The hotel is in a stunning location between two mountains with breathtaking views from all angles. It's right on the Coast to Coast route in the lovely Lake District area, opposite a charming beer garden. The rooms offer great views of the hillside from the ground floor, although not in the bedrooms, with about 6 tables and very good en suite facilities. The service is top-notch with quick service, including housekeeping and a welcoming drink. The dining experience, except for the tasteless bacon, features some vegan dishes. The facilities are well-kept and convenient for guests.
