This stunning venue was in a prime spot/location: not far to travel to local villages/towns (e.g. 20 minute walk to Ambleside). The venue was extra inviting as it was decorated for Christmas. They offered the "Go-Green" scheme: gain a free drink...

Was pleasantly surprised as I had read some not very good reviews but all I can say is they must be talking about a different hotel as we found it great . We just put Good as it wasn’t amazing but it was lovely .. room was warm even with heating...
