10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel ,good sized room ,very quiet ,excellent facilities. Great TV with extra chanels like netflix,YouTube, iplayer . Loved the outside bit ,even in winter it was nice to sit outside as the view was stunning. Plenty of tea/coffee and fresh biscuits every day . Huge clean towels ,very warm and cosy . Breakfast was amazing, loads of choice and delicious food . We had an evening meal on the first night which was also outstanding. The staff went out of their way to please you . The only issue we had is that there is no where comfortable to sit in the bar for a drink! I had envisaged log fires and cosy corners but it was only really dining tables , we had to go back to our room . It was also expensive for drinks , a baileys coffee was £11 ,which surprised me as a baileys was only £4 !!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again .

10/10 Exceptional

Superb pub with rooms some of which are pet friendly. The bar area was open to dogs and we met quite a few well behaved pooches. The food is the same whether restaurant or bar and is excellent. The breakfasts are worthy of mention, eggs were delicious. Staff are lovely helpful and seem very happy in their work. They could not do enough for us. Excellent large car park with quick access to reception. Needless to say surrounded by beautiful scenery, Lakeland views and set in a quiet location . Brilliant short break.
