The hotel is located in an idyllic Lakeland beauty spot, perfect for peace, quiet, and walking. The rooms need some redecoration and updating, but the friendly staff and great service make up for it. The dining experience offers character and homemade dishes, while the facilities are decent overall. The price is reasonable for the value provided.

Our room, the Martindale, was on the small side and could use some updating. The placement near the large kitchen extractor was a bit noisy in the mornings.

The hotel's location in the idyllic Lakeland beauty spot was exactly where we wanted to be – away from the main A66 but close enough to visit all the lakes easily.

The bistro dining experience was a mix – the characterful homecooked breakfast was superbly made to order, but other meals fell short of expectations.

The hotel is excellently situated, surrounded by delightful gardens and close to the North Lakes for easy exploration. The rooms, though cozy, are newly decorated and pleasant, making them perfect for a family holiday. The service was impeccable, especially during our visit before a night out at the Keswick theatre. The dining options, while varied, had some dishes that missed the mark. Overall, a charming location with up to par standards for a relaxing stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was stunning with beautiful views of the Lake District and close proximity to walking trails. The service was friendly and welcoming, but some noise from the nearby kitchen and extractor fan affected the room quality. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
