Plussat: The location and that the hosts went the extra mile in helpfullnes. For example, when we left before breakfast was served, we were given a picnic to take with us.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very warm friendly welcome, our room was a good sized triple room with fresh beds and enough space to comfortably relax while waiting for the rain to pass. The B&B is quite close to the town centre, and to main shops, in a beautiful period house. We are planning to stay there again next year when stopping in the Lake District.

Miinukset: No real downside - the B&B is on a main road but it is quiet at night and we had no problem parking even in mid August.

Plussat: Very friendly. Excellent breakfast. Very good location

Plussat: Everything, excellent hospitality, beautiful clean house, lovely full English breakfast.

Miinukset: Having to leave.

Plussat: Wonderful host in a beautiful house, we had a lovely suite, food was delicious and a great location to head out and explore the lake district from

Plussat: Beautiful property and rooms, spotlessly clean and a wonderful host. We had a hike for charity and the host even made the effort to put up a little takeaway breakfast in the morning for us (as we had to get up super early). Fantastic stay and we will definitely recommend to others.

Miinukset: No complaints.

Plussat: We love the Lake District and were glad to be able to stay at Crosby B & B. Everything was very good and we hope to return in a couple years to Scotland/England and perhaps stay again at your place. Thank you, Linda & Kenny Boles

Miinukset: Everything was just fine.

Plussat: Lovely room and bathroom. Great to come and go as you please. Ordering breakfast the night before meant for smooth mornings.

Plussat: Everything, The property was so comfortable,beautifully decorated and very clean and well presented. Nothing was too much trouble.We had a fantastic time . Thank you

The breakfast was fresh, tasty and plentiful. Great cook. Can’t thank you enough for a lovely welcoming stay. Would recommend this B&B 100% will definitely be back! Thank you Sophie and Josh

Plussat: Friendly welcome, good chose for breakfast and very peaceful

Plussat: This house is just perfect you'll want to buy it! It's very close to the shops, bars and restaurants. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We were at Kendal Calling and the very lovely Dawn even offered to wash some bits for us. The beds are very comfy and the breakfast is to die for, it a 10 from me. Thank you so much Dawn, we loved every minute of our stay with you:)

Miinukset: It was perfect, there's nothing not to like!

Plussat: This place provides a traditional English pub experience with modern creature comforts and terrific pub grub.

Miinukset: The only complaint was about the shower setup whereby I scalded myself before mastering the process

Plussat: Loved the rural country pub feel so close to the M6. Great bar with excellent food and staff. The room was very clean and tidy with great facilities. Perfect for a last minute stop over or even a few weeks holiday.

Miinukset: Thicker biscuits please

Miinukset: All good.

Plussat: Lovely room. Fantastic food

Miinukset: Nothing. Was great.

Plussat: Spotlessly clean, in a brilliant location,best breakfast ever, and lovely owner

Plussat: very good location, excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: It was very hot and I found it difficult to sleep. It may have been better to have a separate sheet as well as the duvet cover so just the sheet could be used when it is hot.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, well situated in Penrith. Very comfortable bed, great assortment of coffee/tea/etc. The breakfast options sounded superb, but I was attending an event and had to skip it. Plan to repeat this place to try it.

Plussat: Beautiful room, separate toilet /shower which was amazing. Fab breakfast and our hosts were lovely. Well done Albany House.

Plussat: Susan (owner) was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely superb breakfast. Room was big, clean and comfortable with a peaceful garden view. Bathroom (not en-Suite) was clean and everything worked as it should.

Miinukset: Can't think of anything

Plussat: Great location,close to all shops,pubs and restaurants. Archie was very helpful in sorting some extra parking for us as we needed to catch a train and required an extra days parking. The hosts could not have been more helpful and we will stay again next time we go to Penrith. I can thoroughly recommend this property.

Miinukset: Nothing everything was perfect

Plussat: Lovely room and the breakfast was delicious! Easy check-in and a short walk into town with restaurants and pubs!

