beautiful gardens professional staff friendly service shaded patio stifling room rude barman
The gardens were beautiful and perfectly situated for the lake. The hotel staff were professional and friendly. The location is ideal for visiting the lake. I appreciated the kind service from everyone.
The patio received shade for most of the day. Our room was stifling with very little air. The bar man was rude to other guests. He rolled his eyes at them when they complained.

Great stay!
big portions helpful staff
Breakfast had excellent selection with big portions. The staff were cute and helpful, a real asset. I loved seeing the highland cattle near the hotel. The room had space and the bed felt comfy.
I could hear showers and taps running at all hours from room 24. The pillows are very uncomfortable and disrupt sleep.

Rooms are spacious with contemporary furnishings, a nice update. The rooms are clean upon arrival, and well-kept throughout the stay. Rooms may require minor repairs, but they are still functional.
Location

The location is in the Lakes District, between two main areas. The hotel is set back from the road so it is a quiet retreat. It is best to have a car since the bus stop is a short walk away.
