A lovely stay in a delightful place
Pros:

The room was spacious and really comfortable
The breakfast was excellent - a good selection and perfectly cooked.
The dinners were also very good
The hotel is near some great walks, and the local bus service connects to lots of buses to other areas in the Lake District

很吵,房间很闷,我整宿无法入睡。
Pros:

宠物友好。

Cons:

整晚根本无法入睡!房间晚上空气很闷。打扫也不是很干净。我无法给这一次的酒店打超过一分的评价。我一晚没睡!厕所水管响了一晚上。早上起来给酒店服务员打电话,被一句:这房子很老他们也无法解决打发了。虽然之后经理态度诚恳。但我整晚根本无法入睡。而且隔壁只要有人拖着行李走动。声音就很明显。早饭也很不满意,我因为有狗狗无法很方便取餐。我点了熏肉+番茄。当我看着菜单跟服务员说我还想要炒蛋的时候,服务员一脸不屑的看着我说?你还要另一份早餐… 我只是想再要一份炒蛋而已。