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Our hostess was lovely and helpful. Our rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated and comfortable. There were many thoughtful touches (such as homemade brownies on the tea tray!). Breakfast was absolutely delicious!

Miinukset: Some of the lightbulbs in my mother's room were not functioning.

Plussat: Good location in town centre (and nice Italian restaurant just round the corner!). Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast - a large helping of 'Full English'. Friendly host.

Plussat: Great Breakfast ,ideal location great room .

Miinukset: the rain, but that's on one's fault.

Plussat: Very clean and wonderful facilities

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: excellently located, practical, efficient,and reasonably priced Stand out, The Duty Manager was outstanding In the short period we were there we spotted her supervising the housekeeping staff assisting in the dinning with breakfast, and then checking customers out at the desk A real doer, and all done with a gracious pleasant manner Roger Corbett

Miinukset: The staff

Plussat: We were unable to take breakfast on this, our second visit as we were disappointed on first acquaintance. We only wanted a continental breakfast and were irritated to find that there was no allowance made for the 60+ to eat little in the morning. On our first visit we fell into this trap (a cup of coffee and a piece of toast were VERY expensive) but, on our return from Scotland, we didn't as we wandered over to the service station for a cheap tub of porridge. Otherwise all was very good indeed and we were especially grateful to Hazel, on Reception, who coul dno thave been more helpful with some administration that had to be completed.

Miinukset: See above. Service in the restaurant was very slow; it was 35 minutes from booking time to when we ordered although food did follow very promptly after that. Our plates were cleared but, after waiting for a follow-up menu for 15 minutes in order to order the desert (there were 3 staff and only 5 tables were occupied...), we left and had coffee in the bar instead. Frankly, being very tired after several hours of driving, this was irritating.

Plussat: Very convenient stopover for journey to Scotland

Miinukset: NothingTenay

Plussat: Location was excellent for a stop off for our trip north. Room was clean and modern, hotel itself was well laid out. Not the cheapest but a few issues arose for us so for us we wouldn’t stop again.

Miinukset: The food, the menu was not really inkeeping for a motorway services. All the dishes on the menu seem to be comprised of ingredients that just didnt go together. I personally tried Duck leg on a bed of sausage and been casserole, the sauce over powered the whole dish. So if your expecting traditional fayre at this hotel you may be very dissapointed.

Plussat: Dinner was delicious and staff friendly.

Plussat: Wonderful food, staff were friendly and efficient and the hotel is extremely dog-friendly (there’s even a designated area where dogs can sit with you while you eat).

Miinukset: Could not find fault with anything.

Plussat: Exceptional comfort, friendly welcome and great food

Plussat: Lovely comfortable room and excellent dinner. I had the haddock and chips and it was the best homemade tartare sauce ever!

Miinukset: The service at breakfast was a bit slow.

Plussat: Anton is a great host

Plussat: . good food in the restaurant. good breakfast. very nice and welcoming staff. nice rooms

Miinukset: the was a problem with the wifi. it was not available in the toom

Plussat: Cosy and spacious quirky accommodation ideally located for stopover, pub food was fantastic

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A peaceful traditional inn with bags of history in a Lakeland hamlet - just off the A6 (and about 5 miles north after taking the M6 Shap turn off). Excellent pub grub and refreshments.

Plussat: Very warm, friendly and welcoming owners and staff. The cabin we stayed in was exceptionally comfortable and cosy. Both Dinner and breakfast we fantastic-very generous portions of excellent quality. Delicious homemade bread for both dinner and breakfast

Miinukset: Not applicable. There was nothing to dislike

Plussat: What a gem. The make your own flavoured cider is a genius idea. Dinner and breakfast outstanding. Our yurt was the loveliest place we have stayed. Huge bed so comfortable, fantastic shower. Simply cannot fault. Anton and Penny are lovely hosts. We stayed with 3 dogs and had a really lovely time. We will definitely be back and and highly recommend. Thank you Strickland arms xx

Plussat: It was a pleasant stay. Staff was friendly. Overall experience was great.

