Understaffed on arrival. Had to wait 10 minutes to check-in as only one member on who was serving in the coffee shop. However staff were generally helpful. Convenient location for both Keswick and Grasmere/Ambleside. Rooms very clean though bed was harder than I’m used to. The continental breakfast was delicious with unlimited barista-made coffee. I would stay again in the future. Very reasonably priced in a lovely part of the world.

The lady I spoke to on first arrival was very pleasant. I had informed the place that I was bringing 2 dogs, I was put in the very furthest room meaning carrying the extra doggy luggage took several difficult trips. The room was ok except for the fact that it had no windows, just a skylight. So no view of the lovely countryside, in fact no view at all. It was a very hot few days but the only fresh air came from the skylight. It was a precarious climb on the bed to open it. The noise from the traffic on the busy road kept me awake most of the nights. It was very loud.
