Not worth the money

2.0

Breakfast wasn't included. Decor was very dated and in very poor condition. Carpets were filthy

Just about everything apart from the dining room, the food was really good

Close to Cockermouth

Room has not been hoovered, spiderwebs everywhere, between 3 people we had ONE towel and a one toilet roll. When asked for a towel been told they are wet and not ready for us. Had to ask for a new bedsheet as the one we had was NOT CLEAN.

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. Refund is absolutely needed.

I liked nothing. By far the worst place I’ve ever stopped at.

Blood stains in shower, bed not changed(covered in hairs & stains), definitely hadn’t been cleaned in months, cobwebs and attic roof left open which was creepy and the place just absolutely stunk.
