    The staff were excellent and very friendly. We have never been to a place so dog friendly and everybody loved our Tig (miniature schnauzer). We spent 10 lovely days there. Whilst my husband worked a few days I went on the bus with Tig to several beautiful locations. The continental breakfast was excellent, everything you need to start off the day.

    The location is superb, right in the heart of the most scenic and stunning part of The Lake District, at the very start of the most popular route to the summit of Helvellyn and close to numerous other trails and walks. The staff were attentive, friendly and made our stay a delight. The hotel itself is charming, steeped in history and as authentic as it gets.
