Great location, lovely staff - eat out and use as a base!
Pros:

The location to travel around the lakes! The leisure facilities are just like the pictures and bathroom was great!

Cons:

The hotel was BOILING! The fan was so small and the window opened a little. The food is quite overpriced and salty… I mean there was salt on my broccoli. The swimming pool is NOT heated!

An extremely stressful and disappointing start to our much needed relaxation break!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I booked a standard double room - it was very small and the walls were marked and the paint was chipped. I requested a change of room; the next ‘extremely small’ double had stains on the scatter cushions and the lamp shades - I was not comfortable. I asked to change rooms again, we were shown a superior room which is bigger, and brighter - this appeared okay. The bathroom drainage was an issue with both the sink and bath being very slow to drain. The pictures advertised on booking.com are not true to life and are false advertising. The hotel as a whole needs a lot of attention and care. I pool as far as we could see but a lot of work going on around the back of the hotel. The breakfast was also very poor quality.

Lovely Lake District Retreat
Pros:

I loved the exposed beams and large cosy rooms and the front of house staff were exceptional. It was a lovely night stay. Breakfast I had eggs Benedict and it was amazing! Hollandaise sauce was spot on!

Cons:

I had to get out of my shower early as it started flooding due to a blocked drain. I have informed staff of this minor issues.

Great base to stay providing good value if visiting Cartmel races
Pros:

Free car parking, colour scheme. The lady on reception worked so hard and was so friendly and helpful. She was a one woman show. The kettle wasn’t working and she sorted it out straight away. Quiet rooms - you could not hear any of the other patrons. The pool was open even though the website said that it wasn’t.

Cons:

The pillows were not comfortable. The room was really hot even with a fan (this was rather small for the room). We were not keen on a soap bar being for both hair and body. The dining room for breakfast is small meaning that you had to give an exact time that you would dine and then you were seated at a table rather than being able to choose where to sit.
