Important information:

For the comfort of other diners, the hotel requests that children under 5 years do not dine in the restaurant in the evening.

Please be aware that if the main hotel is fully booked, a room will be reserved for you in Rillside Lodge which is located in the same grounds. The Lodge is located just 50 yards from the main hotel reception with its own private parking and can be accessed via the hotel gardens on foot or via the road running alongside the hotel by car. The only difference between the lodge and the hotel is that guests come across to the hotel for meals.

Only 2 rooms are suitable for wheelchair access or for those with mobility issues. To confirm a suitable room, please contact Booking.com Customer Service prior to booking.

Please be aware that it may not always be possible to accommodate you in the same bedroom if you have reserved multiple nights and therefore a room move may be unavoidable. If you have any queries regarding potential room moves, please contact Booking.com customer service.

Please note that this property operates a strict no smoking policy.

The property was beautifully kept, very modern and comfortable, our room and bathroom were large and it came with Molten Brown toiletries which were an extra bit of luxury! The restaurant was fabulous with lovely views, the staff were wonderfully friendly and the food was outstanding! We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel and were very impressed with the quality of the food and choices. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

We would visit again just for one night and choose a room with a better view.
Pros:

The restaurant overlooked lake Grasmere and the fells. A shepherd was herding his sheep as we ate breakfast.
The lounge was bright, comfy and very modern

Cons:

We booked the cheapest room with a view of a skip and a load of rubbish. Glad it was only for one night.
