The staff were helpful and hardworking but overworked. There was a stench of sewerage that was apparent outside and even indoors in certain areas. Our room was well ordered and comfortable. Definitely needs some attention to the waste!! Menus for vegetarians and for continental breakfasts extrememly limited.

Excellent location.
Very good location with a view of the lake. Restaurant was good with friendly staff.
15 minutes walk from the village centre and a short drive from John Ruskin’s house which is well worth a visit.
Even The Ild Man had no clouds!
All in all we had an enjoyable two night break.

Room with view on the lake. Size and state mediocre. Amazing bar area with decent food and outstanding beer choices.
Loved the breakfast buffet. Except no modern coffee.

Gutted!!
Checked in to a £200 a night room to find the view from the window was a brick wall about 6 foot away. To the left of that brick wall was a covered outside area for the staff so plenty of chatting can be heard with the window open. The bed was 2 single beds/mattresses pushed together. Definitely not the gorgeous views promised on their website!!
The only good thing was that they offered a full refund when we left 30 minutes after our arrival.
It is on the lake so a great location, but only if your lucky enough not to get the budget room with NO view!
