Stewart United Kingdom

The location was perfect for a base to see the Lakes. Plus the addition of a free car park on-site. The room was clean and comfortable. It contained everything you would need for a stay there. The breakfast choice was adequate to suit a variety of tastes but the addition of cereal for younger guests would be helpful. The staff in the bar and at breakfast were all helpful. Would stay here again.
