Excellent stay, beautiful room
vintage bathtubdog welcomegreat shower
I found self check-in easy. The bedroom featured a vintage bathtub. The bed was comfy. There were complimentary items that felt personal. The room was beautiful and also dog friendly. My dog received a welcome note and treat. She slept on the bed. The location is great for exploring the Lake District. It is easy to get around to areas like Bowness and Ambleside. The room had interiors with great design and local fudge. The bed was super comfy. I did not miss the traditional hotel experience elements like staff and breakfast. The shower was great.
The coffee machine was not dispensing properly. The coffee area was dark. It was difficult to see when trying to make a brew.