Plussat: Amazing staff, absolutely spotless, I loved everything about it and hopefully I will be back there soon

Plussat: Deep in Lake District, great food: Penny's pies are excellent , kitchen understands what is "medium rare" steak as well and it was great. Very friendly with dogs. We took the huts and they are nicer then in the pictures. Full "thumbs up" from us!

Plussat: We stayed in the family yurt and this was comfortable and easy especially as we had the dog with us. The bed was comfortable and the tea coffee making facilities satisfactory. All of the staff were very helpful, providing anything that was asked for. The food was of good freshly cooked quality, very tasty - we had dinner there in the evening and breakfast the following morning. The pies were especially good. Very dog friendly.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Loads of space, quirky decor, huge double bed, genuinely dog-friendly & super-welcoming staff. Food was yummy too.

Plussat: Excellent location on the edge of town. Good location to break the journey from Wales to Scotland.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Staff were excellent and coped well with a very busy function in the newly refurbished function suite on Sat night, the food was beautiful too.

Plussat: The location was excellent. The gardens and seating area outside the apartment were lovely. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay.

Miinukset: Being a boutique apartment the settes were not very comfortable for sitting on. There was a smell of damp as soon as we entered the apartment, the member of staff said the apartment had just been cleaned but it was throughout the apartment and worse when the doors to the rooms were all closed. Mentioned this to reception who hopefully will address this problem.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast. Comfy room. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: Fantastic fresh breakfast, served with a nice morning smile. The staff could not do enough during my stay.

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent and made to our order. The staff were more than helpful and it was a really enjoyable experience which we hope to repeat.

Plussat: My welcome was warm and friendly. I had managed to hurt my back during my journey and was helped up the stairs to my room by the receptionist who couldn’t have been more helpful. Above and beyond doesn’t begin to cover it. Not only that, but she arranged for food to be delivered almost immediately. She then rang my room and asked if she could remove the tray, thus allowing me to finally be able to settle in for the evening. My room (no. 6) was wonderful, with spectacular views of the countryside. I was stunned to find a four poster bed and the most beautifully appointed ‘Jack and Jill’ en-suite. Breakfast was very impressive, with what looked to be delicious and hearty cooked breakfasts. There were certainly many comments from fellow guests. I myself decided on porridge, and very delicious it was too. I was sad I could only stay one night. However, as I am booked in again for my return journey, I have arranged to spend an extra night to enable me to fully appreciate both the wonderful staff and the facilities on offer. I cannot speak too highly of this privately owned, friendly and well appointed establishment. Simply put, I felt perfectly coddled...❤️

Plussat: We had our own apartment where we were able to cook and make breakfast for ourselves.

Miinukset: There was nothing that we didn't like.

Plussat: the atmosphere comfort excellent food very relaxing beautiful scenery staff very welcoming will look forward to returning

Miinukset: we loved everything it had to offer

Plussat: Great location. Lovely clean rooms and very friendly staff.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing

Plussat: Comfy bed, pillows and duvet.

Miinukset: As we had a dog we couldn’t eat in the normal breakfast room. Despite booking a table and being told that this room is designed for guests with dogs. We were in a room on our own, we had to ask to be seen and were made to walk the entire length of the hotel to get a drink from the breakfast buffet

Plussat: Good location. Generally friendly staff.

Miinukset: WiFi doesn’t work in hotel, which is a consideration for booking in the area. Breakfast order was overlooked by kitchen and had to leave it when it came due to time. Hot water in room was not sufficient for shower

Plussat: Everything complete pack age

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: The location is stunning

Miinukset: The rooms were clean but very basic and paying £200 for the room itself wasn’t really worth it

Plussat: Food was good, but not brilliant. The location is really beautiful, and even though the weather wasn't that good, there are some spectacular views and walks.

Miinukset: Spa / pool facilities would have added to the experience.

