Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a stunning view of the harbor from the rooms with a good bed and breakfast arrangement on the dressing table. The rooms are well-equipped and comfortable, though the price could be a concern. The service is top-notch with typical Cumbrian hospitality and excellent room service.
The hotel offers a great view over the harbor and the rooms have an old wardrobe, making for a charming stay. The service is excellent with typical Cumbrian hospitality. The location is ideally near the port with attractive views over the harbor, and the dining, although included, could be improved with more variety. Overall, a comfortable and character-filled choice, though slightly pricy.
