Beware check out time.

Be aware of 4pm Check-in and 10 am check out. A bit tight if only staying one night.

6.0

Huge positives: beautiful location, superb views, lovely house, very clean room in very good condition, excellent shower/en suite in very good condition, good breakfast. All deserving of a nine out of ten rating. BUT: we were put on edge by the house rules. Given that this is an expensive B&B we would not expect to be on edge! Different terms were emailed to us after booking. Tight timing/regimented breakfast [8.30 - 9.00]. Room cleaning at certain times - or you miss it! Early check out with surcharges if you were even a little delayed in departure. The negatives brought down our rating - without the negatives the ratings should be 9/10 [although an expensive B&B].

Avoid this place.

2.0

At GBP200 per night, this place should be avoided. Bed uncomfortable, location inconvenient but the main issue is the stupid rules they impose (not mentioned at the time the property was booked, I might add). Breakfast only served within a 30 minute window (0830-0900) on weekdays and 45 minutes on weekends (0830-0915). Takeaway food is totally forbidden on the premises (penalties and expulsion threatened). Yet they don't offer food themselves after breakfast. They do offer to serve you a drink from the bar but you have to ring a number as the place isn't staffed most of the time. These people should not be hospitality sector operators. On the plus side, bathroom great, wifi decent but it should only be used as a last resort. Definitely not wheelchair friendly for those that need that.

Lovely place

10.0

Been before, came back.. very nice rooms, with fresh cake provided in your room each day. We were in the annex, which has it's own lounge - very nice. Walks to Wray Castle and up onto the hills right outside the door, with details of several walks provided in the hotel. More breakfast than I could eat, really recommend the cumbrian breakfast though..
