I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms offer a gorgeous view of the hills, but they were slightly small with limited bathroom space; however, larger double rooms are available, which are also dog-friendly. The service was extremely helpful, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The location is undeniably amazing, with easy access to the hills and a convenient bus stop to Keswick just a short walk away. The dining experience was superb, with plenty of delicious food to enjoy. Overall, a lovely location and very clean establishment.

The hotel offers very modern and comfortable rooms; however, there was a brief issue with an unpleasant odor due to lack of recent use. The service from the friendly and courteous staff was excellent, representing a credit to the management. The location, though slightly dated in parts, provides peaceful and beautiful views, perfectly situated for a relaxing getaway just minutes from Keswick. The dining experience was delightful, offering a good selection, including options for coeliacs. Overall, a great stay with wonderful amenities.
