The staff are very helpful and polite. The room was lovely, with a spacious bathroom. Close to all transport links but also not too far to walk to the lake. Noticed a bike hire shop over by the train station too. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Better than expected.

We were in room 34. It was a spacious room which was clean and comfortable; some creaky floors though. Evening meal and breakfast both good and staff helpful.

Excellent Lakes Stay

We booked a superior room which was excellent and had views of the lake. We were a ljttle apprehensive when booking after reading some reviews but we absolutely did nit need to worry. Excellent hotel and really good value for money. Tip pay the extra £10 per couple for breakfast as is very good for the money. We would definitely stay again. Well done.

Had a lovely stay

Had a lovely stay here, staff were polite, room was clean and bed was comfy. The location was great. We stayed for 3 nights but the room was not cleaned once. It was not a problem for us as we kept it clean but other people might not feel the same.

I didn’t know i had to pay for parking at the hotel, i think its disgusting, it just seems another way of getting money of the customers ,Greedy people getting more money for doing nothing, And the breakfast was poor quality especially the wafer thin bread for toasting ,why cant they use toasting loafs

We stayed one night, my only negative was the shower not draining as it should and flooding the bathroom, I was in less than 5 minutes, just got out , and there was a member of staff knocking at the door because water was leaking downstairs. He gave us detailed instructions on how to use the shower and not to let the water past the trap which is ridiculous. They need to get this sorted as it must happen all the time. Nice big room and breakfast was nice and staff friendly, good value.
