Brantwood Hotel

We got a lovely welcome when we arrived. The room was small but very clean and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly. Dinner and breakfast were great. Warm delicious food. Lovely cosy bar area to sit and have a drink. The only downside was that the shower didnt work. We reported this when we checked out.

Clean and comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff, very good food for breakfast and evening meal. Re. the latter, if we lived nearer we would be frequent visitors but unfortunately we live 250 miles away! Only problem with our room (room 1) was that the shower was pretty poor.

A pleasant stay

Very pleasant stay. Entrance to the car park was a bit restricted through an achway, especially in a pick-up truck! Only other thing is the TV... it's a bit old! The reception was a tad dodgy. Overall though the rooms are nice, the bathroom lovely, the staff friendly and the fod very nice indeed!

Less than expected satisfaction

Cleanliness on the surface looked reasonable, however, the sheets and towels had an unpleasant smell that indicates inadequate laundering.

Lakes Stay

Hotel was excellent. Really clean and pleasurable stay and a great base to explore the Lakes. Food was great, and Wifi worked well in the bedrooms albeit less well in the restaurant.
