Absolutely beautiful place to stay, the staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful, the room was amazing and very clean, I have recommended this place to a lot of people and I will definitely be back, thanks for a fantastic stay.

What can we say other than SUPERB. Our stay could mot have been more enjoyable. The staff especially,so polite and proffessional in their ways. We are both well travelled and have stayed un many hotels in this country and abroad,and we have to say that this is in our top ten. The food was very good but the menu could have had more choice.All in all superb.

Nice hotel. Nice staff, however Ben, the waiter is one of the most professional and attentive waiters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was truly excellent.

From the moment we arrived we were looked after like a lord and lady of the manor. The attention to detail was beyond anything we've had elsewhere. On Boxing Day it was wet and windy so we decided scones and coffee in the lounge in front of a roaring fire was what we needed. Well. They made the scones to order. We were told it would take 15 minutes. Who cares! Well worth the wait.

Room was clean and spacious. Also has a large balcony with a table. Staffs were all kind and I could get help for everything. From the garden and the restaurant, I could enjoy an excellent view of Ullswater. Breakfast was amazing as well. It's a bit far from town but if you have a car, you can easily go around. Perfect place for taking a break.

Everything. Very warm welcome and friendly service. Beautiful old building with quality fixtures and fittings. All the different lounges were Beautiful dressed, with amazing views. Very comfortable rooms.Excellent breakfast

Staff were exceedingly friendly and obliging. Amazing views over Ullswater. Room was large, comfortable and clean. Felt reassured that the hotel were taking every measure to keep us Covid safe. Restaurant food was delicious with great service at both dinner and breakfast. Room service very good too.

Where do I start. We had planned this trip for a while as we were a bit worried about Covid. Our worries evaporated when we arrived at this unbelievable hotel. We stepped into the hotel during the evening time, so we were greeted by the stunning entrance under spotlight. David welcomed us with a warm reception. We had brought our small dog and were accommodated impeccably, served dinner in a private library with the food being 5 star quality, never mind the service from Ryan. We enjoyed a morning walk before leaving the hotel, not before being well looked after during breakfast.

Service staff was accommodating, welcoming, friendly, Lovely reception staff, Location, How clean everything was, beautiful grounds and views,

The building of the hotel was full of charming character. The grounds were beautiful and the views were fantastic. The food was delicious and the staff were helpful, friendly and a credit to the hotel. Upon arrival we were upgraded, what a room ! A perfect stay.
