Delicious Breakfast

The Cumbrian breakfast was a standout! Each morning, it was served hot and fresh, with generous portions that kept us energized for our adventures. The homemade potato cakes added a good twist!

Luxurious Bathroom

Our room featured a stunning roll-top bath, which was a perfect retreat after a busy day. The provided bath salts made soaking even more relaxing and rejuvenating.

Cozy Room Details

From the moment we entered, the thoughtful touches like homemade flapjacks and a personal decanter of port made the room feel welcoming and luxurious. It was a lovely surprise to find such attention to detail.

Relaxing Spa Access

Having access to the nearby Salutation Hotel's spa facilities was a major highlight. The outdoor heated plunge pool was invigorating, especially in the evening when it was beautifully quiet and serene.
