We stayed on bank holiday weekend and it was dead. The bar/pub had 3 people in it, there was no background music or atmosphere so was just a little awkward. We moved into the dining room with the intention of having dinner but changed our minds after seeing the condition. The tables appeared to be dressed all differently, I couldn’t figure out if they’d been used by previous customers or not, just presented as untidy and unclean. We sat down on one table after finding 2 chairs with seats that weren’t completely worn down but the cutlery just looked unclean and we thought it best to seek food elsewhere for dinner on both evenings. The lady who seemed to be juggling every job was very pleasant and kind, she just presented as absolutely run off her feet! The kettle in the room was covered in dust and the bathroom was questionable, there was a weird brown mark next to the toilet under the window seal smothered across the wall, on first glance this appeared to be faeces but I think it must have been some sort of sealant that turned brown, we can only hope. The shower was dirty where people stood and there was a long strip plastic hanging off the bottom of the glass which connected to the bath. I’m not sure what to expect from a 3 star but the previous reviews for this place read very well but in reality It’s not a true reflection. We were told we were the only ones staying for breakfast and felt bad for declining so we had breakfast once, it was alright in fairness!

Lovely stay, meal was ok (medium steak was very well done) well presented and good portions. Very nice and welcoming staff. Whether was typical Cumbria but I was there for work so didn’t effect me
