I find it difficult to say anything nice about this hotel. Where to start! When we checked in, the lady at the counter took a while to answer the bell, then talked to us for a few minutes, then disappeared again for about 10 minutes. She came out later, to tell us that she was watching the end of 'deal or no deal'. Got to love the customer service! All of the other hotels in the area advertised shared bathrooms and we had avoided these. When we arrived at this motel, the bathroom was also shared between 4 rooms - beware of this! Upon check out we were told that the room had been paid, however, we didn't get a receipt. When I asked for one, we were told it wasn't possible, and that they'd send one out that day. 3 weeks later and we are still waiting.

I thought the owners were friendly,communitive,helpful and interesting.The room I stayed in had everything I required and the only minus points was the bathroom door latch didn't work on the shared facility and would be helpful to add that the sat nav fails to recognise the exact location of hotel.My overall impression was a good well run hotel that I would use again.

Room was clean and comfortable.Breakfast was good. Should have found out before booking if all rooms had en-suites was able to book the only two rooms with en-suites but at a premium my room shared a bathroom with four other rooms.As this seems to be a workers hotel bathroom free from 8am onwards not ideal.Owners very obliging nice pub 5mins walk away.

More or less clean. Nothing was mentioned while booking that a common toilet facility is to be used which was a big discomfort.

I liked the friendliness and helpfulness of staff ...the location ...and the free internet ..which was a real bonus I didn't like the change they have made fairly recently to exclude breakfast from the all in price ...including it instead as an optional extra at around £7.50. ... whilst at the same time , the price of the room had not gone down by that amount.

This is a warm welcoming hotel with very lovely people taking car of you without being intrusive. The breakfast was on par with a five star hotel/restaurant of which I work in. Very comforting and reassuring as we were attending a funeral. This isnt a complaint just a preference of ensuite facilities

We completely enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful and provided a professional and low-key stance - not being overbearing. - just as we like it. The food was very good and generous. We will look to stay at the hotel again.

The hotel unfortunately would benefit from a major refurbishment.Having no en suite bathroom is really no longer acceptable these days.

Cela fait 2 ans de suite que je prends une chambre dans cet hotel.Je suis tout à fait conquise par l'accueil, la discrétion et le professionnalisme des propriétaires. Le cadre est simple et confortable, les petits déjeuners copieux et bons. La chambre est parfaitement entretenue et sent bon quand je rentre le soir pour m'y reposer. J'y retournerai volontiers l'an prochain.

Idyllinen vanha talo ja herttaiset omistajat kissoineen ja koirineen.Runsas aamupala. Hyvää vastinetta rahoille. Sängyt kaipaisi ehkä uusimista.

Exceptional value. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast and courteous, friendly hosts. Best free internet access. For Barrow-in-Furness and the Dock Museum, and for the Lake District this is an excellent place to stay My single room was cosy, clean and comfortable, but a desk light would have been helpful
