In a poor state inside ,rooms not serviced . The staff are very pleasant and the grounds are very nice. In a good position to walk into Keswick. The price you pay to stay ,then they want you to pay for parking per night we don’t think is very good.

Lovely looking Hotel on the outside but once inside it was very tired looking and in need of an overall refurbishment. Facilities very poor. The TV remote didn’t work and the shower was like going back to prehistoric times. Very poor water pressure. For a £100 plus per night it totally fell short of my high expectations when I booked it. Would not return again.

We stayed for a night on the 6th of February 25. A nice welcome but I’d say that the hotel needs a little ‘love’ but it is currently getting upgraded so that may come. Our room was warm and the bed comfortable. Used the shower which also was good. Breakfast is self service and the food was warm and well presented. I would use the hotel again if I wanted a cheap place to stay. It is around a mile from Keswick and if you walk go the long way round because the quicker way is full of large puddles and can be a bit hazardous and you might need wellies !! One more thing is that book your taxi from the hotel because there are very few if any taxis in Keswick.