Plussat: Spacious bedroom and bathroom

Miinukset: Bathroom looking a little tired, silicon sealant could do with refreshing

Plussat: Beautiful setting on the edge of the lake.

Plussat: Fantastic hotel, stunning location, friendly staff and a nice breakfast too

Plussat: Plenty of cold buffet food which was delicious and varied.

Miinukset: The hot breakfast was a little inconsistent in appearance and taste over the two mornings

Plussat: Stunning location!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Where to start? Quite simply, an experience that left myself and my new wife totally over-awed. We arrived at 2pm, slightly early, and were told we had been upgraded. I have been upgraded before. But this was not what we expected at all. We were taken to one of the hotels cottages, about 100 yds from the main hotel, and with a panoramic view of the lake. Literally called The Cottage, the accommodation was immaculately furnished and was pet friendly, as our golden retriever was to almost 'comment' later. We were exhausted after a trip down from Loch Lomond, and previously Scourie, North West Scotland, so we wanted a complete rest. We ordered room service for breakfast the following morning, with a copy of the Times, and were fully intending to dine in the hotel until our puppy made it clear that things were not all well with him, (fatigue, mainly). The kitchen cooked special chicken and rice as is the pre-requisite for puppies in this condition (use your imagination), and unfortunately when he had an accident the staff were more than brilliant about it. After a very disturbed night with him, and at least five trips out to the beautiful gardens in the night, we decided to leave the following morning, a day early, but with a very heavy heart. On hearing our situation, the hotel waived the 2nd night charge, and we were on our way at 9am, and I can report that all is well with Compo, the retriever, our ring-bearer at Gretna Green. I understand this used to be a Michelin 1 star until some years back. I wish it every success for the future on behalf of myself and the new Mrs Durdant-Hollamby, and am only sorry that our stay did not 'stay' the course. But until next time, carry on the magnificent service and old-fashioned values, and next time we will make full use of all the marvellous facilities! Until next time!

Miinukset: Our Golden retrievers health. It's not possible to say what could have been better as we didn't get the chance to find out. The way everything was done was so special, and I trained professionally in the 70's to do this sort of thing, so it is a qualified opinion.

Plussat: All was perfect

Plussat: Stunning peaceful setting. Excellent food with wonderful view across lake from our window table. Superb bathroom with rolltop bath in centre and walk through rainfall shower.

Miinukset: Original room but quickly sorted out.

Plussat: Good breakfast, but would prefer to select own cereal or fruits.

Plussat: It’s in a fantastic location

Miinukset: No leisure facilities

Plussat: Extensive and comfortable sitting areas; spacious bedroom; attentive staff and locations

Miinukset: Would have liked a drinks bar in bedroom

Plussat: Perfect. Stunning views, delightful walks, attentive staff and sumptuous food. What's not to like?

Plussat: Fabulous view across the lake from rooms and dining. Lovely garden. Fantastic food both dinner and breakfast

Miinukset: Service was incredibly slow at dinner. Not sure if that was on purpose but took two hours. Probably ok if you are in a group but a bit long otherwise. I also sat 20 minutes in the lounge before dinner before being noticed. The food was worth it though. Every mouthful was superb

Plussat: Wonderful location, fantastic country house atmosphere, enthusiastic staff, great food. And an interesting wine list! Perfect for our special occasion .

Miinukset: Minor issue-plumbing noises in the night.

Plussat: I liked everything about this hotel. I will definitely go back there again.

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn't like.

Plussat: Charming old Inn

Plussat: Comfy and clean! Food AMAZING. Staff very friendly

Miinukset: Slightly over priced as rooms very basic, but clean. Other places in the area much nicer rooms for less money.

Plussat: All of the staff were welcoming and friendly. We received a call during the day to see if we would like table booked for the evening. The food was excellent and highly recommended. This can also be said about the breakfast, which was plentiful.

Miinukset: Nothing springs to mind, we had a pleasant stay and will be booking again sometime in the future.

Plussat: Once the unbelievably loud blues band had wrapped up, the place had a relaxed vibe. Dinner was delicious and the serving staff excellent.

