Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though promising a view of the Howgills, was beautifully presented with quality teas and coffees, but the paint cosmetics near the window and TV were not up to par. The service was friendly and provided with good humor and patience, though there were some hiccups with the management. The location, despite being central with nearby walking paths, was noisy from traffic. The dining experience, offering gluten-free options, was excellent, and the facilities were as expected.
The hotel was a cozy base for exploring the hills, with comfortable rooms and thoughtful touches like fresh milk. The service was welcoming and friendly, though management could improve. The location in Sedbergh was grandiose and perfect for a sunny afternoon. The dining experience was excellent but could have had better organization. Overall, a charming stay with room for enhancements.
The hotel offers breathtaking views of the rolling hillside from the rooms, alongside some delightful biscuits. However, the room standard falls short of a 5-star experience. The service was attentive but lacked compensation for mishaps. The location is ideal for exploring and offers a delicious breakfast, yet improvements could be made in the dining service. Facilities are decent with a higher cost for dining and gratuity.
