United Kingdom
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This place has become a chic boutique hotel and restaurant, no longer a true Lakes inn. Looks like the interior designer had a field day with the decor and books/ornaments. Food too expensive for an inn in the Lakes - I don’t doubt the quality but felt I was being told to eat healthily and fashionably with pretentious menus and ingredients. No welcoming lounge. To be fair, the bedroom was very comfortable and couldn’t fault the staff.
Negative: The whole approach, as described above.
Summary: Disappointing.
