impersonal check-inunattended service
The check-in process lacked warmth , and felt quite impersonal. I also found that my dessert order was overlooked , requiring me to follow up. Leaving without breakfast, included, was disappointing. This happened after being directed to a cramped table where I could not comfortably sit. I found the lack of attentiveness frustrating.

Wonderful Stay Near Coniston Fells

clean amenitieswhite linensdelicious breakfastfriendly staff
The staff was accommodating to my late arrival. My room had basic but clean amenities including white linens. Breakfast was delicious and the morning staff were super friendly (I especially liked the coffee!). The location near Coniston Water is great.
Noise levels in the morning made for a less comfortable time in bed.

Acceptable stay with some drawbacks

hearty breakfastsmall gapslamming doors
The food was good at the pub it was a hearty breakfast for a full day of walking.
The room lacked a window I was not expecting this based on the photos or description. The door had been broken before and was not properly fixed leaving a small gap. I heard doors slamming and other guests coming and going constantly.
