Stay was good, last day waited nearly an hour for breakfast had to leave as I had work so no breakfast

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, good food, friendly staff and a nice spa. A good base for the Lakes
LEE, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff are fantastic- extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast a little chaotic. If you’re not early you can be waiting 45mins for food and they ran out of eggs during our stay. Also almost all of our group of 16 had to have tepid or cold showers which was also disappointing. That said we enjoyed our stay and we’d go back.

Jo, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A little bit dated and our room had quite a few stains on carpet and upholstery. Service at both the evening meal and breakfast was slow and appeared to be a lack of organisation/experince.

Relaxation
Nice but the rooms looking a little tired in the old buildings now. Lovely food here and of course location beautiful
A, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thumbs up.
The hotel was lovely and the room we stayed in had a very comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities and a river view. The food was very nice although a little on the pricey side. I was a bit disappointed that the picture of the pool on the website which went outside was only accessible via the spa though. Breakfast was a little chaotic and took us sometime to get our breakfast ordered. Overall this was a great one night stay.

Jamie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I had high hopes for the hotel given its social media presence but found it in need of a bit of tlc. The food and drink were really overpriced, we waited 45 minutes for breakfast then when asking if all was ok found the order had been lost and there was another 20 minute wait. Staff were not very attentive. Our room was a bit rough around the edges and not the particularly clean the saving grace was the size and comfort of the bed
