to get started.

The whole trip was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the hotel and the food was beyond exceptional. Oh, and the bedding was probably the best we have ever slept in! Also the spa was clean, well stocked and very comfortable.

Lesley, United Kingdom

we stayed here a few years ago and we are pleased to say the hotel, staff, room and food is top notch. We love the spa after a long day on the fells, the front desk team are always helpful, positive and friendly. The breakfast is spot on with plenty of options. We celebrated my fathers 70th and my sisters 40th birthday and the team went out of their way to make the celebration very special. They even made a delicious birthday cake. Definitely recommend this hotel. We will be back. Thank you

Could not find any issues to raise. Perhaps a place to dry our walking boots / wet gear would be nice. Not sure if this already exists, we should have asked!

Everything was wonderful really. If I'm being picky, the food could have had more favouring. The sea bass was delicious but had no salt or pepper on it and the risotto was crunchy and bland.. some lemon risotto would have been lovely. Also, please could you add beans to your breakfast menu! Thank you
The staff were very pleasant and friendly, the spa was heavenly, the surroundings were beautiful. A very relaxing weekend away thank you.
