"Stayed for one night. Room basic and bathroom floor could have been cleaner. Questionable marks on the toilet seat and lid. Room had all I needed for a night. Bed was comfortable and reception staff were friendly. Had to turn the room temp down to stop the heater coming on during the night as it made really loud noises. Very poor soundproofing from the room above - sounded like someone was running from one end of the room to the other at one point! Breakfast next door was poor. Not refilled quickly and the last bits left under the lamps were stone cold. Eventually got a hot hash brown but absolutely nothing else was remotely warm, let alone hot. Glad I didn’t go for a meal during the evening. The signs about limited staff meaning you had to book (even a mid-week table for one!) put me off. At about £140 for a night, it wasn’t great value for a basic product."

"What an excellent find this delightful b&b is.  Located in Whitehaven, this b&b is a great spot to tour from.  Visitors are a mix of contractors and tourists & the b&b seems to cater exceedingly well for either. We were greeted warmly by Nav on arrival. Nav showed us to our room on the ground floor,  next to the pool area. The rooms are bright and freshly decorated, in neutral but warm colours -  carpets and mattresses are new. They are well laid out,  plenty of space,  with a table if you need to work,  ensuite, wardrobe, and table with kettle etc.  Sachets of tea and coffee are plentiful, and extra available nearby. Nav showed us around the b&b, up to the bar (self service with honesty box), well stocked with good selections, the breakfast room, then onto the gardens.  Nav has done a wonderful job with the gardens, similar to the rooms, the views are spectacular, and the area so very peaceful.  Nav provided lots of helpful recommendations for places to visit nearby and places to eat. After a blissful night's sleep (a very quiet location) we ventured to breakfast, again to a warm hello from Nav who cooked us an excellent full English (other options available.  In addition, there are a varied selection of cereals, fruit, yogurt, pastries,  juice,  toast and preserves. We were definitely not left hungry or thirsty,  being supplied with a carafe of coffee, & the kippers on our last day were scrummy. Although we didn't have time to use the pool, we did sneak a look,  it was very clean, and the room bright and airy - maybe next time. There definitely will be a next time,  not only to see how the garden is coming along, but because this is a lovely b&b.  Nav and Ian have put a great deal into making the b&b a home away from home,  and are fantastic hosts,  lighting up the room with their warmth and friendliness.  A pleasure to visit."

"We stayed at the hotel for our annual Xmas party could fault any of it the food was amazing the rooms clean tidy and warm the staff couldn’t do enough for us breakfast had plenty of choice both cooked and continental the Christmas tree was stunning will definitely visit again"

"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."

"Hotel looks stunning from outside so pretty. Lounge area comfortable & delicious cocktail before dinner. Lovely staff food was delicious we had a lovely evening"
