“I think that what sets this hotel apart is its enviable location near Grasmere Lake and the Wordsworth Dove Cottages, offering a blend of modern luxury with natural beauty. From what I read, the spa, featuring Germaine De Capuccini treatments, adds a layer of indulgence, and the dining experience stands out with its locally sourced menus. In my opinion, this is an excellent option for those seeking a rejuvenating retreat in the Lake District.”

i thought breakfast was great and the staff was lovely. i got an upgrade to my room when i arrived. this was because it was my anniversary. i also got a complimentary box of chocolates in my room.
the check in was poor with little interaction. our room was not ready but i expected this. i had to ask where i could go to wait. i was guided to a lounge and offered a cupboard to put my bags in.

The hotel seemed a little worn. the carpets in public areas looked quite grubby and the housekeeping trolleys were left out. the spa loungers were not wiped down regularly, which wasn't very appealing. the lack of attention to these details. I'm not sure i would come back.

fantastic stay!

modern bathroomlarge roombleach application
i really enjoyed the modern bathrooms and super large room sizes. the breakfast views made my mornings lovely and the lounge area was superb.
during my visit, i found the plug hole in the bathroom sink needing a bit of bleach. this was a minor detail, but addressing it would enhance the overall cleanliness i expect.
