We stayed in the family room for the weekend. The room was very clean and spacious, with a brilliant view of the lake. The hotel is only a stone's throw away from Hellvelyn which is where we intended to visit, which was very convenient. With the delicious breakfast it was very good value. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as well.

Location amazing - quiet, no noise from main road, great view of lake and direct access to the lovely 10 mile path all around the lake. Beds in our twin room were nice and comfy. Lovely staff. Nice breakfast. Only negative is that the hotel really needs a bit of a refurb/modernisation, but for the price it's still great value. Highly recommended

The property was good and conveniently located close to the main attractions. Although it’s an older building, it had all the necessary amenities. One of the highlights was the beautiful view. We especially enjoyed having breakfast while overlooking the lakeside, which made for a lovely start to the day. The breakfast was decent—not extraordinary, but satisfactory. The property was also quiet and comfortable. However, there were a few drawbacks. The room had spider webs in several places, and we even noticed a few spiders, which made it feel less clean. The kettle was also in poor condition, with heavy stains and residue inside, so we didn’t feel comfortable using it. The complimentary biscuits were a nice touch, though. Overall, it was an okay stay—not extraordinary, but acceptable. The location, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful lake views were definite positives, but the cleanliness could certainly be improved.
