"Nice, clean and quiet property. The best part was the breakfast. We were surprised to see that everything was made to order and not a typically buffet morning breakfast. And all of it tasted really good. "

"Wonderful location. Room comfortable and huge! Bathroom too. No complaints at all."

"Lovely bedroom, nice views out window.excellent dinner, very well looked after by Mike the bartender, waiter. Good breakfast.Very well looked after. We only did one night but wished we'd had 2 or3,lovely area."

"Lovely hotel with stunning views. The big plus is the food - breakfast was excellent and dinner both nights was really enjoyable. It’s in a great location to explore the northern part of the Lakes. Some parts of the hotel could do with a bit of TLC. Staff are really good, would definitely recommend."

"I recently stayed at this hotel in the Lake District with my family for five nights. Our main goal was to climb Scafell Pike, and this hotel stood out as the nearest option within my price range. Initially, I didn’t have very high expectations (despite the good reviews), but those quickly changed once we arrived. The location was peaceful and quiet, the car park was large and well-planned, and the room exceeded my expectations—it was far more spacious than any hotel room I’ve stayed in before. The staff were warm, humble, and genuinely welcoming, which added to the experience. Breakfast was included in the price and was a real highlight. Instead of a standard buffet, you order from a menu (available online), and the food is freshly prepared for you. There were plenty of options, including vegetarian and vegan choices, which I thought was excellent. The bathroom was also very spacious and clean. The only small drawbacks were that the sofa bed was only a single (despite there being enough room for a double), and the showerhead over the bathtub was fixed. The location was very convenient—just a 25-minute drive to Scafell Pike and about 40 minutes to the west coast, where towns like Whitehaven and Workington offer plenty of restaurants (including McDonald’s, KFC, and Domino’s for budget options), as well as major supermarkets like Morrisons, ASDA, and Tesco. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and would happily return. Highly recommended."

"Beautiful building, great staff and amazing food. Just about to go under refurb with exciting pictures and designs of proposed updating and improvements are scattered around the hotel. Best wishes with that 👍"

"Fantastic staff Lovely food Especially noteworthy breakfasts "

"Beautiful building and property. Spacious rooms with decent wifi, fridge, fan and comfortable chairs and bed. Good restaurant in the building too. Enjoyed the critters in the yard: cats, peacocks, Guinea hens, chickens, geese, and scrunchy faced pigs. Would have loved to have stayed longer. "

"The single sitting dinner is a little eccentric given the number of guests, but the food is good"