Miinukset: I was shocked at the attitude of the proprietor when I mentioned I lived in Scotland. ‘Don’t mention that, you’re in Cumbria now, Scotland’s the enemy’. This attitude was repeated at breakfast, along with groan-inducing mimicking of our Australian accents. In 12 years living in Scotland, having stayed at many accommodation establishments, I have never seen the same attitude directed towards English guests. Also, we requested a twin but were given a double (could have been poor communication from booking.com, in fairness) and the mouldy grouting in the shower really should have been seen to.

Plussat: Friendly & welcoming, good room, big comfortable bed & great shower. Food good (best to book as very popular). Breakfast good too. Very dog friendly & considerate of our nervous dog, which was appreciated. Lovely village, close to lakes but without the crowds.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: A wall mounted shower would have been good.

Plussat: Love the homely atmosphere and great food, an incredibly chilled place to stay.

Plussat: The staff were hard-working and friendly. The food was excellent. Real ale. Interesting pub/hotel in a small, beautiful village.

Plussat: Food was excellent. Great place to eat in the evening. The wine is lovely.

Miinukset: Be a good idea to have some veggie sausages on hand for vegetarians.

Plussat: Friendliness of manager and staff

Plussat: Absolutely great place.

Miinukset: Was overcharged as the girl who checked me out couldn’t work the till and therefore did not honour the £15 charge for dinner as advertised on the confirmation b

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The hotel is very queit and relaxing.

Miinukset: The bathroom had a broken toilet seat and the drain of the shower was a bit blocked.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and helpful, stayed before the refurbishment, but now it's being done its excellent, will definitely be back,

Plussat: Excellent bed. Excellent breakfast. Excellent staff.n

Miinukset: No view in room 7. Quite small so no room for a comfy chair to watch tv. No shower gel although there was shampoo and conditioner. Stayed four nights but room serviced only once.

Plussat: Very useful location.

Miinukset: Please be aware of pub's check in window. Despite forward request of later arrival, which was kindly accepted as within opening hours, communication hiccough caused avoidable stress, after a long journey.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable rooms. Good food

Miinukset: Room on the front overlooking main road was noisy with traffic passing by.

Plussat: room was massive and lovely bathroom, and comfy beds. décor throughout was well done and spotlessly clean everywhere. check-in was friendly and efficient. food was great - Lamb Henry was beautiful. good choice for breakfast

Miinukset: nothing. we were expecting a pub with rooms and got far more than that

Plussat: Good food, very good quality ingredients. Nice big, warm, room. Plenty of hot water. Plenty of space.

Miinukset: Could do with better drying facilities if C2C walkers are their market. Probably another staff helping would have been better on the night.

Plussat: Impeccable breakfasts, cooked with care by Morgan. Friendly staff, especially Seb and Fergus and Imogen Comfortable bed and pillows Delightful evening meal

Miinukset: I could have done without the rather lively cockerel who greeted the mornings in what seemed like unnervingly close proximity to the window of our room [having slept with the window open]. Otherwise, our room was quiet, if the noise from the electrified railway, which runs throughout the night just behind the hotel, is discounted. Obviously, both these issues could have been solved by closing the window, so it is just an observation.

Plussat: Comfy, clean room, plentiful supply of tea, coffee etc and posh biscuits. I am v fussy about my poached eggs and even though one was broken, I accepted the apology and breakfast was still ’eggcellent’!

Miinukset: All good!

Plussat: Staff very friendly and lots of extra little touches in the room. Very pleasant stay.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was the perfect location for access to a day pass to Centre Parcs. The room was good and so was the breakfast. Perfect for our needs.

Miinukset: The toilet seat was inclined to close too enthusiastically! :-)

Plussat: Location Nice breakfast room

Miinukset: The carpet was old and not clean off the entryway The carpet in our room wasn’t clean either and our bathroom needed a better cleaning. Parking was in the back and the area we had to walk through to get to the house was a mess. When we checked out we could see the kitchen. There was an overflowing trash container and unfortunately things didn’t look very clean there either.

