In a poor state inside ,rooms not serviced . The staff are very pleasant and the grounds are very nice. In a good position to walk into Keswick. The price you pay to stay ,then they want you to pay for parking per night we don’t think is very good.

Beautiful grounds but hotel needs improvement. Public areas scruffy with dirty upholstery, doors and walls. They charge £6 per night to park car which wasn't mentioned when I booked. Lift out of order. My room was cold but radiator did not work. Instant coffee powder at breakfast which you have to make yourself and no fresh fruit. You are asked to choose what you want for dinner within an hour of check in and loud music playing at both dinner and breakfast. Quiet background music would have been much better. On the plus side, staff were very friendly.

Clean and comfortable

Lovely location and good hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable, hallways were very noisy/creeky and stairwells were dated. Good bar area and restaurant, with a very good breakfast. Unfortunately the evening meal service was not available, no prior notice was given of this and alternative plans had to be made.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Lovely looking Hotel on the outside but once inside it was very tired looking and in need of an overall refurbishment. Facilities very poor. The TV remote didn’t work and the shower was like going back to prehistoric times. Very poor water pressure. For a £100 plus per night it totally fell short of my high expectations when I booked it. Would not return again.
