The location allowed me to walk easily to nearby attractions. parking was also available. There was a dedicated space. the provided breakfast included a selection of fresh fruit and hot dishes.
the room lacked sufficient soundproofing. i heard noise from adjacent rooms during the night. the shower pressure was inconsistent and made showering difficult.

Acceptable stay overall

stress free check-inconvenient locationavailable ironing boardexpensive roomsmall portionsstream view
Check-in with Pamela went smoothly. The location allowed for a 15-minute walk to Bowness. The room included toiletries and tea and coffee. I found an ironing board readily available on the floor.
The room cost seemed expensive. It was expensive for the stream view room and I could only hear the stream. I wasn't able to see the stream. ( ) The breakfast portions were quite small.

superb stay

luxury toiletrieshelpful staffwater flow
I was offered luxury toiletries. They were lovely. the location is great with a nearby bus stop. the staff were friendly and helpful. a local pub is within a reasonable walking distance.
The shower's water flow was very bad. It kept cutting out intermittently. this made having a hot shower quite annoying.
