an amazing, elegant stay!

large room armchair area fresh breakfast
We booked into the bassenthwaite suite for one night over the weekend. the room itself is large and even included a day bed and an armchair area. the room had everything we needed, including a fridge with bottled water. breakfast was delicious and of very good quality. It was all cooked fresh to order.
the lady of the place could have been a tad less inquisitive about how much her customers could eat and where they went for dinner. this was a small room with hardly any space to move around. i stayed in the buttermere suite first floor.

I found the room very clean. It had all amenities I needed. Breakfast was superb and set me up well for the day.
My room felt cramped. Some furniture was too big for the space. The television was mounted too high on the wall.
