Expensive for what it was.
Pros:

Position and clean.

Cons:

The most bland, dated and spartan room.
Although we were told we were upgraded it was a very basic room. Tea/coffee making facilities were good.

Good base to explore the Lake District by bus
Pros:

Good size room with useful lobby are for shoes, etc. Good size bathroom. Good quantity of food available at breakfast. Good swimming pool. Robes provided. Useful parking area by entrance to room. Good location for busses to get around the Lake District.

Cons:

Unfortunate hot water breakdown not fixed for over a week. No hot water on first day. Intermittent subsequently. We understand this was subsequently fixed and we had hot water on our very last day. Housekeeping slightly variable/ inconsistent (day-to-day cleanliness, replenishment of tea/ coffee, changing of towels, etc). Swimming pool changing/ shower areas could be better.

The lakes are lovely and there is a lot to see in the area. I didn’t give the hotel top marks because their menu for eve
Pros:

It was fairly close to Lakeside and in a nice area

Cons:

It was a bit too far to walk to the main lake and town and at the top of a steep hill. Nice walk to the lake edge though but to go into town we had to drive and the car parks were quite expensive. I didn’t see a bus stop so don’t think it was on a route as we would have taken the bus

A disappointment. Disgusting food on offer in the evening.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Location was beautiful.

Cons:

Appalling food for an evening meal. It was slop - I was disgusted and sent it back. I could not believe a restaurant meal could be so awful. Presentation and content were abysmal. They should be ashamed to offer it to anyone. We were tired and hungry at the end of a very long day's driving, and I had booked it as a treat: unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. we were thoroughly disappointed

In addition I had to ask three times for more linen and to have our bathroom radiator looked at. Could still not get it to work.

Friendly hotel not sure it was worth the cost
Pros:

Location was good, staff were helpful and friendly, room was a little tired but had nice clean bed linen and towels changed daily. Tea, biscuits and water refilled every day and breakfast was good.

Cons:

Day 2 and there was a party that went on till early hours and the room we were in was at the front off the stairs so no sound barrier. It may have been better if the room was on the main 1st floor corridor as that had a door between the ground and 1st floor.
