Very good

Superb

A Pleasant Base to Explore...

Liked: Very reasonably priced (for peak holiday season) and a comfortable stay. A perfect spot for walkers who don't want to camp! We picked this site for the easy access to walks around Thirlmere, Raven Crag, the Vale of St John's, and further walks up to the Dodds / Raise and Helvellyn.Facilities were as expected for the 3 star standard, and the staff were welcoming - very pleased with the stay and would return to finish off the other hills!Cafe attached also has nice outdoor seating area for sunny days! Good public transport access from main road also
Disliked: We got breakfast included, which was a continental - good selection but unfortunately not a full English.Cafe setting was slightly strange - no music or TV at the hotel. Cafe closed at 21:30, and if you wanted draft beers or drinks, it's a 3 min drive / 20 min walk to the nearest pub so felt slightly removed

Clinical, with poor facilities in...

Liked: Fabulous locationGreat sceneryClean and decent room
Disliked: Room close to road so some traffic noise No air conOnly two staff, not welcoming or chatty at allCafe had very limited men and alcoholic drinks Cafe & bar closed at 9 pm. No where to sit in comfort in evening except bedroom as all sitting area locked up at 9 pm. No ambience, no music etc. not great for £100 per night for room. Sister hotel kings arms which was a drive up the road was great.
