Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with extremely clean, beautiful, and comfortable rooms. The friendly and helpful staff made my experience even better. The location ensured a quiet and peaceful sleep, although I wished it was closer to Bowness. The breakfast was top-notch, and I would definitely consider staying here again.
The hotel is situated a bit further away from the main lakes than anticipated but offers a quiet and pleasant ambiance compared to other hotels. The lovely staff, food, and rooms make it ideal for exploring Barrow and the south Lake District, with one of the best hotel breakfasts experienced. Free parking adds convenience while the smaller size of the rooms may not suit everyone.
The hotel is situated in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of town, overlooking a lovely garden. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a lovely soft bed and pillows, though it was quite disruptive hearing movements from another room and the chiller fan. The staff were lovely and welcoming, but improvements could be made in the dining area for a more comfortable experience.
