Really good Stay

the room was spacious, super clean, and equipped well. breakfast included a wide range of food and it was very good. i appreciated the friendly and well-mannered staff members after a long walk on saturday (they always had a smile!).
it reminded me of it was more or less shoved in my face, i think it could be handled with a bit more care.

reasonable breakfast spreadpleasant breakfast spacegood connectivitylimited parking spacesmediocre mealcafe restaurant
the breakfast had a reasonable spread. it had cereals, yoghurt, and fruit compote. the breakfast space is well-lit and pleasant. the hotel also had good connectivity to other parts of the lake district.
I paid for parking then found no spaces. i had to pay again in a public car park, this was frustrating. it was difficult to get a sitting for supper on saturday evening. the meal i had was mediocre. It was more like a cafe than a restaurant.
