The hotel had a lovely feel to it. Nice, clean, friendly attentive staff. The spa was fantastic. The pool was a nice temperature and clean, as were all the facilities. The whirlpool, sauna, steamroom were all great and and a back and shoulder massage was fantastic. The food was good quality, the breakfast special of avacado and eggs on toast was cooked to perfection. My daughter and I enjoyed a couple of relaxing days at the hotel, after burning energy during the day, exploring the beautiful surroundings, on foot (hiking), paddleboarding and horseriding.

Nice but nothing special

Wasn’t given any information on arrival about what facilities on offer ie food, spa etc given key and that was it. Room was modern, clean apart from some grubby parts in the bathroom which need some cilet bang! The room and bed was nice and comfy. We used the spa, has a whirlpool which was okay, steam was roasting and didn’t use the sauna cause they are seperate in the changing rooms. Nice comfy robes in the room though which were nice and I also liked a fresh milk & water fountain on each floor. Didn’t eat or drink in the hotel as only 10min walk to Penrith town centre where you wilk get lovely food

Great weekend break

My cousin joined me on a weekend break for my first birthday since losing my husband. Our stay was great from start to finish. Lovely room, pool area immaculate, food lovely and staff very warm and friendly. I'll be back!

The main dinning area was nice but unfortunately the bedroom we stayed in had a lot of mould in the bathroom and the room just felt damp and smelt off. The bed was very uncomfortable. The breakfast was nice and offered plenty of options. The pool area which you have to pay for was always very busy. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again.

The Hotel was alright, but when paying £200+ a night you expect it to be spot on. The cleanliness of the batheroom wasn't great mould on the grout and in the overflow (strange thing to mention i know but it was at perfect eye line when on the toilet) limescale around the tap, and dirty classes left for water. A little bit of attention to detail would rectify the issue im sure. My biggest concern was the bare electrical components within touching distance of the sink and toilet in a family room. I was staying with my 3 year old son and as much as kids are told not to touch cables or plugs they do at times. So this is very dangerous and a shock from 240v at that age could be fatal. Not impressed with this at all. It was reported to reception

Arrived at 9:30pm after a long day of work. Lifted the toilet seat up and there was poo smeared on the toilet seat. Lifted the second one up and realised it the toilet was never cleaned. Upon closer inspection the floor was covered in hair (definitely not mine). Called reception, took them a while to come and check then took another while to send someone to try clean it because there were no other rooms available. I don’t know what cleaning they tried to do because the poo stain was still there. I had to use hand sanitizer and tissue to clean it myself. Felt really uncomfortable . When i told reception in the morning they didn’t seem bothered and just said they will let someone know. Won’t be coming back

Comfortable quality experience.

Very slick check-in with staff who clearly know their job, are all over the systems and clearly want you to have the best stay possible. Robes and slippers are available to use if visiting the pool or spa. Spacious, quiet room with tea/coffee making facilities and quality toiletries. Choice of pillows and large comfortable bed. We ate in the restaurant both evenings. The food choice was wide, well cooked and presented invitingly. However, the waitress who served us both evenings obviously knew “the drill” of her role, but in reality was far from assisting you to have a positive dining experience. She was going through the motions and really gave the impression that she did not want to be there. She did neither take nor act on criticisms seriously, appearing not to care if you enjoyed your dining experience or not. She chewed , presumably, gum throughout the service and was extremely sullen at all times. This is a very comfortable hotel and gives very good value for money.
