Lovely hotel, quaint & quirky, with low ceilings in places but not an issue. Pets were welcome. We had breakfast included and it was delicious, everything you needed. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom looked to be newly renovated.
Excellent room with all facilities clean and working. Staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the restaurant staff.
High quality everything, the food is exceptional!

This hotel outside appearance is uninspiring, however inside the bar & restaurant it is welcoming with a roaring fire lovely on a very cold day.
Food is excellent, particularly the breakfast, with an interesting assortment.
Our room was a good size & thankfully near the car park as when you access the hotel through the back door it is a route march to find reception.

Friendly staff, delicious food and great location. Hotel is a little run down but good value for money.
Nice quiet spot in the lake region. Well equipped room and a good value. Breakfast was outstanding and the staff was great, however seemed short handed.
Very old building, lovingly maintained, with very modern rooms, best of both worlds. All the staff are extremely freindly and professional, the food is exceptional, great stay.
room was great large room and very comfortable much more than we expected for the money we paid service and staff first class highly recommend it and restaurant was very good
Staff were all excellent and very welcoming. Food esp the breakfast was superb.
Room was far to hot - had to have all windows open and radiators off - can not be good for the enviroment!
Found a few (10 ish) clothes moths in the room, so had to hot wash all clothes on return home. This was reported and I would like feedback on the actions of the hotel

Rather overpriced food and a car or cab drive away from town. Very helpful staff and picturesque
Absolutely lovely hotel. Great rooms and bar/ restaurant area. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The fact that there was a beautiful woodland walk from the hotel was a bonus. Will definitely be returning.
We had another wonderful overnight stay here and brought our dog this time. He was welcomed and there was even a dog goody bag in the room!
All staff members were very polite and we were made to feel welcome.
