Reviews and Ratings
I was mesmerized by the fabulous views of an unspoilt part of the Lakes from my room, and the garden view was absolutely stunning. The hotel's location amongst the hills in the Borrowdale valley made my stay truly memorable. The friendly staff provided superb service throughout, but the dining experience fell a bit short with limited breakfast options. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The facilities are top-notch, making it a great value for money stay.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel with magnificent views of Wainright's favorite valley. The rooms had amazing views, and the service, especially from the receptionist, was superb. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking with limited breakfast options. The location is in probably the prettiest area of the Lake District, and the facilities were top-notch.
