Really good Stay and Service!

tranquil viewlocal stafflimited choice
The room overlooked a garden, offering a tranquil view! Breakfast featured a wide selection, and I appreciated the dog-free zone. The bar drinks were fairly priced, and snacks in the garden area arrived promptly! I also observed local staff employed by the company.
The vegetarian menu had limited options, and the single choice was unavailable. I asked about its availability the following evening, however, the response indicated it would likely remain unavailable. This situation prompted me to dine elsewhere .

charmed stay

cereal selectionspacious roomcomfortable bedsmall room
the breakfast had a good selection of cereals, fruits, and bread. the hot breakfast was very tasty (i especially liked the bacon). our room was surprisingly spacious. the beds were very comfortable,.
i booked a three-night stay with my pet, and i paid extra for it. however, the room felt a little small to accommodate us comfortably. it would have been better if there was more space for my pet to move around.
Facilities

the hotel has well maintained gardens with plenty of seating areas to relax. there are also several walking routes that start directly from the garden.
Service

the staff helped pump up the tyre and advised where to find the nearest garage when my car tyre had a puncture and went down overnight. the staff also provided directions for a beautiful circular walk around sale fell with views of the lake and skiddaw (i was very grateful).
