The facility is a beautiful historic building with picturesque grounds. Unfortunately we were only there for 1 day. Food and wine were terrific and the very busy owners helped us with some very silly requests to operate the radiator and find global news on the TV. I highly recommend this fine hotel!

This is a lovely hotel, with beautiful spacious grounds . The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are all very helpful. It's in a good location close to the village, the only thing I'd say could be improved is the night food , it's basic pub grub ....the breakfast is fine though .

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Needs a refurbishment throughout, but primarily in the bedrooms. Food was okay, but very typical managed house fayre - nothing exciting, but everything edible. Friday night in May at £165 felt relatively poor value. Breakfast is served under hot plates buffet style and is not replenished frequently.

Room was clean and a good size, over the bath shower. Lakeside view was lovely. Peaceful stay in a quiet hotel. Breakfasts were hearty, fresh and locally sourced Cumberland sausages. Sunday roast good but the deserts were a disappointment. Overall happy we will be back to stay again
