfect. I'd hoped to raise this at checkout but I was promptly handed our bill and not asked about our stay

Had a lovely stay, the room was lovely
