clean roomfresh towelsdated decorscalding water
the room was very clean and the towels were changed every day. they also topped up the biscuits , tea , coffee , and milk each day.
i noticed the decor is a bit dated , with diy maintenance. the hot water in the tap was scalding hot , and both taps dripped if not turned off really hard.

Satisfactory visit

comfortable bedhot watersound insulation
The bed was comfortable. The shower offered powerful hot water. The bar provided a nice selection of drinks and food. It is a good base to stop on the way to Scotland. The hotel is very close to Castlerigg.
Our room required underfloor sound insulation. Noises from other guests continued late. This was too intrusive. I think, with some investment in updating the room, this place could be even better.
