Nice food at the restaurant but limited options for vegetarians/vegans, and expensive. Beautiful views of the river leading to Windermere but you can’t really travel anywhere on foot from the hotel as it leads directly from a 70mph dual carriageway. Hotel interiors are worn and dated, but clean overall.

The staff were very helpful, and the spa/gym was good for us though somewhat dated. THe only negative was with the evening meal on 3oth October. The lamb and Tapas were really good but the vegetables served with the lamb were inedible. They had been cooked but were like sticks, couldnt even cut them with a knife. The next tables had the same issue. Really strange. We should have calle the chef to explain but we felt we didnt want any fuss.

Dated internal building. It's like a motel from the 90s Room was freezing when I got in at 9:30pm Went to bed at 10am after a long day only to hear the major A road zoom by every few minutes. Next day went for breakfast. It was very sparse of choice. No pastries during my time there toaster did not toast and staff simply rude. Now the pool area. Simply dated and undying scum. Spend two minutes in the cold pool and left. In daylight the noisy room was like the pool area. Still waiting for a call from the manger, who was to busy to speak with me at checkout.

Great short break
The hotel is great our room was exceptional 304. The staff are courteous. The access to the health club is a real bonus. Only thing that did not feel quite right for us was the breakfast. It felt disjointed, not presented well ie the bread only brown and white sliced just dumped in a pile. Cold plates for a luke warm "hot breakfast" all in all nothing wrong but needs someone to give it an overview.

Relaxing 2 night break
Hotel was clean, warm and welcoming. We booked it for two nights to basically relax using the spa and leisure facilities and it certainly ticked that box. The only negative was that the menu was very limited when it came to vegetarian options an example being a quinoa salad as the only main meal choice in the restaurant.