Plussat: The beds were vert comfortable

Plussat: Friendly host, clean room, and a great breakfast.

Plussat: Ticked all the boxes.... clean and comfy... excellent breakfast

Plussat: Handy for town centre.Room clean and airy.Bed comfortable

Miinukset: Owner not very helpful. Arrived to no light in internal bathroom which took owner 3hrs to fix and when fixed very dull. Shower was awful.Tv in bedroom a waste of time as far too small to watch . Scrambled eggs were poor and on cheap bread. Wouldn't stay here again as far too expensive for services received.

Plussat: Lovely stay Helen very welcoming and accommodation exceeded our expectations. The breakfast was very good and I would not hesitate in recommending a stay at the White House. Very close to many places of Interest. Thank you Helen for a lovely stay

Miinukset: Nothing everything was very good and exceeded our expectations

Plussat: Highly recommend. Superb breakfast. Lovely hostess.

Plussat: Room clean Location for motorway good.

Miinukset: Room very very small. Just room for the bed and my bag on the floor. Bathroom down the corridor, not good. Towelling robe to wear to the bathroom was fleece, uncomfortable. Breakfast only average although fresh brewed coffee and fresh raspberries with blueberries saved the day. Would have been nice if owner or family member was there to greet guests rather than leave an envelope with keys in the porch. £55 too much for this room.

Plussat: Very good, cooked fresh for each individual

Miinukset: .

Plussat: Pleasant location and lovely host.

Miinukset: Rear single room near to M6 motorway

Plussat: Great breakfast. Well cooked, quality produce and generous portions. Excellent coffee and extras (yoghurts and fruit) Liked the lounge with books and local info.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Warm hospitality; very clean and well appointed room; tasty breakfast; relaxed stay.

Plussat: At the top end of the bed and breakfast category - the rooms were terrifically comfy, the host was wonderfully friendly and informative, and the breakfast was top notch! Your gateway to the joys of Cumbria - would definitely stay here again!

Miinukset: Bathroom needs a proper shower

Plussat: i didn't realise that i was booking an hotel in a village that was purposefully built. the room was great and spacious. the solitude of the surrounding area was very welcome

Plussat: Appliances in the property not well enough maintained. For example ice compartment of fridge was jammed close therefore not usable.

Miinukset: Maintenance of kitchen appliances not good.. Microwave oven worked but was placed too high for a person less rhan 5'11" to use safely whe handling hot foods or liquids. The ice compartment of the fridge had been so poorly mended it could not be used.

Plussat: Stayed in a suite, lovely room having the benefit of kitchen area. Fridge always good and microwave. Used swimming pool and jacuzzi which was great a good size

Miinukset: Bit impersonal, staff didn't make much effort to communicate. Toiletries not replaced when empty. Not sure how the small tubes were supposed to last two people three days. Was surprised with free WiFi that we couldn't use our firestick to stream films. We had breakfast included, was OK but could have been better. Wasn't very hot, just one slice of toast with cooked breakfast. Not quite what you expect for the price.

Plussat: The room very spacious and comfortable. Alot of the times you can feel very enclosed especially when the bedroom, lining area, kitchen and bathroom are all in one room. Our room was the Fell view room and did not feel enclosed at all. It was spacious, comfortable and very cosy. A credit to the architects for the design. The view was splendid and even though it rained pretty much all weekend, it was still excellent with fresh air and the mountains and fell in the distance.

Plussat: Well situated for visiting the Lake District and close to main road links.

Miinukset: Breakfast wasn't available until after 8.30 am, which is sligtly on the late side for anyone wanting get a good start in the mornings.

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful. More menu options , particularly vegetarian should be made available in the restaurant.

Plussat: Swimming pool. Food in restaurant basic but excellent.Staff all very pleasant and helpful.Room very comfortable liked the balcony.

