Eskdale Holiday Packages

We had Room 108 at the back overlooking a small car park and trees. The main road was audible with the window open (restricted). This was quirky room but then it is a crazy hotel with a fake "tudor" theme and dark wood furniture and two suits of Armour no less ! I thought it was quite fun. Our room continued the theme with black furnishings and the biggest polished headboard I have ever seen along with matching drawer unit and included gold curtains and even more gold trim net curtains (in need of a good wash) and a gold paint decorated corner plasterwork on the ceiling (pity the embellishment wasn't continued around the frieze! This room was not for the faint-hearted! The rather heavy black throw contained a duvet and it all looked like it could do with a good wash as I can't imagine the throw being changed for every guest. The room and bathroom were adequate. We ate dinner downstairs and had the Salmon which was delicious but topped up with extra chips and salad. This hotel is a pseudo half-timbered property with a dark interior. However, I thought it worked and if they had some inglenook fireplaces I guess it could be quite cosy on a wet winter's day.

Very nice motel. Friendly staff who went out of way to look after us as we arrived after midnight. Close to highway, but quiet.
