Very disappointing in view of the price
Pros:

Bedroom ok

Cons:

Nobody on reception on our arrival.
No plug in bathroom sink.
Kettle lid broken (the hinge bit had broken off), and evidently just left.
Shower head didn't fit anywhere.
No parking.
Food poor.
General impression, the place is run on a minimum cost basis, with poor quality control.

Nice welcome but room 13 was very poor state
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room 13 was very worn out, holes in the wall presumably where fittings had been pulled out, needed redecorating at the least, bathroom was functional but mould and mildew on the grout etc. Accept it’s an old building but not an excuse for that state of decoration in bedroom and en-suite

Convenient and comfortable stay, but the hotel needs a makeover to bring it to life.
Pros:

Great location, room 10 had views of the fells in the distance

Cons:

Felt a bit tired and I had pigeons join me in the room as they like coming in through the open windows.

OK, but overpriced.
Pros:

Friendly staff, good housekeeping.

Cons:

Whole place felt shabby. Lights didn’t work on upper landing. Both taps in bathroom delivered lukewarm warm water, not hot and cold.

Bring an eye m-
Pros:

Breakfast was great

Cons:

Bathroom window only had a net curtain which was inadequate for privacy at night
