The dining experience was delightful, and the facilities were top-notch. The only downside was the slightly higher price compared to other options in the area.

The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the central Lake District area with lovely views and dog-friendly rooms. The staff provides excellent service, especially accommodating to our puppy. The restaurant required booking for dinner at a fixed price, but with a pleasant view and delicious vegan options. The stay offered great value for money overall.
