Lovely, friendly stay close to...
Liked: I had a lovely stay at Rivendell, which is situated just a few minutes walk from the town centre and buses to Penrith, Windermere and more. The room was perfectly sized for a solo traveller with lots of storage, and the bed was extremely generous for a single (closer to a double). The host, Jo, was absolutely lovely, communicative and helpful, helping me book a taxi and giving advice on transport and things to do. You can select from a generous range of breakfast options each morning and a great, hearty breakfast is then cooked to your specifications. The surrounding area has tonnes to do and great fews and was very easy to get around even without a car.
Disliked: WiFi was a bit spotty but that's to be expected for the area. Bath towel could have been a little bigger. That's basically it, I had a pretty much perfect stay!
