Great family friendly hotel near Keswick

Staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The leisure facilities are fabulous and our children loved it. The roaring log fire was our favourite spot to sit and play a game or two.

On arrival, check in was good. Our room was lovely, large and bright, spotlessly clean. Going for our evening meal at 6pm we had to pass through an area where workers were working redecorating a lounge area full of dust and the strong smell of fresh paint. This experience happened every morning and evening of our 5 day break. We also discovered the workmen were allowed into the dining room for their breakfast and evening meal wearing their work clothes at the same time as guests were having their meals. The pool facilities had some areas closed. We were not informed before our arrival that any of the above would be happening. We were disappointed that the management had not informed us prior to our arrival that the Hotel was going through major refurbishment work. We were also disappointed that there was not an area available for guests to relax in the evening with other guests due to the smell of fresh paint and dust on tables.

We had a fantastic family break. The swimming pool was excellent for my five year old and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms were very spacious and clean. There were a couple of minor jobs that needed fixing in the bathroom such as a wonky toilet seat and a broken plug. The grounds were lovely and the outdoor tennis looked fantastic. The outdoor eating space was glorious in the sun. There were clearly improvements being made to the property at the time of our stay but it did not affect the brilliant time we had there.
