This was a great stay for our family. Two adults and 3 kids (two teens and a preteen) fit comfortably in one of the larger rooms. The rooms were simple, but clean and a great base for exploring the Lake District. Staff was very friendly and Breakfast was wonderful!

Overall a great stay and we'll go again given the opportunity, even if the shower was a bit tricky. Really friendly staff, evening dinner and breakfast delicious with big portions, even a small portion of the Cumbrian kept us going the whole day.

Easy and convenient parking. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent restaurant with great options for the whole family. The room was clean but hot as we happened to be there on a rare hot day. We had dinner there and the breakfast included with our stay was great. Many options for breakfast and were all popular with our family. Thank you.
