Grear Location. Easy whatsapp check in. Clean room, great bathroom. Also we left some items in the room. Quick whatsapp msg and within minutes confirmed they had the items in a safe place for us to collect. Will stay again.

8/10 Very good

Exactly what we needed for a couple days away. The downsides being the provided toilet paper was useless and heated towel rail didn’t seem to work. On the positive side, bed was super comfy, shower was nice and hot, great after a hike. Complimentary breakfast was very simple but also a surprise to us, better than nothing. The room as a whole was a decent size, clean and just what we were looking for

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely room with everything you need for a short stay. Very comfortable bed and good night’s sleep. Great bathroom with bath and shower. Self service light breakfast with enough basic options to start the day. Tea and coffee in room but Coffee and hot chocolate available at the breakfast hub at other times for just £1.20 (Contactless). No reception, all self service check in by What’s App and car parking registration needed but helpful staff around the premises to help with questions. Convenient location easy walk to Ambleside and bus stops outside. Will return!
