Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I arrived on a motorcycle with the large carpark to choose from and found a little out of view corner to leave the bike over night and because the hotel appears isolated i wasn't bother about security too much. One enters the hotel through two automatic sliding doors which is a bonus when carrying bags and crash helmets. The first door opens in to a cosy vestibule with seating around a rather modern teardrop shaped lig burner that appears to drip from the ceiling, it would be a wonderful place to sit on cold evening. After signing in by friendly welcoming staff I found my room negotiating my way up the stairs and along the deep pile carpeted corridor to my room.

The property was clean, in a lovely location and the staff welcoming, If I had to comment it would be that there was no hand towels and only 1 drinking glass in the room and the rooms were not sound proof in any way. Saying that we did enjoy our stay, it provided a perfect base for us.

Everything was good until we went down for breakfast. We didn't have much choice (although we went down about 9 am). They didn't have enough staff. Poor lady had to run around to top up the juice or the eggs.

Terrible terrible nights stay.

2 night stay here near the Lake District with my pregnant wife as we drive back from Scotland offered us the following: Bits on the floor at arrival, a very warm room I believe the radiators were on as they felt warm so turned to 0, an unforgiving and rock hard bed and the ability to hear everything the other guests were doing until 2 am including watching tv, talking, turning lights on and off and walking around and to top it off there was an obscenely bright light outside our window which made it so difficult to sleep, of course there was only one member of staff we found in the morning and he was busy with breakfast so we just left as we especially my pregnant wife were never going to attempt another dreadful night there. The staff we did encounter were very pleasant and helpful and we did have a great meal in the evening. Awaiting to see if I get a response from the hotel before I contact hotels.com.
