The free parking behind the building was really convenient for my rental car. The location was also great. The town center was just a short walk. Breakfast offered both continental and Cumbrian fried options, which I found to be a good variety. They upgraded my room. It was appreciated.
My room was a bit old fashioned for my liking. I also only received one plastic bottle of water. Other water I needed I had to buy or refill in the bathroom.

Excellent Stay in a Prime Location
helpful staffcentral locationcomplimentary tea
The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. I had a great experience accessing nearby attractions (including Hope Park) . The breakfast provided was tasty, and I appreciate the bonus of complimentary tea and cake every afternoon between 3 and 5.
I noticed a slight smell of dampness near the door, but that was it.

Breakfast was excellent with a variety of options. I could have as much or as little as I wanted. The veggie breakfast was tasty. There was fresh fruit salad and yogurt (especially the pancakes!).

a mixed experience.
impractical roomawkward tv
the room design felt quite impractical i booked a suite hoping for great views and comfort. the tv was positioned awkwardly i could only watch it through the banisters from the bed. also the heating system operated on a timer so it switched off at 10pm causing the room to get uncomfortably cold. i had to request an electric heater to compensate. plus the windows were high and gave me a view of other rooms instead of the scenery.

the location was good for exploring the town center, it was only a short walk away.
The room i had was disappointing. the shower gel dispenser was empty, it wasn't refilled . i also struggled to adjust the shower temperature. It was either too cold or too hot. this made showering quite frustrating.

the staff greeted me with such enthusiasm, setting a fantastic tone for my stay. the double room second floor had natural light and thoughtful decor. i loved the location! it was a short walk to so many places.
The shower's temperature control proved tricky. Achieving the right balance was a small challenge. i hope they address it soon!

The staff was amiable and offered an excellent breakfast. The location is very convenient (easy to reach everything). The afternoon tea and cake were a nice touch.
I found it a bit hard to get the right shower temperature. The shower gel dispenser was empty in my room. I wish there was more attention to such details.
