Far from a 4star experience - we had a suite and it was in a very poor state of repair/cleanliness. Very poor decorating which looks like a child had done the work - paint on the curtains. After booking a suite in a Hotel with pool and Spa we would of needed to pay £30 extra to access the pool.

The hotel is ideally situated - while not being in an immediately picturesque location, its proximity to the M6, A66 and Penrith North Lakes railway station make it the perfect base for exploring the beauty of the Lake District in one direction and Yorkshire in the other. The staff are excellent, particularly in the FYR restaurant: friendly, helpful and attentive. The food is equally impressive and the hotel itself is clean, comfortable and a pleasure to stay in.

Overpriced. We paid £360 for 2 nights with breakfast. On arrival we had to pay a further £30.00 to use the pool area. This being an extea charge for not booking direct. So £390 in all. Our room wasn't made up on the 2nd day until gone 3pm. Used cups not, cleaned, removed or replaced. Water stains from cups not cleaned. Hardly any wardrobe hanging space. Other than that the hotel is fine, but needs better standards in respect of room cleaning. We won't use this chain again due to the additional charging to use facilities which really should be included, given the price we had already paid. Extortionate

Lovely place to stay.

We had amazing check in service when we arrived. Great explanation on how to get water and milk. Nice touches in the room. Very clean and tidy. Flannel provided. Spa product's and the cutest sheep cups. Dressing gown and slippers. Thoroughly enjoyed and would return. Only downside for me was the extra charge to use the swimming pool.

Quick check in which was good. Room extremely hot despite the closed curtains and fan is wasn’t pleasant. Opened the window to let some air in then you have the traffic noise from the M6. Hardly slept cancelled the second night as wasn’t a great experience. Food was expensive and bland. £21 for a dry over cooked burger with a thin slice of tomato, 2 lettuce leaves, some cheese and a slice of bacon. Staff were helpful when I explained why I cancelled breakfast and the second night. Doubtful I would stay again in warm weather.

Made a mistake when booking and ordered a twin instead of a double. Staff could not have been more helpful - told us to go to dinner and they moved all our luggage to a different room. Excellent customer service!

Weary?

Yikes. Lots of kids and weird people on their way to the spa with not enough clothes on; avert your eyes or rip them out. Unable to book an evening meal on arrival, but that was a blessing in retrospect because the breakfasts were not enjoyable - food from under the hot-lights. We thought the hotel was in need of modernisation and decoraration. Nothing to do with good order, we just found it weary.
