We booked a room with an en suit and fully filed our expectations. It was large with brilliant views over mountains and hotel gardens. We read reviews that the hotel is outdated and going through renovation, so it was quite worrying that it maybe affect our stay but it wasn't. We can't say how others rooms looks but our was very stylish and well equipped, there was safe locker, fridge, two hairdryers ( one in bathroom and other one in dresser drawer ) socket with USB ports ( next to kettle ), iron and ironing board, kettle etc. . We loved our room especially for big and very comfortable bed and views. Yes there signs of renovation taking place like new carpets etc. but you won't be bothered about DIY team as they working unnoticeable and we have seen just one closed area where DIY materials were kept but it was out of customer eyes and way. Surprisingly there was absolutely zero dust which usually is part of these kind of jobs so all that added together shows how professional team is working there. Swimming pool and area is very clean in decent size pool and large jacuzzi fits easily nine people , wet sauna large and not over steamed , we like the fact that pool was well set and there was chlorine level not to exceed. Unfortunately we can say nothing about dry sauna as it was through renovation and was close 😕 but looks nice inside anyway. Breakfast - you can eat it at a restaurant or order to room , we like a fact that continental breakfast desks was prepared for own use and hot one was ordered by waiter, food was great 👍 Pub , it's doesn't have victorian age charm as someone was write in review but is small cozy nice and for them which like outdoors, table are there too so yes - we like it and it looks that others too. Large chose of alcohol.

The family room was great - big, bright, comfy beds, big bathroom with bath, fridge. It had new carpet and lovely sofas. The hotel is undergoing renovations, but it didn't negatively affect our stay. In fact the workmen were very nice and the main man of the facilities team, Robin, even helped us charge up our car battery when it was dead (thank you so much Robin!). Lovely small pool (big enough to swim some lengths in) with hot tub, sauna, steam room. My husband is picky about gyms and said this one has enough to do a decent workout. Breakfast was great. Dinner was good - but portions could be bigger for the cost. Overall a very good stay and would stay again.

The room was huge which we were not expecting, perfect for a family of four. The view outside to the garden was gorgeous and you could see the hills in the background. Everywhere was exceptionally clean and there were plenty of teas, coffees and bathroom extras available. All staff that we spoke to were extremely nice and welcoming. The children were particularly happy to have a pool in the hotel. The breakfast was delicious, full Cumbrian breakfast - not greasy so didn't feel overfull after eating. Couldn't fault this hotel at all despite it being under renovation.

Breakfast was very good...everyone seemed to enjoy the food. There was a good selection of pastries and breads as well. The evening meals on the most part were very good, however, one night we did order sauces for our steaks and they came out late and were not made properly. We weren't, however, charged for them in the end which was fine. The bedrooms were very tidy and very comfortable. In terms of the staff, everyone was very friendly, however, the reception staff went above and beyond to look after us and made us feel very welcome.

Friendly staff, Fabulous location, refurbishment underway is working well. Lovely spacious room, gorgeous topper topped comfy beds, super efficient heating in room. Generous biscuit, tea and coffee offering in room. Lovely newly fitted shower room. Handy leisure facilities for wet days! Tasty old school cooked to order breakfasts with lots of choice and quiet dining room with well spaced out tables and a well priced dinner menu of tempting options. Comfy sitting room with a fire for late night chats and lazy afternoons.
