absolute gem in lake district!
ideal location friendly staff delicious breakfast
I was charmed by my stay. the location is ideal. It's just a short walk into the town centre and a quick hop down to the lake. safe parking at the back of the hotel was a great convenience for me. the team, including elouise, tina, laura, and sarah, were friendly. breakfast was delicious and gave me the perfect start to my days exploring.
I did notice the tv in the room wasn't quite visible from the bed. I had to watch it through the banisters.

seating area beautiful furniture ideal location wet flapjack hard bed substandard breakfast
The Woodford room was such a dream. It had a large seating area. Beautiful furniture were all around it. The location is ideal, because it is a short walk to the main streets.
The cake was a sticky and wet flapjack. It was nothing like the standard from previous years. The bed was a rock hard and so very uncomfortable. The hot breakfast was below standard.

Elouisa and all the staff were super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated it. the breakfast offered excellent quality ingredients. i found the large slab of flapjack available on arrival to be a lovely touch. It was yummy!
