Independent "There’s archery, clay pigeon shooting, tennis courts and even photography courses on offer here, as well as the usual gorgeous Lake District walks right on your doorstep. The dog can join you."
Independent "Set in 400 acres of private woodland, the hotel’s interiors, particularly in the main hall, are original and grand: sweeping staircases, open fireplaces...rooms themselves are neat and unfussy."
