Perfekt für einen Zwischenstopp
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Das Restaurant bietet gute englische Küche an. Die schöne Gartenanlage bis hinunter zum Fluss hat uns auch gefallen. Alles in allem ist es ein sehr preiswertes Hotel.

Excellent Service
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The customer service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—especially Mitchell, who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

The room was spacious, with a super-king bed that was exceptionally comfortable, making for a wonderful night’s sleep.

The hotel also has beautiful grounds, with a lovely river nearby, creating such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

This hotel is truly a hidden gem, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable stay, beautiful surroundings, and outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be returning! 🌿✨

Cons:

Steps but it's a listed building so there's nothing they can do about it

Perfect
Pros:

The location was excellent for Scafell Pike and the Emerald Pools. Food was 10/10. Staff were literally platinum. It was exceptionally clean.

Cons:

We originally had a room in the barn with a green emergency exit light that would not turn off and I would not have slept if the very kind night staff hadn’t have moved my daughter and I to the main hotel. Sleep was 10/10 after we moved rooms.

The best kept secret!!!
Pros:

This hotel was just exceptional, everything was just perfection. The location stunning, the hotel itself was in beautiful surroundings. The hotel was beautiful like a medieval palace, set within a walled garden with esplanaded fig trees. The furnishings were first class, spotless clean and very, very special. The bedrooms were just majestic. One felt very palatial staying here. The staff were so accomodating, friendly and gave exceptional service. The food was first class, the best roast lamb fillet I have ever tasted, the presentation was incredible.
The whole ambience of this hotel was outstanding.

Cons:

Nothing at all. It was all exceptional.
