Lovely place to stay. The staff were very welcoming, offering advice about the area. Breakfast was delivered to my room (suite 6) and was delicious. There was plenty of choice including gluten free. Definitely stay here again when I come back to the Lakes in the future
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Very clean and cozy, comfortable shower. However be aware the house is not very soundproof, and if you stay on the ground floor there will be noise during breakfast time. The breakfast was okay but certain items are not great, we chose to eat out after the first day stay.

Room was beautifully decorated, and very clean. Staff super friendly. Bathroom needed an update with rust in bath and tiles falling off, plus very compact and you couldn't open door fully due to sink behind it.
