The hotel is cheap and affordable could do with some basic maintenance and some basics of the cleaning are to be questioned but for the price it was more than adequate.

It’s a good hotel location to get to Lake District, free large car park. Friendly greeting at reception on check-in. Should also mention handy EV charger (fast charger) for EV cars (which I used) just off main road. So not only can you recharge your battery but also the cars.

There is plenty of parking there contrary to some of the info I saw. Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were good and rooms spacious.and warm. The hotel could do with modernization as it looks tired however it's reflected in the price. My stay was pleasant and I would stay again.

After reading the reviews for this hotel after having booked my heart sank. I thought I’d check it out since having paid for the night. Upon arrival I was greeted by the receptionist who was very nice. The hotel lobby looked outdated but clean and welcoming. Upon entering the room I was pleasantly surprised. All linen and towels were clean and crisp smelling of lovely fresh linen. The room was clean without any unpleasant odours. It’s a 3 star hotel. You take that for what it is. The only thing that was disappointing was the bath mat and shower curtain were discoloured but wasn’t the end of the world. The breakfast was lovely and hot with plenty of choice. I would definitely stay here again!
