perfect breakfast. rooms are clean. staff are friendly. Free parking in hotel can be challenging, but there are places close by you can park with charge. In busy times, having dinner at restaurants in the town can be difficult. Either book it early or eat in a different town like Ambleside.

Lovely place with good facilities, older property so our room was spacious, bed comfortable and good bathroom. A little noisy for the dog as we were on the ground floor next to reception. Limited parking outside the property but able to park across the road overnight until 10:00 am. Overall lovely stay.

What a fantastic place. We got such a friendly warm welcome, beautiful room, terrific breakfast. Central location is handy for going out for supper. My only niggle was that, because our room was on the ground floor, once breakfast service had started, we couldn't sleep due to noise of people and the radio.This was from about 7.30am.

It was our second stay at the Victorian and it won’t be our last. The room we had was very spacious and most definitely ‘dog friendly’. Our bed was comfortable and the breakfast experience was very pleasant with good quality food. Staff were very attentive and helped enhance our stay.
