The room was clean, cozy, and modern with a nice bathroom. They even offer fresh milk for drinks instead of plastic capsules. We enjoyed both the evening meal and breakfast. The food was delicious, although I thought the two red wines I ordered were the same. The breakfast options were fantastic. Overall, the rooms were warm, cozy, and well-decorated, and the food and drinks were tasty with great choices.

Room was cozy, had its own unique character and very clean. The view of lush greenery from the room was a surprise. The USB charging ports in the rooms were a lifesaver, especially since I had forgotten my charging plug. Hotel’s restaurant is located downstairs. They serve well prepared food and drinks from the bar. During my visit, there was live music. The restaurant has seating both indoors and outdoors, making it ideal for events or parties. What stood out the most was the staff’s friendliness and attention to customer care. The breakfast staff, in particular, were prompt and provided excellent table service. Breakfast is available from 8 am to 9:30am. For guests driving in, the hotel provides free car parking, which adds to the convenience. Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting the area.

The Inn was fully booked and we were offered a heated booth outside, before staff realised (due to the time we popped in they could re arrange some seatings for a later booking which meant we could indeed sit inside. Which was fabulous as we had accepted the outside booth, inside was much better for our youngest child and meant we could all sit together. We had a designated server for the tables who was very polite, patient and helpful. Food came out extremely quickly (bearing in mind it was also Christmas eve and full to the brim with diners Most of our table had the Sunday lunch and were rather full afterwards. Our disabled son was allowed to order off menu, Toast, which many places don't allow once breakfast is no longer served. Childrens deserts were a little slower to get to the table (as I say the Inn was extremely busy!! They were scrumptious and worth the wait. The decor was lovely and festive. To conclude, a Lovely space, nice and warm, friendly staff, good food, speedy service, free parking! Well worth a visit. Huge thanks to the wonderful team for making our visit so pleasant. Nearby activities: Aira force Ullswater lake Ullswater steamers Horseriding Kayaking Shops Walkability: Lots of good walks around. Food drinks: Food was tasty. Lots of options for alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. My disabled son is fussy with his food, the server allowed him to order off menu. Maximus ordered Toast, he was asked if he would like jam and butter. (Some places won't allow the ordering of toast after breakfast serving is closed

The room (number 6, though I think they're all decorated the same) was very smart, with modern yet extremely cosy touches. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Staff gave a warm welcome on arrival and were very helpful thereafter. Will definitely be staying here again. Rooms: Rooms are ultra cosy with chic elements throughout. Lots of thoughtful touches like the refrigerator in the hall with fresh milk for teas and coffee in the room. Noteworthy details: The breakfast is nothing less than superb. It is served in the restaurant area between 8 and 9:30. From full English to continental and vegetarian, something for everyone.
