Warm friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable rooms

10FloraPosted on: 12-21-2024

Very welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfy stay. We were travelling with our dog so we’re given a ground floor room with access out into a patio area. Spacious room with modern ensuite. Everything was spotless and the food was excellent. Brilliant location for exploring the Lakes.

Nothing negative

The staff were perfectly welcoming. Not too imposing which is the style I like. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, very clean too. Beds are comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. Location is great too for many things. The food is absolutely tremendous. Very, very high standard.

Not much at all. The fact they allow dogs is slightly frustrating for those who don't like dogs but obviously given the obsession with them these days they can't really say no so it is what it is. Not their fault if owners can't control their dogs. Everything else was great for the money. Drinks are a tad on the expensive side though, £8.50 for a large glass of wine.

Rooms were lovely and had a quiet nights sleep, landlady and waitress were very welcoming.

The Landlord who served at the Bar was very miserable and not welcoming at all, really didn’t look like he wanted to be there behind the bar, As a small bar it was irritating to have to speak over obviously regulars standing along the bar, just trying to pick your drinks up from the bar was a challenge. Also we love dogs but so so many sitting around the tables whilst eating and getting up to the bar was a challenging making sure you didn’t tread on the poor things.

This pub is in a lovely quiet location. We had an excellent evening meal and superb breakfast, all from locally sourced food. The hosts were great and very hospitable and as you enter the pub the cleanliness shines through. Our room was spacious and situated at the back of the building and no noise could be heard from downstairs.

Nothing to dislike.

Very clean and comfortable room and bed, good tv, nice biscuits. Beautifully cooked breakfast with extra choices also. Really good shower with nice toiletries. Hosts Nicola and Terry were friendly and helpful.

10DebbiePosted on: 7-29-2024

The hosts were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was locally sourced and fresh.The resturant served excellent food for your evening meals. The location was great for the areas we wanted to explore.Would defiantly recommend and return ourselves!

Nothing, we had the freedom to come and go as we pleased and had everything in the room we could of needed.

my wife enjoyed the full English breakfast. she thought that it was very good.i am not a breakfast person but i do like cereal and the choice was perfect for me and the toast and yoghurt were of good quality.the food that they serve in the restaurant/bar is of exceptional quality and is extremely moreish and the pavlova is recommended by my wife. the beer is also of exceptional quality and well kept.the staff and hosts were attentive and very good and always busy and scurrying back and forth..

nothing comes to mind.

10AntonyPosted on: 6-10-2024

The hosts, Nicola and Terry, were fantastic, very welcoming, friendly and attentive. The property was well kept and organised, with a dog friendly dining area. The room was very clean and comfortable, although I did bump my head once or twice on the slanted beams ? ?. The food was excellent, particularly the steak and ale pie ?. Rolo really enjoyed his first holiday and the pampering he received ?.

I can’t say that there was anything wrong with property.

Good breakfast and evening meal quite rural location large car park

10MargaretPosted on: 5-19-2024

Lovely welcoming place to stay. Excellent breakfast cooked to order. The room was spotless and had everything you could need. There was a restaurant here which looked very nice but I was otherwise engaged on the evening I stayed

Nothing. Room and breakfast was perfect

9BrianPosted on: 4-1-2024

Well priced with an excellent location. Hosts were lovely, couldn’t fault the breakfasts and evening meals that we had as well. Would recommend without question.

All worked for us

9MarkPosted on: 3-31-2024

Fine... But really I want to praise the excellent fish and chips on the dinner menu.

NOT a complaint! I had a very good shave and shower. But I must admit I found it a little awkward to manouevre in the bathroom. However, no real problem thanks to the high standard of cleanliness.

9AshleyPosted on: 3-26-2024

The food is exceptional, the hosts are lovely and attentive. The location is quite and rural.
