10/10
We had a fantastic stay in a great location to meet up with an old friend on holiday in the Lake District. The hotel had a lovely breakfast in the dining room/conservatory and a fantastic menu at the Talbot Bar. The bedroom and bathroom were delightful and spotlessly clean, with a lovely view from the window. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel had enough parking space, which was important for us. We also enjoyed the peacefulness of the location and the pleasant grounds with outdoor seating. The guest lounges inside the building were extensive as well.

Everything was perfect and I couldn't fault a thing. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and had a very comfortable bed. The hotel facilities were top-notch, and I especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast that was included in the price. The location of the hotel was ideal, as it allowed me to easily explore various parts of the Lake District. Whether I wanted to go for a walk, visit a nearby village, or simply relax by the river, everything was within easy reach. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
