Lakes Hotel and Spa
Lovely stay. Large room. Well appointed public bars and spaces. Only disappointment was the buffet breakfast. The food in the hot service display wasn't replenished frequently enough. Food was left for long periods making the bacon & eggs beyond the capability of a steak knife.

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa
Lovely stay. Great room, very nice breakfast and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. The christmas decorations made the whole stay feel very festive. The kids loved everything about it. The spa swimming pool was a little on the cold side but ok.

The Belsfield Hotel
Everything was very good, but may I suggest that a menu be provided for breakfast. There was nothing in writing to say what was on offer

Fair Rigg by Cradel Haus
Our stay at Fair Rigg was wonderful! We had a lovely relaxing trip, walkable distance to the town but also very reasonable taxi fare into the centre in the evening. Very comfortable stay - lovely modern room and for a fantastic price, thanks again for making us feel so welcome!
