Nice enough place but ‘help yourself breakfast’ had no tables set up. The room had been used for a function the previous evening, which perhaps was the reason.

Noisy pub below room

There was a party on I. The bar/room below our room and was very shouty and noisy. We had to call reception before they quietens down. This was just before midnight and we were very tired.

Very Basic accommodation

When we got there wanted a card number but only had my phone, so had to leave a £50 deposit until checked out. No where did it mention this when booking or on confirmation email. Booking stated breakfast was included in price but only basic continental. They wanted £12 each extra if wanted full breakfast. This breakfast type should have been stated on hotels.com site. No bed side lamp in rooms so had to get out of bed to turn main light off. Staff was friendly but hotel price was not worth it for the standard of accommodation received and I have stayed in 100s of different hotels during my career.

A good place

The Inn is welcoming. The car park is large. The staff are friendly. The room was comfortable and a nice size for 2 people and suitcases. The bathroom and room are clean.

Mr Potts

Adequate room, comfortable, great food, loads of parking, unfortunately I left before breakfast and allthough I was offered to use the breakfast room for toaster I think a few more options would have been welcomed. Overall no real issues, young lady behind the bar was very helpful and curteous.

We arrived for 1 night on the Friday and the greeting was warm and friendly.The room was lovely and clean and comfortable. We came back down to eat and the food was fine.... the cheesecake was amazing! We had a few games of pool and a few more drinks and all night the service was friendly and attentive. We went upstairs to bed about half 10 and apparently the walls are very thin and we must have been breathing too loudly for the people in the next room who decided to take objection and come out and knock really loudly on the door..... and then decided to wake us up at 6.45 in the morning by banging really loudly on the wall.... not the hotels fault but worth keeping in mind if you dare talk in your room at a considerate volume that it may cause offence and a lack of sleep. The cooked breakfast wasnt worth the money (the sausage was a really weird texture.....), grab yourself a coffee and a couple of bits of toast and go elsewhere. But also we really appreciated the chef allowing us to change our booked time from 9.30 to 9 after our rude awakening from the shire!

Overnight Stop

Clean comfortable room but lacking a wardrobe and draws. Annoying flashing light from a ceiling sensor! Food in the restaurant/bar was excellent.

10/10 Exceptional

Travelling with 4 year old daughter, very good stay, stayed for one night to visit family in Kendal, less than 10 mins drive away, large comfortable room, clean and nicely presented, good sized bed and comfortable, shared bed with daughter, large room was unexpected and ideal for her to play, smart decor throughout, didn't eat in bar so can't comment of food but the continental breakfast included although fairly basic was decent and a good selection of options (cooked breakfast you needed to order and separate charge). Small play park outside was also very nice. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

8/10 Very good

very nice stop off if travelling on M6 as much better than a Travellodge or Motorway motel . Lovely cosy room with all amenities . Only gripe , kitchen closed at 8 which does seem very early , but that is up to them .

Could have been better

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, good linen and there were enough choices at the continental breakfast. I give this review so that the hotel can take steps to rectify what, to us, seems obvious and beneficial for future guests:- No bedside lights, only a harsh overhead bright light. I love to read in bed but it was unfair to keep my partner awake. The duvet would have been right for a winter's day, however, it was a warm summer's evening and it was impossible to sleep with such a thick covering. It just wasn't a pleasant room to be in, overlooking a wall and the other guest's window. Sadly we won't be booking again.

Disappointing breakfast and room.

Staying one night meeting with family. Room was small, nowhere to put a suitcase, no charger in bathroom for toothbrushes of shaver. Meal was more expensive than on website menu. Booked through Hotels.com and described as bed and breakfast, When we arrived breakfast was described as Continental. Cereals, tea, coffee, toast and small shop dry pastries. Told there was yoghurts in fridge, actually 2 only there. Breakfast was from 6am but no staff until 8am, you had to make breakfast yourself. Really disappointed as location is lovely.
