Much better hotels available in the area.
Very dated room, rotten mouldy window frames, very damp. No soap or toiletries in the room as described.Towels smelt very greasy. Charged an extra £6 to park a car in the hotel car park??? No breakfast buffet available. The hotel is in need of much needed investment, it is falling apart around them? Much better hotels available around the location.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Bedroom needs modernising it was quite noisy from the road outside and the windows were dripping with condensation. Also your room wasn't serviced unless you asked them to quite a strange occurrence in these times. All other parts of the hotel were very clean and tidy

Room and hotel is all you need. Cosy rooms and comfortable beds. My only criticism is that the walls are paper thin, and I was woken up by some neighbours being rather intimate. Overall was good. Thanks

Terribly rubbish hotel ; shame for Lake district
Absolutely Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs! I wish I could give this place zero stars. From the moment I walked in, it was a disaster. The staff was rude and dismissive. They have me a piece of paper where it explains that there is parking charge but they did not bother to mention there is any service request required for getting a basic clean of the room. They acted like it was my fault when I reported The room was NOT serviced. They shown me a nearly hidden notice that they wouldn't service the room unless requested, which is already frustrating, but what’s worse is that even after requesting it, they didn’t bother to change the bedsheets, towels, or duvet covers so they only put them upside down. I had to sleep on dirty sheets, and it was absolutely disgusting. Also the bathtub was so narrow that it became uncomfortable or unsafe to use, and if the handrail obstructed its usability, wondering if this design allows both regulations and comfort. Handrail is must thing but that should allow a person a medium build person to use the bath. To make matters worse, the mattress was horrible – it was so old and poky that I could feel the springs digging into my back all night. It was impossible to get a decent night's sleep. The whole experience felt like the staff just didn’t care about their guests’ comfort or basic hygiene This was by far the worst hotel experience of my life. Do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else!

Tired room, but friendly staff, limited paid park
Really friendly staff from the enquiry call, but little else stood out except the price. En-suite room for the cost of a hostel bed, so can't complain. Room was exceptionally dated and rundown, looked like years of mould and rust had been painted over and badly so. The door meant everyone walking past speaking at a normal tone sounded like they were standing over your bed, not great when opposite the laundry cupboard! If i'd paid more, i would of complained about the room. It also wasn't obvious that you had to pay extra for parking, with an odd system of quoting your reg number when you arrived and paying at a machine on departure, which meant a gaggle of folk waiting around the front door.
