The hotel is located a few strides from the estuary. We had fabulous views from our bay window (room 18) across the water. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Facilities in the room were great, full range of tea, coffee, chocolate and biscuits, including a coffee machine. Hair dryer and iron and ironing board were available. The room was enormous with a very comfy bed and large sofa. We ate in the hotel on both nights of our stay and the food was fabulous, well priced, good portions and very tasty. Great location for lovely walks and the Eskdale Railway.
