Walked into a straight out of the spa, way too busy to use, too many people, not relaxing. People smoking at the entrance of a spa hotel was not a good item and should be stopped or moved from the entrance. Remainder of the hotel services were good.

Concerning that there were NO pillow protectors or a mattress protector on the bed. Carpet was stained and shabby, wouldn't want to walk barefoot on it! Fabulous location, how could it not be, you're in the Lake District!! Lack of professionalism, unwelcome check-in. All a bit substandard. Would not return to this hotel. Breakfast okay but not great.
