I'd consider this hotel for last-minute bookings or budget-friendly options, but be aware that the rooms may not match the pictures. Unfortunately, our room had stained bed sheets, noticeable cobwebs, and visible signs of spiders in various corners. My daughter was frightened by the spiders and refused to sleep in her bed. I had to remove them myself, which was unpleasant. Additionally, room service isn't available 24/7, closing around 10 PM, so assistance isn't an option late at night. It is 20 somthing minutes drive by car from lake district bational park so if you have children you would consider taking a closer accomodation, I booked two nights but checked out after the first night.

Nice, clean and quiet property. The best part was the breakfast. We were surprised to see that everything was made to order and not a typically buffet morning breakfast. And all of it tasted really good.

MAGALAGE

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It is an Inn/pub with dirty carpets and sticky tables in the dinning area. The food is nothing to write home about and although generous it is tasteless. The rooms are cramped with views to the car park. The room cleaning was good with a clean toilet but the carpets and other surfaces require attention. Not in the best part of town and not somewhere you want to explore. We had some money off since last minute, it really is not worth the full price.

No hot water for shower. When staff was informed, they said they'll fix it, although this only benefit the next guest. No offer of hot shower elsewhere or reduction to bill etc. Disapointing.
