Really good Overnight Stay
free parking helpful staff outdoor seating tasteful decoration
The parking area offered ample free spaces, convenient. I found the staff to be clean and helpful. The coach house had a lovely characteristic feel, complete with nice outdoor seating. The hotel was beautifully decorated inside.
I noticed that the water pressure in the shower was notably poor. This was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise very nice bathroom. Steep stairs leading up to the rooms might pose a challenge for some guests.
Rooms
9/10
The bedroom featured an excellent bed with a high level of comfort for a restful sleep. Tea, coffee, and biscuits were plentiful in the room (a nice touch!).
Location
10/10
This hotel is a great stop off point for trips toward Scotland or Hadrian's Wall. The location is quiet. It was easy to find, even when arriving late at night.

a good stay in the lakes district
warm welcome craft ales
I found the staff cute. Sam's enthusiasm was particularly infectious. the room i stayed in was beautiful, and the bedding was perfectly super clean. i really enjoyed the limited menu options. The steak pie was delicious. the bar featured two hand-pulled craft ales, which i appreciated.
The only minor issue i encountered was the limited choice on the menu. More variety would have been appreciated. while what i had was tasty, having a broader selection could cater to different preferences (maybe some more vegetarian options?).
