Why We Love It

- The hotel holds VisitEngland Gold and Breakfast Awards, and is in a "peaceful location" (The AA) at the foot of the Great Gable and Scafell Massif mountains
- The landscape surrounding the hotel is described as "simply spellbinding" by Lonely Planet
- Derwentwater -- great for lake cruises and walks by the water's edge -- is a 10-minute drive away, and Ambleside Roman Fort is less than 50 minutes' drive away

The menu in the restaurant was very ambitious, but the quality of the food didn't live up to the hype. Very tough and tasteless lamb at dinner and overcooked eggs and cheap tasting coffee at breakfast rather spoilt things for us.

Although the food was very good we no choice of starter, for travelzoo customers the soup was the only only starter unless we upgrade for £10. This was not stated on the voucher.
