In summary, we will be back, but to stay in their best room.
We stayed on the 19th April for one night. Even though some booking websites said we couldn't stay for one night, the owners are obviously flexible.
We stayed in room 11 which is classed as a 'larger comfy' and was exactly that.
Althought the room was an odd, triangular shape, it was much larger than other hotel rooms for the same price (£130).
We had decided to eat out, as our plan was to enjoy a walking weekend, so we walked down to Bowness. As advised by the owners, it was only a 20 minute walk (all down-hill to Bowness). When we returned, however, the smells that greated us were amazing. We now wished we had stayed in and ate.
I asked the owner if I could have a look at the best rooms, which he was delighted to do. He said these had been recently refurbished and they looked amazing. Big flat screen TV, king size bed, beautiful furnishings and a bathroom almost as large as our bedroom. However, room number 12 had a tricky spiral staircase down to the separate bathroom that could be tricky for those of a large disposition! The pictures on the website don't do these rooms justice. The other best room (can't remember the number) was out in a courtyard and all on one level, with the same big TV and large bathroom which also had a separate shower, free-standing bath and under-floor heating.
Our recommendation, book at least a larger comfy and then have a look at their best room(s), you won't be disappointed and will invariably re-book.
Our room was nice enough. Nice furnishings, with everything looking almost new. The TV was a bit small (15") and on the wall to the right of the bed, which was a bit awkward to view. Room for improvement here (minor quibble).
The room price included afternoon tea. You can't skip this. The cake was delicious. Also included was morning paper and full english breakfast/cereal/toast/drinks etc. and really set us up for the day. We didn't eat until 6pm that night!
The owners describe this as a restaurant with bedrooms (or something like that). It's clear they pride themselves on their food.
I have promised my wife we will be back for our wedding anniversary next year, staying in an 'Ultimate Comfy Completely Refurbished' room as described on their website. Oh, and we'll be eating in.
Steve.
