Rothay Garth
The room was clean and very comfortable. We had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, nothing too much trouble. The breakfast was cooked and presented to a high standard with so much choice.

The Waterhead Inn - The Inn Collection group
The breakfast was superb. We tried the evening menu special which was a Pheasant breast.It wasn't the best I've tasted, it was nicely presented but it was rather salty and dry. The bed mattress provided a good nights sleep and the room was spacious and clean. Well worth the 5 stars
