friendly staff beautiful decoration refresh needed limited tea bag
The staff offered friendly welcomes, wonderful. The breakfast was abundant and delicious (especially the cumbrian breakfast!). The room was immaculate and beautifully decorated.
The room I stayed in could use a refresh. I found only one tea bag in the room and not much milk.

lovely stay in a convenient location

spacious room good breakfast friendly staff
the room was spacious and clean, i was grateful. breakfast was very good, i enjoy it. the staff was very friendly, they helped me to carry my luggage. i would visit again for a similar stay.
the car park was a bit far from the hotel, i noticed. it made transporting luggage slightly difficult. i hope they will address this inconvenience for future visitors.
