Pleasant Stay

Perfect for a short stay. Not the most visually attractive building but served our needs. Probably one of the best breakfasts ive ever had and well worth the £8 Staff were very nice and extremely helpful. Our room had a smell when we arrived. We were told that after heavy rain the deains backed up. It was away by morning and there was no water ingress. We would return.

Great value, comfortable stay

This hotel was perfectly placed, and very comfortable for a family stay. Staff were fantastic, in particular Shanice who checked us in and answered all our questions about our short visit to the city, and was very friendly. Very comfortable sleep and a good breakfast the following day. We would definitely stay again, very well priced and overall a very positive stay.

Concerns about my selection were unfounded

I stayed in this property number of years and it was very run down, in need of some TLC. Please to say rooms have been redecorated and are comfortable. Didn't try the food as busy seeing friends but they appeared to have deals on most days

It’s a good hotel location to get to Lake District, free large car park. Friendly greeting at reception on check-in. Should also mention handy EV charger (fast charger) for EV cars (which I used) just off main road. So not only can you recharge your battery but also the cars.
