Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a nice area, perfect for a relaxing stay. The rooms offer a small balcony to enjoy the view, but some may find them a bit plain. The service is top-notch with attentive staff. Dining experience is a hit with delicious home-made sweets, yet the menu could be more varied. A very well-maintained facility overall.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were lovely with a charming en-suite bathroom, and the views were breathtaking. The service was top-notch with friendly staff, plus they even offered pet amenities which was a nice touch. The location was ideal, right by the bus stop and in the heart of the restaurant and bar scene. The dining experience was exceptional, especially with the organic Quebec cheeses. The facilities were top of the line, making my stay truly memorable.
The hotel is set in a lovely area just off the A66, on the outskirts of Braithwaite, making it convenient for exploring the Lake District. The rooms are spacious, with balconies and beautiful en-suite bathrooms. The service was top-notch with great housekeeping and welcoming pet amenities. The dining experience was exceptional with fresh seafood options. However, the price for the facilities provided could be more competitive.
