central Location, great Find

helpful staff free car park
The staff were friendly and helpful during check-in and throughout my stay. I parked in their free car park behind the hotel. It was useful. the room was clean and very basic. It served its purpose for a short stay.
The car park had a tight archway. It presented a challenge when i arrived. this situation required careful maneuvering.

surprisingly good stay

ideal location private space side room
I secured a side room and this prevented us from needing to walk through the pub area. the location proved ideal. It was right at the cumbria way start. there was also a private space assigned for bicycle storage, which i found very convenient.
i noticed what looked to be a small mark on a decorative pillow.
