"Another of the Lake District's landmark hotels, this whitewashed manor was built as a private residence in the early 1900's and still has the feel of a country house.

It's the epitome of country elegance: antique trunks and armchairs in the lounge, burnished wood and hunting prints in the dining room, views across the croquet lawn from the conservatory. Rooms feel more modern than the rest of the house: insist on one with a lake view, or splash out n one of the indulgent hot-tub suites." The Sunday Telegrapgh February 2013
