Stayed 18th April, four of us girls, and it was just the perfect place after a full day hiking.
The room was spacious, clean, and had nice little touches, biscuits, water, milk, which made a difference. Beds were really comfy, exactly what you need after a long walk.
The spa was spot on, swim, sauna, jacuzzi, just what we needed to relax.
Great value as all four of us could stay in one room, which made it more fun and easy.
Staff couldn’t do enough for us, really welcoming and helpful throughout.
Outside area was lovely too, perfect for sitting out and catching a bit of sun.
Would definitely stay again.
We were very pleased with our stay.
There is a lot of renovation work going on but the hotel is still functioning well.
Maybe a couple of the staff on reception could be better trained on check in and check out etticet.
Overall good stay

The staff here are the stars of this hotel, incredibly friendly and will go out of their way to assist.
Renovation work is ongoing whilst we were there but it didn’t disrupt a great few nights. Warming welcome that never dimmed
I don't want to tell people how good this place really is because I want to go back and don't want the price to go up.
It's a great hotel, great facilities but what amazes me is it feels nicer and friendlier than the armathwaite next door.
The staff are hotel professionals, Its nice to be addressed as sir by staff in proper uniform with ties. They do this while remaining friendly and never stuffy. Nothing is too much hassle.
The food's brilliant. Good quality and good portion sizes. Pool's nice, gardens are nice, the silence is nice.
If you go though, shhhh, don't tell anyone it's good

Room 31 was clean and tidy, but the shower was too hot, and a leaking tap. The room we were moved to (127) was also very clean and tidy. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hot tub/jaccuzi could have been warmer. When we went in it was not very warm.
I was quite surprised how beautiful the place was, our room was very spacious and comfortable. I was very happy with the two 50 inch TV. The bathroom was clean and tidy. The kids were very happy with our time there.

Sorry but didn't enjoy this stay as the room was cold and situated in some strange converted building behind the main hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful, firstly putting the heating on and then bringing an additional plug in heater, we did not enjoy the room it was too cold, had a roller blind which we had closed permanently due to ground floor location, so overall was very disappointed.

We stayed in a very spacious family room on the top floor which was great , it was lovely & clean with comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly. The pool was great for the teenagers and a nice little spa area.
The hotel does look old fashioned and needs a revamp but with that said I can see some areas have been updated and overall it doesn’t effect having a good stay here!
We have stayed here before and returned as it is a wonderful location and the facilities are excellent. The hotel is under renovation but didn't affect our stay at all
The rooms are a good size but remember this is a traditional hotel so there is lots of old wood and floral curtains. The pool is a good size with Jacuzzi. Food is ok but cheap so you get what you pay for. Breakfast was ok but could be better. The staff are very friendly especially the chap with the tattoos but they are over stretched. The chap with the shirt on is very grumpy.
