It’s a good hotel location to get to Lake District, free large car park. Friendly greeting at reception on check-in. Should also mention handy EV charger (fast charger) for EV cars (which I used) just off main road. So not only can you recharge your battery but also the cars.

There is plenty of parking there contrary to some of the info I saw. Staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities were good and rooms spacious.and warm. The hotel could do with modernization as it looks tired however it's reflected in the price. My stay was pleasant and I would stay again.
