friendly staffspacious roomdelicious breakfastroom draft

The staff were friendly, from the front desk to the cleaning staff! I found the room to be spacious. Breakfast was delicious, and there were a lot of options. The hotel also offers good connectivity to the Lake District.

I discovered a draft under the room door and in the bathroom. The room lacked drawers, a safe, and a fridge. I also noted the absence of biscuits and a thin, lightweight quilt without extra blankets.

Dining
