Disappointing stay

The bedroom was small, with a tiny ensuite. The mattress was flimsy and very uncomfortable. The hotel sits on a busy main road and the traffic noise keeps you awake. We stayed two nights and when our room was cleaned the shower gel wasn't restocked so had nothing to clean ourselves with. The shower itself is awful, with no water pressure, and the shower head isn't attached properly, so water comes out the top of it. The toilet seat doesn't work properly and keeps closing on itself, so hits you in the back when you sit on it. Breakfast was disappointing - I had the Eggs Royale and the poached egg was hard and they didn't even toast the mufffin - not worth the extra £13 we paid each for breakfast. All in all it wasn't a great stay and I wouldn't stay here again or recommend it to anyone, unless you're after somewhere really basic. Definitely wasn't worth the money. We spent most of our stay at The Swan just down the road (which roughly costs the same) and if we ever return to the area we will stay there instead.

The entrance was stinking with wine or some other foul smell which we couldn’t withstand. The beds were too small although it says double bed. Rest was good, the washrooms were clean and the towels as well.

What a charming property. An old inn so it should be expected it is not modern but has been sensitively maintained. Staff were helpful and the manager was very hospitable. Food was exceptional. If you want a more traditional stay in a lovely location within the Lakes I would recommend
