The breakfast buffet included a good selection of items. Staff was helpful.
The room was not up to standard. I observed a small blood stain on the bathroom door and thick dust in the corners of the room. There was a dressing table but no chair to sit and get ready.

i found the staff very cute. the food at breakfast was varied and tasty. i liked the gluten-free sausage option, a very thoughtful touch. the swimming pool was also a refreshing addition to the hotel experience.
i had some issues with black mold in the bathroom shower. the sink tap also had some unpleasant gelatinous biofilm growth. this impacted my overall experience.

I received a sheet listing all hotel data. It included opening times and other useful information. The hotel provided free parking. A taxi to Bowness is quick and inexpensive, offering a wonderful evening with live music in several pubs.
My room was uncomfortably warm. Even with a fan, it was difficult to sleep well at night.