Miinukset: No glasses in kitchen.no air conditioning.breakfast times were very confusing.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Too early check out

Plussat: Location, quietness, room.

Miinukset: Very few breakfast choices. Even meals in the restaurant were too pricey for the quality.

Plussat: Eat in Restaurant at night they have a great bar with Friendly staff but so sad

Plussat: Manager was very friendly and accommodating . He could not do enough for us. I would defo lately stay again if the price was right for a couple if nights.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Very friendly stuff in a very comfortable stylish place to stay for a few days. Breakfast was great as well.

Miinukset: No car park, but the public one opposite does not charge overnight,

Plussat: Location and space

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The food portions were huge and it was friendly and comfortable in the restaurant/bar area.

Miinukset: The room we stayed in wasn’t attached to the Inn and could have done with being cleaned a bit better. The stairs to the room were not hoovered at all while we were there. The room had a very creaky floor which became annoying after a while and there was an odd smell in the bathroom. Also, there was not much space to put your toiletries on. There was a huge hanging rail but there were only 3 coathangers on it. There was an iron and ironing board in the room which is handy as you can’t hang your clothes up. The shower was very powerful and the bed was comfortable.

Plussat: Great rooms comfy beds plenty of milk in flasks and freindly helpful staff.

Miinukset: Parking limited

Plussat: Staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient.

Miinukset: The weather

Plussat: Gorgeous location and the terrace was wonderful to sit out in the sun. Food and drink was lovely and the room was nice and comfortable.

Miinukset: Just that we couldn't get the tv to work and possibly the parking as we had to park down the road, but that's looking for a fault.

Plussat: Nice to have fresh milk and a teapot in the rooms. Very nice and clean. Interesting shops.

Miinukset: A bit more of an varied menu with local produce, other pubs in the area had more interesting dishes

Plussat: Everything good, parking difficult.

Miinukset: Parking

Plussat: Superb breakfast cooked to order, worth the wait!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful restaurant and pool

Miinukset: Poor first room, beware of basic standard rooms. Was told that the ‘best rooms are advertised not the worst’ by reception- we were most definitely in the worst prior to being moved. Then even when moved to a new updated signature room, the linen was dirty. Expensive for what we got.

Plussat: Nice room and hotel with lakes not far from it

Miinukset: There was no Air conditioning

Plussat: An excellent stay. The place is extremely clean and has the prefect blend of modern and old-looking style. The Spa and Gym facilities were superb. The evening restaurant was most enjoyable also. WIFI worked well too.

Miinukset: The bath robes costing of £25 Wish breakfast was included.

Plussat: Nice modern and clean hotel

Miinukset: Had to wait for coffee both mornings which I ordered and not seen it yet. Also had to remind staff that toast was also ordered. I think was not enough staff on shift at breakfast to handle the amount of customers

Plussat: Very clean and easy to find

Miinukset: Very expensive for what it is

Plussat: Good restaurant

Miinukset: Very expensive for what it was. Room was small. And far too warm even with the fan on all day. Very little space even for just two people. Staff were blunt and rather rude in the hotel.

Plussat: Easy to find. Nice place.

Plussat: Had a few days in Penrith to enjoy the glorious Cumbrian countryside. The North Lakes as a hotel is all about the interior: from the outside it's rather unprepossessing but, once you're in the door, it's a lovely place to stay. The staff were really friendly, the room very comfortable, and the spa and pool facilities excellent. I had a very nice evening meal in the café area, where the staff were very attentive without it being cloying, and the breakfast (and breakfast room) were a great way to start the day.

Miinukset: The bathroom tap was dripping a bit, but that's hardly a major gripe.

Plussat: Location is great, bed and breakfast got the job done. It's a very average hotel, I'm just very surprised that it is so expensive for what you get.

