Wonderful Stay with Amazing Views!

spacious room convenient parking easy stroll
The room was spacious. It included a fridge in the living area. Parking outside the building made arrival simple. Walking into the center was an easy stroll. I appreciated that.
The absence of on-site breakfast was just a minor inconvenience.

Freda and Ray's Cafe is a short walk away. I enjoyed the best flat white there. A tasty breakfast is available at Freda and Ray's. I highly recommend the place. The Jumble Room restaurant is within walking distance.

The hotel offered gorgeous views on either side. I enjoyed the scenery. The location is excellent with short walks to pubs and the town. Amazing walks through the fells start close to the hotel, so I could explore easily.
