"We had a lovely stay here for 6 nights, the staff were helpful. The room was one of the cleanest ive stayed in. We had a room that looked out onto the sheep next door and it was a real joy waking up to them each day before starting our adventures into the lakes. I could not faul the hotel. We did not use the brewers fayre and the outside could use a freshen up as it looks a little run down. But inside was lovely and I would happily return here."

"Booked for my daughters hen weekend and everyone really enjoyed their stay. Ian and Nav are fantastic hosts and really made us feel welcome. Lovely views from the garden. The rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. My dozy daughter left her driving license and they kindly posted it to her."

"I arrived on a stormy night in the lake district - on entering the hotel I was met with a warm glow from the log fire and a very warm welcome from the receptionist. As the hotel dining room was about to close, a room was sorted and the kitchen kept open for an evening meal - a delicious melt in the mouth steak was a pleasure after a 6 hour drive from the south of england, washed down with a welcome glass of Shiraz. The bed was very comfortable, the room had a large bath and separate shower cubicle and copious hot water. The decor and fittings were in sympathy with the age and history of the hotel, a pleasant change from the blandness of more modern mass market hotels. The staff were very friendly and it was a pleasure to be assisted without having to use automated impersonal systems. I will not hesitate to stay at the hotel again when I am next in the area."

"We have stayed here before and always enjoyed it, sadly would not return. On getting in our room my husband went into the bathroom and was met with 2 soggy yellow loo rolls, which were quickly replaced, then we noticed the towel heater was leaking, and water was on the shelf explaining the said loo rolls. We were told we could move but only available room was in attic with a bucket in middle of floor as roof leaking. There was no heating on till sometime in the night after we'd gone to bed . We'd found a heater and put it on so we ended up being overheated. No tumblers in bathroom to put our toothbrushes in, pillows not comfy so we both had bad night sleep. Food wise, at evening meal my husbands fish was childlike and mostly batter and the chase burger wasn't up to much. He ended up eating 2 packets crosps when we got back to room as still hungry. Breakfast we had to look for someone so we could have butter on our toast. Only plus side were the staff, who were lovely."

"Weekend stay. Lovely room, food was fantastic, had the Georgian Chicken. Breakfast was equally as good. Will definitely stay again."
