mixed experience at the inn
noisy refrigerator mildew shower
The room itself was disappointing. a refrigerator sat right outside my door and ran loudly most of the night. I barely slept. the shower also had mildew. i wish they had taken better care of these issues before my stay.

the room included an en-suite. a separate entrance existed. this avoided needing to walk through the pub each time.
i noticed a slight lack of electric sockets in the room, only an extension cable was available.

Satisfactory visit
comfortable bed hot water
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.
