The hotel is in a unique location, just off the M6, making it convenient for traveling north and south, with beautiful views. The service was extremely friendly and cooperative, ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining experience was a bit disappointing with limited breakfast options. The rooms, while adequate, lacked comfort and cleanliness in some areas.

The hotel was located in such peaceful surroundings, with a very warm and genuine welcome from the staff. The rooms, although having a tea pot which was appreciated, were not clean on arrival, with holes in the curtains, and the bed wasn't made. The service was friendly and attentive, and the location was good, but there were no eating alternatives nearby. The dining experience was self-service, with all guests sharing the same equipment to select food, which was not ideal. The facilities were limited.

After a lovely dinner, the hotel offers great classical room designs in deep reds and gold. The room had a convenient hairdryer and tea/coffee facilities, which included a appreciated tea pot. The wardrobe was spacious with lots of hangers and storage, but it could use some updating, although renovation work is in progress. Unfortunately, there was an unwelcome morning wake-up call.

Service

8.0

The staff are friendly, attentive to needs, and very helpful in various aspects of service including dining, checking people in, and room service. However, there were moments when assistance required going to a back office.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is a relaxing getaway spot, with lovely rooms overlooking the courtyard. It's great for visiting the lakes and Yorkshire, but it's not ideal that food has to be carried quite a distance, making it colder than necessary.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was generally pleasant, offering a brilliant choice of continental and cooked breakfast. However, there were some issues with the service and quality, like the bread being either 'warm' or burnt, and an unkind remark from a waitress questioning breakfast choices.

Facilities

The hotel offers newly done sitting rooms and is situated in a lovely countryside retreat with scenic views and a red squirrel reserve on site.