Miinukset: The car parking spaces are a bit tighter than usual. I didn't even know that was possible but everybody seemed to be having problems getting in and out of the carpark. I even seen a driver bump into another car. The bathroom was not as good as I expected: the shower was weak and the sink was blocked up. There was an underlying smell of sewerage (room 202). The breakfast is not very good. Everything is a bit stale. And it is very slow: there was never anybody available to seat me when I arrived and they wouldn't let me just pick my own seat and approach me afterwards. It was a bit weird. Unfortunately it's not like there are any alternatives, it's quite a long walk to any local breakfast places.

Plussat: The whole appearance of the interior of the hotel was excellent. From the outside it does not appear to be anything spectacular but the inside is well laid out, clean, well decorated and has lovely wooden ceilings in the lobby and dining areas. The breakfast was good with a reasonable selection. We dined in the evening which, while is wasn't cheap, was very good. The room was clean and well decorated with good co-ordination and nothing that appeared old or worn out. The bathroom was clean but could benefit from slightly more attention to the wash basin taps. The Spa area was very good, plenty of space for changing, ample showers and a good sauna. We didn't use the steam room so cannot comment. The swimming pool, while not huge, was lovely and warm and inviting.

Miinukset: A little more attention to service on the tables at breakfast would be helpful and attention to detail with small things like bathroom taps, door stoppers and holders for soap dispensers (these were broken in the toilets off the main lobby). These are only small complaints but they do detract from the overall good image of a hotel. It was certainly a shame that such details took the shine of the otherwise well run North Lakes.

Plussat: Despite the weather, which turned whilst we were there the staff and facilities were excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing :-)

Plussat: My husband and I like to stay at the north lakes hotel because it is a wonderful halfway point when we are travelling down south and we know we will be given first class service. We also enjoy the homely log fires etc. This Hotel gives us everything we expect from a Hotel.

Miinukset: On arrival we sometimes feel that some areas are fully occupied with business people on mobiles and computers treating these areas as they would an office.

Plussat: the spa facilities were excellent and the staff were very helpfull and good parking facilities.

Miinukset: I thought £145 for room only was expensive and that the bedroom and bathroom should be updated for that sort of money. Also the breakfast service could be more efficient

Plussat: Nice, clean, good quality hotel with good facilities including, of course, the Pool and Spa. Kids room with Wii, PS2, Pool table, Air Hockey and boarad games was a nice addition. The room was very well appointed with a very high quality bathroom and nice furnishings. TV had a number of Sky channels. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Miinukset: Room was a little noisy, not so much in the night but certainly in the morning when people were in the corridor outside. I wouldn't let this put me off returning though.

Plussat: Very nice welcome and all the staff tried very hard to make the stop enjoyable. Chap who sorted our bikes into the store was excellent and smiled away even in the rain. Loved the place and will be back again. Perfect start to our long weekend away. Spar very good and kids loved the games room.

Miinukset: Think some of the meals were too expensive - ended up eating out as young family of four - too much for a short break.

Plussat: It was all lovely

Miinukset:

Plussat: Immediate email response to request for dinner reservations

Miinukset: somewhat impersonal

Plussat: Being upgraded to a suite

Miinukset: I thought the food in the restaurant was a bit disappointing, it wasn't as good as I'd have expected. My duck was pretty tasteless and the scallops were drowning in cheese and fat.

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: swimming

Plussat: Loved the big upstairs community area!

Plussat: The red squirrel and the finches

Plussat: Staff were super friendly, very thorough and helpful! Room was warm and clean and the bed was actually surprisingly comfy :) showers and toilets tidy, clean. Loved the lounge area, with a bit of fire and comfy couches. For a hostel, food was great too. Honestly can’t say anything bad about this place! Definitely coming back here on my next adventure! Thank you :)

Plussat: Good value

Miinukset: Snorer in the dormitory

Plussat: The Staff, were very helpful and friendly. Room 11 had a magical view

Miinukset: I loved my stay!!! If I was being picky the shower near room 11 was a little temperamental, but other people seem to make it work ok

Plussat: Excellent staff ,rooms comfortable beds and warm and cosy

Plussat: Facilities for cooking quiet atmosphere
