First time returning, as clean and comfortable as when I was a gym/spa member 25+ years ago
Pros:

Staff on front desk and the the spa reception.
Common areas were very clean and comfortable.
Bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

Parking charge.
At well over £100 per night for accommodation, it is surprising that the hotel`s onsite car park that surrounds the hotel, charges guests £10 a night for parking. It was explained apologetically that parking is managed by a 3rd party, however, the Hotel ownership decides how it should be managed and by who, and this policy reflects negatively on them as owners.
Also the available parking at the rear of the hotel is perilous, being on a handbrake testing hill side.

Nice location, friendly staff, breakfast and meal in the bar was good, and pleasant stay
Pros:

Good location! Pricy having to park and pay as well as paying for our dog, Daisy to stay. The room was ok! Very hot
Bathroom extremely small - I stubbed my toe trying to go into the bathroom on the bath, so not great. Breakfast was good and nice pool and spa which I used both days after a fall on the fells. Hotel is very dated and could do with a freshen up but on the whole a pleasant stay

Cons:

Mega small bathroom, having to pay so much for parking and having to pay for my dog to stay

A really lovely 3 star hotel at a fair price
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great, a short walk from everything with plenty of parking. The breakfast was good and always plenty of staff around. Big room, comfy bed. We had no problem with the temperature in the room but our stay wasn't during the worst of the heatwave.

Cons:

While the sink, shower, towels etc were all sparkling clean, the bathroom could do with a more thorough clean in the corners, behind the door etc.

Pretty town and nice place to stay.
Pros:

The sauna/spa/steam room was awesome, the location was good and the decor was lovely.

Cons:

Breakfast was included, but the buffet was very limited (esp for a vegetarian) and needing to make a time to go to the dining room was weird: espy as it was to ‘avoid queues’ but there were no queues.

Served a purpose for the location but impersonal
Pros:

bedroom was fine

Cons:

Very hard pillows. Caused my son to have a bad neck for a few days
Exhorbitant charge of £35 for the dog AND £10 for parking Next night we were ccharged £10 for the dog and free parking The extra charges left a vew bad impression and I would not recommend the jotel for these reasons

Pros:

Staff were friendly and nice.

Cons:

The room and facilities are aged and need a refurbishment.
Breakfast was terrible, not much choice, not adequately cooked.
Nearly every table in the breakfast dining area was full of dishes not cleaned up by staff.
Had an evening meal in the Restaurant and had to send the meal back as was not cooked properly and wasn't cheap.

Fantastic. Will definitely stay again.
Pros:

Traditional but grand feel, the lovely staff, the size of the rooms, tea and coffee in rooms, blackout curtains, towels provided at swimming, great pool/sauna and steam. Location is amazing. Good price to park car. Loft to the room.

Cons:

N/a (bed was firmer than I like but most people like firmer so can't look to mark it as a negative)
