Lovely night away, the Inn was clean warm and cosy on a cold winters night.
The staff, especially Jordan are a credit, going over and a above, definitely be back soon.
I stayed here a few years ago and it was good then. The upgrade to the hotel is fabulous. Mid afternoon arrival, everything in the room was new or spotless. The addt charge for breakfast was good value. The staff especially Jordan were very helpful.
The staff were great! Unfortunately I was quite ill during my stay, I had to be rushed in to to Hospitam
The staff were great and helped in many ways, they made me feel special and I would recommend to anyone! Kind , helpful, friendly

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Accommadition very poor no shelves to put anything on no shelf in shower.Towels werent changed.Had to live out of a case. Continental breakfast was very poor didnt realise you had to pay for a full english until we got there .Breakfast room was cold & uninviting..No hairdryer .The staff were friendly but don't think we will stay again needs alot of improvement.
Overall, the stay was very good and was perfect for our trip to the Lake District. The location is perfect for navigating the Lakes as easy access to the M6. To the top of the lakes, it took us 1 hour by car. The continental breakfast served was plenty to start each day with. You can have cooked for £12 extra but we felt the continental option was more than enough.
The room was spacious and up to date. We stayed in the Herdsman. Only downside was the walls are very thin, meaning you can hear quite a lot next door conversation but that is to be expected in a pub with partition walls.
The pub itself is traditional and well kept together. Food served was standard pub food. Free parking is always a massive bonus.
After travelling around the UK for four weeks, this is one hotel we can wholeheartedly recommend. Great food, great service, good room. The only complaint we thought we were going to have, was too much light from the exterior lights coming through the curtains, but we had overlooked that the window also had a blind!
The Inn is welcoming. The car park is large. The staff are friendly.
The room was comfortable and a nice size for 2 people and suitcases.
The bathroom and room are clean.
