Within easy reach of the M6 motorway this 3-star, 34-room hotel offers a warm Lakeland welcome with a reputation for superb food and friendly service. Rooms are maintained to a high standard, all have en suite facilities and some have lake or fell views. The ground floor suite of public facilities includes a comfortable lounge with a well-stocked bar, a delightful conservatory and impressive restaurant with stunning bay window views of the unique South Lakes skyline.

“very enjoyable but some criticisms”
Nice property in a great location.
We found car parking arrangements satisfactory.
Meals and bar service were fine.
Room was comfortable and clean.
We found the plumbing to be challenging to say the lest. The shower controls mystified us for some time until we worked them out. However, the water temperature could not be kept stable resulting in random cycles of very hot or freezing cold water.
