Overall a very cosy traditional Lakeland hotel. Extremely clean rooms and very pleasant, helpful staff. Good choice at breakfast. Nice leisure facilities, pool can become overcrowded during school holidays...perhaps a booking system would improve access? Dining room feels a little austere on the evening perhaps needs some soft furnishings, a bit of tlc.
