Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is excellent for exploring nearby villages and enjoying walks in the grounds. It is centrally located for visiting the Lakes, the west coast, and the Settle/Carlisle railway. Despite a few drawbacks with room refurbishment and hot water issues, the overall experience was positive with attentive service and a variety of dining options.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The suite room was fabulous - spacious, very quiet, and offered superb views, although the mattress was a bit too soft for my liking, affecting my sleep quality. The cleanliness was impeccable throughout the hotel, including the lounge, bar, and dining room. The food was top-notch with an excellent variety to choose from.
The hotel was not particularly good value for money at £125, and I wouldn't stay again unless it was a special occasion like a wedding. The room was the only one available in the main house, but it was not serviced for the two days and breakfast wasn't provided the morning after.
