Great family friendly hotel near Keswick
Staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The leisure facilities are fabulous and our children loved it. The roaring log fire was our favourite spot to sit and play a game or two.

Really nice hotel with great pool, hot tub, sauna. Only stayed for one night but definitely coming back.
Lubos, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room clean and comfortable but outdated in Decor, however there was substantial upgrading works taking place throughout which was mentioned on booking and never affcted our stay . The bathroom felt newly installed, clean and with a decent shower and bath. Where the standards drop is the food. Choose to eat on site first night due to arrival later than planned , a valentines menu and the food was poor . Undercooked pasta , overcooked salmon and bland tasting all round . The offering for breakfast was good , with a good selection of fruit , cereals , pastries ect until the cooked breakfasts arrived . It was rushed through in a time that it couldnt of been cooked to order and wasnt hot on both mornings . A real shame as the location for a bit of peace and quiet was great but 100% need to up the quality of food service and Cooking .

Lovely hotel, large rooms.
Lovely welcome, great pool area and restaurant was nice. The rooms are huge and they have everything you need. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment which is desperately needed but the staff were brilliant and we felt very happy there. Location is good and the grounds are beautiful.

Great staff and location.
The staff were extremely helpful and the room was great however, the hotel is under renovation and several areas were out of bounds. We were not told about this in advance.
Brian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff and food spot on. Rooms a little dated and came with no fridge which was a surprise. Building work was going on which cannot be helped but would have been nice to be informed.

Dorothy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a fantastic family break. The swimming pool was excellent for my five year old and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms were very spacious and clean. There were a couple of minor jobs that needed fixing in the bathroom such as a wonky toilet seat and a broken plug. The grounds were lovely and the outdoor tennis looked fantastic. The outdoor eating space was glorious in the sun. There were clearly improvements being made to the property at the time of our stay but it did not affect the brilliant time we had there.
Lynn, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

No warning of renovation works, strong smell of paint, fire doors wedged open, I had to close myself. Quite cold as all doors open. Lots of flies too.
