Very pleasant staff. Beautiful furnishing and fittings not fully utilised. Very disorganised. No one at reception because they are in the dining room. Room was tired but functional. Lovely setting. Such potential.

Great for an overnight stay

This is a great hotel for an overnight stay.Our room was a little cramped and the decor was looking a bit tiredbut it was clean and comfortable. We booked our breakfast slot after the coach parties and there was not a lot left to eat. Check-in was excellent but staff could have been more attentive at breakfast time.

Wonderful.

We love this hotel. The staff can’t do enough for you. The setting of the hotel is wonderful with many walks and the red squirrel sanctuary. The hotel is spotlessly clean. We will definitely go again.

Very good service, room comfortable with a lovely Lounge and Bar with beautiful fittings and decor. An amazing lift and great ambience in the Dining Room. A delicious dinner and breakfast. A stunning after dinner walk in picturesque surroundings. Could do with an advertising board nearer the M6 as you are such a hidden gem!

the hotel was slightly dated, we were not ware that having a dog meant we we were not in the main hotel and we had to then dine separately meaning we were the only diners in that area so a little disappointing

Stayed on numerous occasions as is just a lovely quiet getaway. Do need your own transport if you want to get about and see towns and villages around the area. Staff amazing as always and make you feel right at home. Hotel is dated if a little shabby but this is the charm and character of the place. Surrounding grounds are perfect for just relaxing and watching the red squirrels and a variety of birds. The breakfast is great and evening meal offers plenty of choice.

Great hotel rooms were large and everything we needed. Super value for money. The staff were amazing considering it was Easter and how busy they were, still managed to smile and make time for us. Would highly recommend to stay there as more than reasonable and near the Lakes and The Dales .. will definitely return… thank you guys
