Great large family room, comfortable and good shower. Food was excellent for evening food and breakfast. Super friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
What a lovely hotel! I love the atmosphere - the way it is decorated is serene, and yet you can still see the age in the building definitely in a very well kept way. Highly recommend this hotel as the service was amazing, the food was very delicious and the rooms were comfortable and clean!
Thank you for a lovely stay!
Great overnight stay.
I had booked a double room for myself and my neice as there was no twin available, but at check in they were able to offer us a twin which was perfect.
Breakfast was absolutely lovely, full English all cooked fresh.
Lovely inn with excellent breakfast and dinner service. Rooms are well appointed and beautifully decorated and the outside seating for afternoon tea or a pint is wonderful. The area is stunning and delightful for a walk. Highly recommend this exceptional inn.
The hotel was near to Helvellyn for our walk, our third visit to this hotel. The staff were all very hardworking and lovely. The meals and choices were very good as were the bar choices. A lovely old building.
Last minute booking but we will definitely return. Cosy seating area, lovely food, friendly staff and an excellent base for walking, particularly Helvellyn.
