Room 31 was clean and tidy, but the shower was too hot, and a leaking tap. The room we were moved to (127) was also very clean and tidy. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hot tub/jaccuzi could have been warmer. When we went in it was not very warm.

Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fantastic location, staff were exceptional - especially given they were dealing with a very large group booking. Free Spa / Pool area is good and great after a long walk in the fells. Some areas of the hotel need a little TLC for the 4* rating.
Darren, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing space in family rooms, especially with teenagers. Facilities and food were great too.
Kirsteen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms are a good size but remember this is a traditional hotel so there is lots of old wood and floral curtains. The pool is a good size with Jacuzzi. Food is ok but cheap so you get what you pay for. Breakfast was ok but could be better. The staff are very friendly especially the chap with the tattoos but they are over stretched. The chap with the shirt on is very grumpy.
Duncan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in a very spacious family room on the top floor which was great , it was lovely & clean with comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly. The pool was great for the teenagers and a nice little spa area. The hotel does look old fashioned and needs a revamp but with that said I can see some areas have been updated and overall it doesn’t effect having a good stay here!
Victoria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was very dated, although we had a nice view. Food wasn't the best in the evening. Breakfast was nice but limited choice.
