 Marco Dudley, United Kingdom - Rest with friends |

|
| Main disadvantages: In the bedroom, we noticed about 20 semi-dead flies spread out on the
window sill, we called reception, a guy came up and said the flies had
been trapped inside after the windows were closed, he offered us to move
into another bedroom, we decided to stay anyway, it was unpleasant but
we decided not to make too much fuss about it. |
| Main advantages: Excellent hotel & facilities, gorgeous & comfy bedroom and bathroom,
kind staff, the breakfast room (and the breakfast itself) was also very
good, would recommend anybody to stay here and would stay again if in
the area, the gardens are also lovely, the hotel is located in a very
quiet area. |

|
| Main disadvantages: Our only negative comment was that the price of wine in the restaurant
was far too expensive. A bottle would have practically doubled our bill.
We noticed only one table in a reasonably full dining room had ordered
wine, so we can't be the only ones to think that a few bottles of house
wine wouldn't go amiss! |
| Main advantages: A fabulous experience! Fascinating old buliding with up-to-the- minute
bedrooms. We were given The Orchard bedroom which was fantastic and
made us feel very special. The staff were extremely pleasant, helpful
and friendly without being fawning - excellent customer care. The food
in the dining room was beautifully prepared and served at a very
reasonable price. Lovely grounds, too, leading down to Furness Abbey.
We will be back! |

| Main advantages: As a couple wanting to spend two nights away we felt that it was
excellent value for money as we got it at a discounted rate. From the
moment we checked in the staff where helpful and polite, the room was
lovely and we were in the new part of the building but it didnt affect
our stay. We had a view of fields and trees. The breakfast was all you
could want with a range of cooked and continental opitions. The grounds
are lovely and its a good location for a range of attractions and local
ammenties. The best thing is when you drive up and see the building
which is stunning and then you walk into a log fire burning away. Also
the bar was relaxing to sit and have a drink in and the food was medium
priced within the bar and really good. I would recommend it and would
like to go back agin. |

|
|
| Main disadvantages: We only realised there were ruins in the park surrounding the hotel by chance. It's not a complaint, just something one would've expected to see advertised on the hotel's web site. |
| Main advantages: We stayed in the new wing, which was comfortable, in excellent condition and with a view on the old building and the park. The breakfast was served in a lovely hall, and the service was excellent. |
