The hotel is located in a beautiful and peaceful area, ideal for relaxation. The rooms, while spacious and comfortable, could use a bit more personal touch in the decor. The service was mostly pleasant and helpful, although there were some rude interactions reported. Overall, a lovely place with a few potential improvements.

What a gem of a find! The four-poster bed, jacuzzi, and overall luxurious atmosphere made us feel absolutely pampered. However, the room was tiny and accessed via steep stairs that caught us off guard. Despite these minor setbacks, most aspects of our stay left us in awe.

Rooms

The room was a delightful surprise with the luxurious amenities provided, although on the smaller side and accessed via steep stairs. Still, the overall experience was impressive.

Service

9.0

The service was exceptional, especially after a small room issue. One staff member went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, even creating a dairy-free dessert from scratch. Unfortunately, there was a hiccup with another staff member being rude and unaccommodating.

Location

9.0

The location was fabulous, offering a peaceful escape and stunning surroundings. The village of Dalston nearby and proximity to Carlisle racecourse added to the appeal, even though a second staff member during busy times would have been beneficial.

My stay at the hotel was simply stunning with fantastic charm and personality. If they add flowers and plants, it would be perfect. We felt cosseted with our every possible need considered and delivered on, set in a beautiful location. The experience was truly special. The only downside was the cold and unhelpful service we encountered, which was disappointing.
