Zurück von Nordirland und Irland, weiter zum Lake District
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut, ebenso das Abendessen.
Das Motorrad konnte ich hinter dem Haus parkieren, so war es einwenig geschützt vor fremden Blicken.
Das Abendessen konnte ich auch direkt im Hotel nehmen, so musste ich nicht mehr raus. War ein hässlicher Regentag. (Einer der wenigen.)

Cons:

Wenig Möglichkeiten was im Einzelzimmer aufzuhängen.

Disappointed with room especially for the money charged.
Pros:

It was close to town center

Cons:

Room 3 in windy ridge was run down. Chipped and stained skirting boards, grubby walls. Also ensuite was more a wash room with toilet sink and shower. Even hours after having shower, the whole bathroom area was still soaking. Got feet and trousers wet every time we wanted to use toilet. Blinds were difficult to close, tv was hard to work and the shower took forever to heat up and kept going freezing cold. Have stayed in room 5 before which was amazing. Room 3 was a let down.
