Arrived at 9:30pm after a long day of work. Lifted the toilet seat up and there was poo smeared on the toilet seat. Lifted the second one up and realised it the toilet was never cleaned. Upon closer inspection the floor was covered in hair (definitely not mine). Called reception, took them a while to come and check then took another while to send someone to try clean it because there were no other rooms available. I don’t know what cleaning they tried to do because the poo stain was still there. I had to use hand sanitizer and tissue to clean it myself. Felt really uncomfortable . When i told reception in the morning they didn’t seem bothered and just said they will let someone know. Won’t be coming back

Comfortable quality experience.

Very slick check-in with staff who clearly know their job, are all over the systems and clearly want you to have the best stay possible. Robes and slippers are available to use if visiting the pool or spa. Spacious, quiet room with tea/coffee making facilities and quality toiletries. Choice of pillows and large comfortable bed. We ate in the restaurant both evenings. The food choice was wide, well cooked and presented invitingly. However, the waitress who served us both evenings obviously knew “the drill” of her role, but in reality was far from assisting you to have a positive dining experience. She was going through the motions and really gave the impression that she did not want to be there. She did neither take nor act on criticisms seriously, appearing not to care if you enjoyed your dining experience or not. She chewed , presumably, gum throughout the service and was extremely sullen at all times. This is a very comfortable hotel and gives very good value for money.

Nice location, great staff, tired and shabby room.

The staff were great, the location of the hotel again was great. Sadly the room was tired, especially the carpets, which were stained quite badly. Additionally there was no a/c and the extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work, making the room very stuffy. The staff gave us another fan, as one was already in the room.

Booked and paid for 2 night stay at this spa hotel then i was told i had to pay another £30 to use facilities ie pool, sauna jacuzzi etc which annoyed me to be fair. Its a spa hotel ? Surely these facilities should be in with booking price. Pay for massages and treatments no problem but surely not for pool. But heyho had to do it or stay would have been pointless. The breakfast was cold so left most of it and didnt even bother the next morning. Such a shame because the hotel is beautiful and the staff were polite and professional and really nice. Unfortunately i wont be returning 😕

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.
