"Fantastic! What a beautiful setting. We were the first time try the autumn menu, the food is excellent, different menu (not pie chips and gravy). Interesting starters (seared scallops), perfectly cooked Rump steak, the pork belly and crackling with apple sauce and crackling, cooked tp perfect...not to mention the roast potatoes. We were treated like VIP guests. Professional and friendly staff, shout out to Katy. Our room was available 2 hours before, which came as a bonus after a 6 hour journey. Sterling service all round. Will definitely be going back. Beautiful views of Gretna Green across the sea. 11/10."

"Really nice staff. Peter was especially helpful putting something I’d left on one side until I could return and pick it up. The hotel is pretty big running along several Georgian houses. The room was very large and very well modernised As a hotel they don’t serve breakfast but that’s not an issue as several nearby places do. It’s located on a lovely spot - probably the best area to see Cockermouth . I’d thoroughly recommend it"
