The rooms, particularly those with ground-floor patio access for pets, are spacious, spotless, and well-appointed, featuring modern ensuites and exceptionally comfortable beds. Food is a clear highlight; from a superb full English breakfast with outstanding bacon to a melt-in-your-mouth Sunday roast, the kitchen clearly excels, making it a truly outstanding find for exploring the Lakes.”
