The hotel offers cozy rooms with good facilities and full heating, but the service lacks a welcome drink. It is conveniently located right on the Coast to Coast route, although it doesn't have a dining area. The facilities are satisfactory but could be more modern.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, and the service was exceptional. However, the dining options were limited, and the facilities were somewhat lacking. The location was convenient with easy access to the coast and beautiful walking paths.

The hotel is perfectly situated right on the Coast to Coast route, providing easy access and a charming setting. The rooms are spacious with a huge bathroom boasting a large shower cubicle and excellent facilities, but the heating on full might be too warm for some. The service, including a kind welcome drink, adds a personal touch to your stay. While the dining experience is inclusive and convenient, the breakfast bars may not suit all tastes. The location is ideal for Coast to Coast explorers and those seeking proximity to the eastern lakes. The pub downstairs offers a cozy atmosphere. Overall, a good value for money option with some minor drawbacks.
