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.
Hazel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Andrew, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Mediocre

Nice location (quite remote and quiet) and friendly staff. Some gaps in the breakfast service, e.g. lacking glasses, plates etc. And the breakfast ended already at 9 which was very early for me. The condition of the hotel was quite worn-out and occasionally dirty, there were several spiderwebs and spiders in the hallway and the smell of our room was musty.

Stopover

Nice old worlde hotel . Beautiful location . Easy check in . First room smelt of stale smoke so was promptly moved . Cold shower and when I mentioned this I was told maintenance were working on it . A warning might of staved off the shivers . Booked dinner sadly that was cold and when I mentioned that there was no solution . Great choice for breakfast but sadly that was also cold
Debra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Standards have dropped

Used the hotel as a stop over for travelling north. Have stayed before but in all honesty feel like it’s not as good as the last few times we have stayed. Dirty towels and not so clean room. Breakfast wasn’t up to its usual standard. But there were two coach loads in so maybe they were stretched.

Lovely old building in beautiful surroundings

Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Good, large portion meals. Beautiful river and red squirrels. Some hiccups with staff and systems, needs a good manager!

6/10 Good

Mediocre with potential

This place has the potential but is tired. For some reason I was given an accessible room on the ground floor (not sure what happened to the “garden view”? But having been on the road I wasn’t going to argue .The room felt cold and the decor seemed tired. The bed was ok and I managed to get through the night. Disappointed to find they stopped serving food when I arrived and I was sent to Shap but there was nothing appealing. Breakfast was self serve buffet. Note the turkey bacon.

Impressive Layout -full of Character- & So Quiet..

It’s Lovely venue, we arrived late due to traffic congestion on M6 , (think the Hotel Sign just off the Motorway -should direct via the A6 it’s a much better road-than the very rough track -a nightmare from B road- Sat Nav Directions-!,). Breakfast was lovely, Bed Comfort excellent - as we arrived late I was concerned we might wake others as floor boards in room were creaky, we were not at the Hotel but a few hours but very impressed with the place and over the top .helpful day manager and Staff (on 2nd if August)if we venture North again we will certainly stay again -hopefully longer next time-. Feeling of a taste of Luxury, With impressive surroundings and Friendly Helpful -staff . In fact everyone we met were relaxed and commented about the historical side -other people passing through- ‘it has character’, Well Established .

Very remote location. Hotel was a little tired but the room was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Large car park and good WiFi. Would recommend.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

Lovely hotel

Great stay, lovely art deco features and a red squirrel wood just a few minutes from reception.

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

Lovely 'ArtDeco' hidden gem off the M6. Old quaint place that looks like a set off Hercule Poirot. Dining room is like being on the Titanic ! Lovely staff and great breakfast. Enjoyed our stay.
Keith, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
