    The hotel is lovely and the rooms are very comfortable with plenty of wardrobe space. The bathroom was also very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were knowledgable about the food being served. The evening meal was very nice. The hotel is perfectly situated for the lakes and Hawkshead is such a lovely village and it was nice and quite at this time of year, not much traffic on the roads.
