Regno Unito: hotel con bar nella provincia di Cumbria

Booked in for 1 night to have a rest in some luxurious surroundings after a lot of travelling around the country visiting friends. Hunday Manor is a beautiful old house in a fantastic spot on the side of a hill with a great view. The hotel is very well appointed and the rooms are well looked after. The quality of the food for both an evening meal and the cooked-to-order breakfast was excellent. Perhaps the only facility I would add is a few overnight EV charge points in the car park. The service however was rather comical, starting with check-in. After confirming my name, 1 night stay, and printing out the reservation sheet, somehow the chap on reception muddled up my solo reservation with a couple arriving on the same day who were staying for a couple of weeks and gave me their room. After settling in for a much needed afternoon nap in the very comfortable bed and 'locking' the door on the inside, the rather startled couple walked in having been given a card for the same room. From that point on I never really managed to relax. I offered to move room when I went down for dinner later on, but the chap declined and mumbled something odd about the length of stay and seemed to point at the paperwork suggesting I had signed it making it my mistake! Sigh. Things didn't get a lot better in the restaurant. Myself and another solo traveller were given tables at the back (by the same chap), seemingly to keep us out the way of the couples who arrived later and were seated at the windows. When either of us asked questions about the menu there was lack of understanding about the dishes.. I was then asked around half a dozen times by multiple staff if everything was ok. Meanwhile I could hear one of the couples quitely chatting about their room, no doubt the room I was in. Upon trying to put the bill on my room, the same chap from earlier left me at the bar with a card machine asking whether I wanted to add a tip. At breakfast the next morning it continued. When I arrived the first breakfast room was full of tables needing clearing so I was given a table in the same area where I had dinner. This time given a table at the window but right in front of the only other guest, a lady already eating her breakfast. My table wasn't set so inexplicably the waiter clumsily took a second place-setting from her table while she was midway through eating! After dusting a few crumbs from one of the plates I enjoyed my breakfast. Towards the end of eating the staff were discussing how to rearrange the room for an event later in the day and started moving things around. After hearing the same couple from dinner asking to be told when their room was made available, cleaners were hanging around at the bottom of the stairs when I returned to the room. Nothing like a bit of a hurry up to finish breakfast and get out of your room to make you feel like a valued guest. Upon check-out an apology and a chat but by then the damage was done. No offer to comp a drink (or dinne)r after making a mess of things either. It's a lovely hotel that could offer a real 5-star experience, but the service ended up more like an episode of Fawlty Towers and needs a bit of a rethink. Next stop China.

Ho ottenuto un aggiornamento in una camera più grande, che era molto spaziosa con una zona TV. La stanza era molto pulita e il servizio all'hotel era eccezionale. Mark era molto utile. La zona turistica è a pochi passi. Non si rimpiangerà di rimanere qui.

I have grave misgivings about hotels in the busiest parts of the Lake District, especially at holiday times. Obviously they will be relentlessly overcrowded, with harassed and unfriendly staff. I’ve wanted to go back to the Proper Lake District for a while though so took a risk on the King’s Head. It’s easy to find on the ear popping main road up from Grasmere, just beyond the impressive hulk of Steel Fell, close to Thirlemere. Parking anywhere in the Lakes is hideous and expensive. Not here. Relaxed and plenty of room. It’s a long building with a pleasant bar restaurant area and beer garden. I found a rather pleasant residents lounge where a lady called Jo checked me in and made me feel welcome. It does get busy with passing trade but the staff look after their residents. They flogged me decent real ale and Jura whisky (the proper stuff). Breakfast is briskly table served from a menu and is well presented. I didn’t eat otherwise there but the food is popular and well priced. The road outside is busy and a bit of a racetrack, and the occasional fighter jet roars between the mountains on low altitude practice, but the relentless bleating of the sheep opposite soon returns things to normal. I was a little sorry to depart, but the manager said he hoped I would come again. I believe I will, and will even bring my wife.

酒店緊鄰火車站，地理位置十分優越。途中行李箱拉桿損壞，拖着箱子一路很不便。向前台工作人員借用工具時，對方主動幫忙，蹲在地上耐心幫我修好箱子，全程盡心盡力，讓人倍感温暖。酒店早餐可口，服務也很貼心，有問題提前溝通都能妥善解決，入住體驗非常好。

We booked the Superior Double Room and I felt it was well worth the extra for the gorgeous view we had from 2 large windows - whether the skies were sunny or cloudy. The location was excellent - within 5 to 10mins walk to the town and to Derwent Water and parking was well explained and ample. On entering Fellpack House, it was pleasant, well cared for and inviting. Our room on the top floor (stairs all the way up) was straight out of a home & decor magazine. The amenities, furnishing, towels and beverages were quality stuff and we saw that they also used locally sourced soaps and beverages. Housekeeping was daily and I loved that the gave us delicious chewy chocolate chip cookies each day! The breakfast was fresh & flavourful. That they started off as a restaurant (that operates across the road and is highly rated) carries through in their breakfast - I ate so much and it was worth every calorie! Best of all were the staff. We met many over the course of our stay and every one of them were warm, chatty, highly customer-oriented and witty! Can you tell how much I loved our stay there 😀

Il luogo era fantastico e si trovava in un posto grande, molto vicino a molte strutture come bar e ristoranti, più alcuni negozi. Il personale era così amabile e gentile, ci faceva sentire come se fossimo a casa, la nostra stanza era grande e aveva una vista magnifica sui giardini. La colazione era eccellente e molto buona. In futuro rimarremo certamente qui di nuovo.

La posizione dovrebbe essere quella di uno dei migliori hotel del Lake District. Dopotutto, c'è un molo sotto il giardino dell'hotel, a soli due minuti a piedi. Il terreno è relativamente alto e il panorama è molto bello. La colazione è a buffet, un po' peggiore rispetto a quella di Hillthwaite. L'hotel è ancora in fase di ristrutturazione e ci sono impalcature per lavori edili fuori dalle finestre, che influiscono un po' sulla vista. Tuttavia, la camera è spaziosa e i colori dell'arredamento sono molto accoglienti. Nel complesso mi piace.

Quando arrivai, non c'era nessuno al divano, quindi mi aspettai. La donna che ero un po' ingrassata era lontana da piacere e non sembrava voler essere li'. Non c’era niente spiegato e non c’era un foglio informativo per me per leggerlo nel mio tempo. Quando ho dato la chiave della mia stanza, ho iniziato a camminare attraverso il lobby, ma non ho visto alcun segno per il numero della mia stanza. Tornato al dipartimento per chiedere dove andare per la mia stanza e fu detto “solo seguiamola”. Molto insopportabile e inconveniente, non sicuramente questa signora dovrebbe essere davanti all'hotel. Inoltre, la stanza era bella e ben tenuta/pulita. Ero anche lato del lago, così ho dovuto guardare il sollevamento del sole con la mia coppa mattina. Molto raffreddante vista.

Una stanza molto calda e la colazione è abbastanza varietà.Camminare dalla stazione ferroviaria all'alloggio è una sezione di strada in discesa. Ci sono circa dieci minuti. Il bus è troppo lungo per aspettare, quindi la scelta di camminare è una buona idea.

Ho consigliato molto questo ostello, è una prenotazione di ultima notte, ma si è reso un bel soggiorno. L'ostello è proprio vicino al lago, con vista mistica fuori dalla finestra di mattina. Vicino alla stazione di autobus, conveniente per il trasporto. Inoltre, i miei compagni di stanza sono sorprendenti, tre ragazze da Londra, una dagli Stati Uniti.
