Not bad hotel
The hotel itself was ok, bit outdated for the money, its not a spa.. its more a leasure center type feel, no warer in the eater funnel so when you've sat in the sauna you're goosed lol. Breakfast was ok..was what it was.. room not bad aside couldn't turn my heating off so was uncomfortable to sleep in, no extra pillows ( i know asl reception) but should be a general thing in the cupboard really. It wasnt BAD it was just ok.

A well-appointed and clean hotel. Lovely leisure complex containing a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Good food for both breakfast and an evening meal. Friendly staff. Would go back and thus thoroughly recommend it for a stay in the Lake District.

Hidden gem
First time staying here and would definitely stay again. The staff were really friendly and helpful with all my needs. The meals were excellent and impeccable service. Yes the hotel felt a bit tired but it was in keeping with being in the countryside. The pool and gym were very clean.

We enjoyed our two night stay, nice big hotel, friendly staff, ample parking, brilliant shower and lovely views! The food isn’t brilliant just average pub food and the drinks are quite expensive for the area! Parts of the hotel are looking a bit tired now and in need of a refurbishment!

1980s museum
Not normally a fan of giving bad reviews but as the hotel staff didn't care to ask.... This hotel has to be the most dates old fashioned hotel I have ever stayed in. I would predict the rooms where last updated in the 1980s at the same time the mattress was replaced, it had 0 support. The bathroom very similarly had no luxury / comfort or nice features. We stayed in an Exec room, I have no idea what was executive in that room. certainly not the 15 year old tv. Breakfast wasnt great either. We went for the cooked option that consisted of microwaved scrambled eggs. undercooked black pudding 3 rashers of bacon stuck to each other and some beans. (beans where good) I think it is a clear indication of a hotel on check out when you aren't asked how was your stay or how was your room as they know full well at £190 per night it was appalling. Give this hotel a miss

The hotel is very convenient for the North Lakes. Good to be a few miles away from overcrowded Keswick. Loads of parking, and rare to find a swimming pool in the area at a reasonable price. Really appreciated the pool and Jacuzzi after a day walking. booked a standard room and found it to be a good size and well furnished. Only serves meals in the bar but ours turned out to be very good. Breakfast nothing special but quite ok. Hannah was friendly and helpful on reception. Been before and will go again.
