Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a delightful location, close to the lovely town of Cockermouth and with easy access to the Lake District. The rooms offer a comfortable stay with pleasant amenities, but the dining experience could be more varied. The service is excellent, with attentive staff ready to help. A good value for a stay with minor room for improvement in dining options.
This hotel is a gem in the heart of the charming town of Cockermouth. The room with a minute bathroom was a cozy retreat, though some may find it a bit small. The service was top-notch, with a warm welcome drink and helpful directions. Its central location makes it easy to explore the bustling town and enjoy the beauty of the Lake District. The dining experience, especially the beef dishes, was a delightful treat. While the facilities were well-equipped, the lack of certain amenities may be a drawback.
