Relaxed and comfortable
Pros:

Had been previously just for food .. love the location

Cons:

Two things : the bathroom lighting could be better. Not great for shaving or doing makeup ... really could be better.
The hotel is quite remote in the sense that you are limited to tomorrow for food. I personally decided to delay at the hotel for dinner which is always great food and no complaints. My only issue was that they still charge a 12.5% service fee which I feel should be waived especially for guests staying at the hotel . We ended paying more for our food n drink that we did for the room for 3 nights. Food for thought as they say .

Pros:

Great location, delicious breakfast and comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The water temperature was a bit too cold and pressure was not very powerful. Generally it was great for the price I paid (£150 a night)

Pros:

Why they didn’t get a 10 was a member of staff very brusque at breakfast . We are on holiday we are having a leisurely time we do not need our plates removed as soon as we have finished and not the table . Nor do you need to lay tables whilst we are in the dining room relaxing for the next meal. We are admiring the surroundings, the decor the music of which all was dampened by the cutlery tray .

Out second visit to a beautiful hotel that just needs a bit of TLC
Pros:

Location, decor, staff & evening meal

Cons:

It was tired in places and you could clearly see it had not been maintained as expected for the price per night. Breakfast was poor.

A fantastic stay in a beautiful location. Great for hiking and couples with dogs.
Pros:

Beautiful location. Great for hiking the Wainwrights. Loved the history of the flooded village and the decor of the hotel. Would definitely stay again! Lovely food and dog friendly with amazing views from the restaurants.

Cons:

Was a little out of the way for some and down some narrow roads but that's the type of hotel we love!

Stylish art deco hotel in an impressive setting
Pros:

The setting and decor is amazing! Wonderful playlist in keeping with the art deco. There is a very nice elevated garden with superb views of the lake. Breakfast was very good with wide choice and restaurant meals too!

Cons:

The bath is an odd shape to climb into and out in spite of having a grab rail and the shower flow was weak

A wonderful stopover with an unexpected twist
Pros:

We love the 1930s cozy grandeur, the glorious sense of isolation after a long motorway journey, the stunning views and most of all the atmosphere.

Cons:

A child of about 7 called out to us about 1am telling us clearly to “Stop it!” as we were talking and laughing after a lovely meal and drinks in the bar. We were mortified thinking we had woken a family next door and stopped talking immediately. We went to bed and fell asleep and the next morning at check out we apologised to the receptionist for being nosy and asked her to pass on our sentiments to the parents of the young child next door if they hadn’t checked out yet. She informed us that there were no children staying in the hotel that night. To be honest this experience doesn’t bother us, we were a bit discombobulated to learn we had heard a ghostly voice - neither of us have ever experienced anything like this before (it was so “ordinary” when it occurred) but we’ll still be back. It’s just that this is the space to tell the tale.
