Fabulous Stay

Gorgeous Hotel centrally located in the village of Hawkshead, room had all the facilities, key pad entry so no keys to carry Bottles of water by the bedside and even my favourite Costa Coffee pods for the coffee maker Beautiful restaurant/cafe downstairs. Breakfast was included in my stay and was one of the best I’ve had Staff were very helpful and very nice Really can’t fault it and would definitely stay again

John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Can't praise the staff enough, helpful, friendly, accomodating, and the room was lovely. We both had the full English breakfast which was superbly cooked and high quality, and check in was easy and convenient. The only downside was that the mattress was just too firm for both myself and my wife which lead to a quite uncomfortable nights sleep, the staff kindly offered to switch rooms however they all have the same mattress on the beds so this wouldn't have improved the situation, and we decided to leave a night early due to this. I fully appreciate that a mattress firmness is very much a personal preference so depending on the individual it may or may not be a concern, but I do think it's something to be aware of, as a comfortable nights sleep is the primary reason for staying somewhere and sadly we couldn't acheive this. This was the only downside to an otherwise excellent accomodation which I'd happily recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Poor poppy Red

No Communication at all from the Hotel . It was all very basic and starting to look very tired . We ate in the Restaurant but was very very poor !!

Kjempeflott, men liten og hard seng samt harde puter trekker helhetsinntrykket ned.

Spooky!

Accommodation was great! Unfortunately our dog was pretty spooked the whole time….might have been due to the ghost tour over the road!!!

Ms barton

To start off, I didn’t get a code to get into the property, couldn’t get into the room So trying numerous times to get in contact with owners was impossible and even hotel.com couldn’t get in contact We set off to the property to see if we could speak to anybody, and we spoke to a woman who managed to get the codes for us Great room, great bath Just to service was terrible and the staff wasn’t that helpful

A little gem to visit

Little mix up on the bed numbers, but can't blame the hotel as we booked through Hotel.com. Beautiful room, exceptionally clean, the most divine little touches. Fantastic breakfast and great communication from the manager, who allowed us to rescue the bed situation. I would recommend this hotel, set in beautiful surroundings.
