Really like this place, we stayed elsewhere earlier in the year, wish we hadn’t. The management & staff were all very approachable and welcoming. Great fresh food of an evening and breakfast offering good too. All you need in the room BUT Pillows may need attention, (that’s not a negative just preference) Will be heading back soon

Lovely inn, friendly staff and comfy bed

Greeted by a cheerful and friendly member of staff. Booked in and showed to our room, called the Collie room. A lovely picture of a collie dog on the wall and two collie dog mugs in the room. Cosy room with comfy bed. The only minor drawback was that there was no bedside lights which was slightly awkward for reading

Easy access for the Lakes

I stayed here a few years ago and it was good then. The upgrade to the hotel is fabulous. Mid afternoon arrival, everything in the room was new or spotless. The addt charge for breakfast was good value. The staff especially Jordan were very helpful.

Disappointing breakfast and room.

Staying one night meeting with family. Room was small, nowhere to put a suitcase, no charger in bathroom for toothbrushes of shaver. Meal was more expensive than on website menu. Booked through Hotels.com and described as bed and breakfast, When we arrived breakfast was described as Continental. Cereals, tea, coffee, toast and small shop dry pastries. Told there was yoghurts in fridge, actually 2 only there. Breakfast was from 6am but no staff until 8am, you had to make breakfast yourself. Really disappointed as location is lovely.
