Lovely romantic break
Pros:

We stayed here after our wedding in the Lake District and had a wonderful time.

Breakfast is great and staff are so friendly.

The bath in the lovely suites is great and the addition of sky tv and ability to cast onto the tv meant we could spend lazy evenings in our room.

Hospedagem ok, mas nao especial
Pros:

Quarto confortavel,silencioso, estacionamento muito bom,

Cons:

cafe da manha a la carte muito burocratico, me sentei alguns dias no terraco e so no ultimo dia perguntaram se queria uma almofada. Pouca boa vontade na recepcao para fazer uma reserva de restaurante, achei o servico bem indiferente

Cons:

Quite simply this didn't hit the mark for me....for a 4* hotel the bar is nothing short of a disaster.....beer out of a tin is simply not what you want or expect..... certainly not at £7 plus a tin.
Also ...I know it's dog friendly but there are dog hairs all over the lounge and whilst we were there you were almost tripping over them..... unfortunately not the experience I was looking for

A little gem in Ambleside
Pros:

Excellent breakfast with outstanding service from Alistair. The rooms were quiet and the decor was of a high standard. Beds and pillows were very comfortable and the air con was very welcome! Nicely stocked mini bar as well as tea and coffee facilities. Excellent location with close proximity to Ambleside - 5min walk. There were some helpful walk suggestions (nicely illustrated) in the room as well.

Cons:

Housekeeping was inconsistent - toiletries were lovely but the extras such as cotton pads/shower cap etc were missing and not replenished if they were there. Bed making was also a bit untidy. Rooms were a little hot in August but thankfully our room had air con, not all rooms do though
