Very Disappointing Dining

We booked this hotel for our wedding anniversary and as we love fine dining this hotel seemed a great choice as it has a restaurant with 2 AA rosettes. We received an email confirmation of our booking for the one night with the email saying we had a table booked in the fine dining restaurant at 7pm the Arboreal. When we arrived we were told we would now be dining in the grill bar as the Arboreal restaurant was closed on Sunday. The menu in the grill bar was awful and so was our food. We were very disappointed as this marred a special evening .

Stunning - a beautiful place.

The Tennyson Room (Room 5) was beautiful. The view was stunning, there were no irritations (wonky toilet seats, blown light bulbs, badly scratched paintwork etc.) at all. The receptionist was a great guy - good for a laugh and engaging. Breakfast excellent. Believe me - we are coming back it was superb. I have no connections with this place at all. It was so much better than the top of the range place we stayed at in Anglesey 2 weeks ago and cost £70 less. Thank you.

A delightful Inn overlooking the lake. We were assigned a lake view room which was very comfortable (#3, Brontë). The staff was helpful and friendly. They were also attending to a small wedding, but we felt valued and welcome.

A beautiful period property in an isolated area but not inconvenient place to drive into . It gives you an exclusive feelings with two lounges with relaxing music . Our twin room was pretty and had a comfortable neutral colour scheme . We ordered a room service and the snacks we had were excellent . The room is a bit small and sound proof is not great. But it was a fantastic place to stay regardless .

How to spoil a wedding anniversary stay

Nice hotel Food awful service non existent 6 dishes on menu 4 containing cheese so options were burger without cheese or fish and chips.tried to book a meal at 5.30 to be told 7.45 was the earliest they could serve as they were busy. IE 2 couples in a restaurant that holds approx 24 tables tried to order a sandwich but was told they finished a 6 pm no bar staff had to press buzzer and wait until some one eventually turned up Breakfast a joke 1 sausage 1 small portion of scrambled eggs, and half a potatoes cake £15 ??? If you require anything you have to go around rooms and restaurant to find any staff for assistance My food order came with the wrong food at 7.45 my wife ate hers while it was still warm and eventually my food arrived burger warm with triple x tripke cooked chips hot but had been re cooked so many times they were like crsps

Disappointed stay

Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and style great location overlooking the lake. Room was smelly with what I would say was Cat urine smell. Toilet had skid marks in bottom. We booked into the rest so but as there was a small wedding on menu was a pub grill not what we wanted but food (fish n chips) was lovely. We had a room on the top floor facing the back so it was not what we had in mind.

Our second stay at the merewood, but unfortunately that personal touch / hospitality is not really there anymore. No servicing of rooms (we stayed 4 nights and at least once would have been nice) with no note to explain why in the room or upon checkin, staff didn’t even ask how our stay was on check out - the hotel isn’t cheap! No air con either on a v hot week. Location and views however are stunning, free parking onsite.

Don't hesitate ... just book it ! This is truly a unique place, and was wonderful for the 3 nights we stayed there -- is was like an oasis we returned to each evening. Originally built as a private country residence, it is elegant and stately, with drawing room, library, wonderful bar with lake views, and wide formal staircase. Be sure to book the breakfast option. The dining room is beautiful, with full table cloths and table service, wait service was absolutely excellent. Prices are comparable to what you would pay in town, without the hustle and bustle. Most rooms are on the second floor, and only down side is that there is no elevator, but we seniors did not find that to be a problem. Our room had bay windows with beautiful views of the lake in the distance. All staff were very friendly and helpful. This will be our #1 choice when we are back in the Lake District. Don't think twice, just book it !!

Location was good Property itself , very dated and the porch and reception floor was filthy and the lounge areas dirty .Nobody to receive guests, have to summon by buzzer and wait.Booked a double room for two pf us it was so small that it had one chair squeezed in , no room in the bathroom to put the toiletries etc. Asked if possible to have a bigger room. Told somebody would check. Nobody got back. The water in the shower was always cold to lukewarm ,no matter what setting. Eating in was not attractive as limited menu. The staff at breakfast were friendly , reception staff never greeted or made conversation. Booked it as it was 4 star , was not what I accepted .Will not be returning.
