Cottages in South Lakeland District

"Unfortunately we didn’t have a great time at woodlands because the noise from whatever was below us (possibly the kitchen?) was bad. We were woken up at 7am both days by loud talking, fans, banging etc. Noise from the room above and rooms around due to poor building quality. Also staff took breaks outside our window and were sometimes quite loud. They would smoke and it came in through our window. Breakfast and the service at breakfast was very good though. "

"Really enjoyed our stay. Staff vey helpful, especially on reception. Our rooms were very clean and spacious, with comfy beds and views over the river. Very centrally located hotel with parking. "

"Room was clean and refurbished but let down by the bathroom The toilet was badly located and toiletries insufficient ( particularly as there was nowhere to shower in spa) due to no changing rooms being available Parts of the hotel have been refurbished and are lovely although often just superficial but the other parts are very tired and and unloved. Spa - the areas which were available were very good and clean but again doors were lacking in cleanliness and if you look closer corners are missed and left unclean Breakfast - was ok choice was fair but coffee was extremely poor. All staff who we interacted with were very pleasant and friendly - particularly Michelle on reception and the lady in spa at 4.30 Overall wonderful location - mainly clean and friendly staff I appreciate there is a lot of refurbishment happening with the spa and infinity pool - but it does appear that other areas are in decline."

"We go away a lot and this is the nicest hotel with the nicest staff we’ve ever stayed at. Cleanliness was spot on and the hotel food is amazing. Special mention to Sid who works at the pub bar who goes out of his way to chat to guests and makes you feel very welcome promoting a relaxing stay. We were pleasantly surprised with the prices of food and drinks. Hot tub worked well, clearly well maintained and keeps its temperature. Don’t hesitate to spend the money to stay here."

"Breakfast was ok but when items ran out they were slow to be replaced, never enough croissants always ran out."

"Excellent food and friendly staff"

"All good on all fronts enjoyed our stay."

"When we arrived the reception staff was so lovely. We were travelling with my 10 month old son and they were so kind and attentive to him. It was so appreciated. The room was great, nice big bed and a cot for my baby. I like that the shower was separate from the bath too. I used the spa. Sauna and steam room are great and the changing rooms were clean and well equipped "

"A beautiful hotel and we were well looked after from start to finish. The Staff were friendly and helpful, rooms are exquisitely furnished. Breakfast was treat !"
