A PEACEFUL Getaway
beautiful building good place great breakfast helpful staff
the building's history is apparent and admirable. Gardens do feature some overgrown areas. After a discussion with the owners, I am looking forward to my next visit. Breakfast provided an EXCELLENT start to each day.
i noticed one minor thing, a full-length mirror in the room would improve the experience SLIGHTLY.

The room was clean and recently updated. The bathroom looked well-kept. The shower had unexpectedly powerful water pressure. I found this particularly excellent considering the age of the structure, and it was an excellent feature.

serene stay
walking trails splendid breakfast
access to walking trails was convenient. stepping stones and gardens allowed for effortless exploration of the lakes district. the breakfast was splendid and gave us a good start to our day.
lighting at night was nonexistent if walking back to the hotel, a taxi was needed. the darkness made walking back unsafe, so plan accordingly.

very good breakfast lovely garden convenient bus
Breakfast was first class! I enjoyed sitting in the garden during the evening. The bus stop is only five minutes away! It goes to Keswick, Kendal, Bowness on Windermere, and the pier, which let us park the car for our whole stay.
The decor is a little tired in the public areas! It was not a big deal for me!
