Lovely

We have just returned from a lovely stay in the lakes, problem with room on arrival but was sorted straight away. Breakfast was good and lady serving breakfast was lovely made sure you left full. Hotel was closing for 6 weeks to do some renovation and updating which is good overall would stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and friendly love the loo....

I had to ring to find out room number but was fine after that rather small room but well decorated and handy plugs and a light thing, charger which didn't work. I loved the Japanese loo thing. And fab bathroom. Great welcome at breakfast, quick and professional.
Nick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stylish

Room was not very big, but stylish and with facilities such as wireless chargers, multi-colored led lights, shower toilet etc. Breakfast options were a bit limited, but service has great. Only issue was the traffic outside which was quite noisy, combined with heat forcing us to keep windows.
Iver, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A trip of two halves.

We booked for 4 nights but had to change rooms after the 2nd night. The mattress in room 5 was stained and smelly. The room had a beam across the bed (with lots of wires behind it!) and we both banged our head on the beam. Not sure why such a small room had a three seater sofa in it. The new room, room 10, was much nicer and fresher. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great stopover accomodation. Loved the place

On arrival to the big yellow house you have mixed feelings but dont listen to them. The house is 200 years old and a little dark inside keep going. First check out the room to find any dist there isnt any. Check the loo and shower... spotless. Give yourself 30 mins to settle in and you will love the place. Yes it could of been painted white inside but it was painted for charactor. Go stay a night its a great place. Breakfast also gets a 10 for food and service. Well done and thank you
