A Great Place To Stay.
This is a very welcoming hotel. Ample on site parking and super dog friendly. Everyone of the staff delivered a high standard of customer service. Food is excellent. We stayed in a standard sized room which was very clean and comfortable. I will return but next time I will go for a larger room as I found the standard sized room bathroom a bit small for my large size frame ( I’m over six feet tall. ).

Wonderful Westmorland hospitality.
Nice real fire in the Bar, so welcome on an Autumn evening. Chats with local regulars.
Beautiful room. Excellent menu and eventual meal plus brilliant choice of wine with no overpricing.
Excellent breakfast to complete our visit.

The welcome was good, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The room had everything in it we needed, but was rather tired, and the bathroom needed some minor repairs. The water was hot whenever we needed it.
The food was excellent.
