Nigel United Kingdom

Team leader in restaurant service staff excellent. Loved the daily changing menu which was always a fantastic choice. Comfy room which had good covid protection in place. Able to walk from the hotel into the great countryside.

Pw United Kingdom

The hotel had two dining areas. One was a formal dining room and the other was a conservatory where you could have a bar meal. As I was doing an endurance swim event over at Ullswater, I was relieved that I could eat somewhere else in the building without feeling too self-conscious about wearing jeans.
