I liked the location and the garden. The rooms are in need of updating and they were not cleaned during our stay. The television worked on the first day only. The toilet flush needed attention.

Very DIRTY, unpleasant, tired, old Hotel. Staff was kind and pleasant. So terribly disappointed in the condition of this hotel. Rooms were very dirty, dumpy, not well appointed and in dire need of repairs, paint, and attention. The only reason I did not give one star is because the hotel staff (Howard, Sue, and Paul) were delightful and gave wonderful custom service. The staff is doing the best they can with what they had to work with. Our bed was so uncomfortable and the sheets looked dirty. Housekeeping never changed our sheets, nor gave us toilet paper or towels. Just gross. We can say, the hotel courtyard garden is beautiful, but everything else wasn’t good. Breakfast and cleanliness in dining area was even questionable. We got free breakfast cause the hotel had “boiler issues”, but I don’t recommend the breakfast either. It has parking which is hard to come by in Lake District I’ve been told, but parking is not worth staying at an old dirty hotel. Sadly, its past its prime.

Disappointing
We booked a superior room and they gave us a classic (downgrade) we were too tired to make a fuss the night we arrived. Complained in the morning to be fair they refunded us the difference. The man on reception was a brilliant lovely man polite and helpful. The lady who was looking after breakfast did an amazing job in difficult circumstances. Some of the breakfast was missing as theyd been locked out of the store cupboard. It wasnt a particularly nice breakfast. The hotel was very run down. Which was a shame as lovely building lovely gardens. The grout in the bathroom was black round the taps were slimy. Carpets werent nice. Walls were plastered in places and not painted. The doors were chipped. Not good. I understand that covid knocked the hotel trade but the hotel was nothing like advertised. Felt sorry for the staff who were great

We cancelled our reservation upon arrival. The furniture is old and filthy. The bed was broken. The room felt cold and institutional. Property is old and not very well kept. Photos are very misleading.

Though we came pretty late to the property, we had staff to take care of our check in etc. And also morning breakfast was very good, and the staff were very nice and friendly. Overnight my friend had to work in lobby area for his work, and staff made sure that he was comfortable there.

Nice gardens and communal areas (bar, reception hall etc) were fine but my room was very dated and on a slant. The shower was difficult to work and made a very loud noise when on. Everything creeks and wallpaper peeling, hole in ceiling, most of the tv channels didn’t work. However, bed and towels were clean and I had a good stay for a no frills accommodation. Could be a beautiful hotel with some investment.

Location was ideal and grounds were lovely with good views from the garden, however the building was very dated and poorly maintained. The interior was old and in need of decoration. My room was just about adequate but once again needs updating and decorating. The bathroom needs modernising, floor tiles were cracked, tiling around the toilet was cracking. Mattress was poor and not very comfortable. The door furniture needs updating. Generally the room and the parts of the hotel I viewed looked unmaintained. The staff on duty were ok.
Damaged tiles
Old and badly fitted door latches
Needs painting
Dated coloured bath & sink with newer white toilet with cheap plastic seat
