Hotel a 4 stelle in Cumbria, Regno Unito

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.

Rum Doodle, well it was our first time at The Lakes and it certainly won't be our last! The location was just right with being part way between Windermere town and Bowness and was walkable to both. There were plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in walking distance as well as lake Windermere itself. We found Rum Doodle with ease and was greeted at the door with a smile and friendly man (the owner but didn't catch his name). We were bought a fresh glass of apple and orange juice to our room which was refreshing after a long drive to Windermere. Our room was comfy, not too big or too small, a wardrobe, seating in the bay window, hairdryer, hot drink making facilities, wine glasses with cork screw and bottle opener. Very modern, clean and well presented bathroom with soft and fluffy towels, and a really nice shower. The bed was very comfortable and welcomed after a busy day exploring the surrounding area. Breakfast was really good with cereal, fresh fruit and yogurt, toast, and then a choice of breakfast which were great too. We had a pleasant and informative chat at breakfast with the lady that works there who gave us the heads up on some driving routes to try and avoid which was really useful. After a day out exploring we went back to Rum Doodle to a cleaned room and freshly made bed with the tea and coffee replenished, so we were able to just drop and the bed with a nice cuppa and biscuit. Then out for a walk, some lovely food and a couple of drinks. We couldn't recommend The Lakes and Rum Doodle enough! Well worth every penny

the room a bit small but the breakfast is super value excellent service. Transport not convenient without a car. Very difficult to get a taxi sometimes to return to hotel.

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 😀

1. La posizione dell'hotel è buona. La strada per il porto della barca è anche in dieci minuti. Il ristorante vicino è molto numeroso e la cena è molto conveniente. La stanza è grande, c'è anche una sala da soggiorno, inaspettatamente, ma la sala è vicino al letto, vicino alla strada, alcune stronzate di mattina e sera, soprattutto la velocità della macchina inglese è generalmente più veloce, da prestare un'attenzione leggera. Il colazione è il latte di grano di yogurt preparato in anticipo, alcuni nel frigorifero, alcuni nel serbatoio, non aspettare troppo. 2.Se viene da solo, vuoi una carta di parcheggio con la reception, tre sterline al giorno, un parcheggio illimitato, ci sono diversi posti che possono essere parcheggiati, in realtà è molto conveniente.Quando si parte, è possibile guidare prima al parcheggio, e quando si torna, si può mettere la scatola e la carta di parcheggio sulla reception.

Un hotel meraviglioso in una grande posizione. Il colazione scozzese completo gratuita con servizio completo è stato l'accento delizioso e bellissimo presentato. Il personale era sorprendente, la camera era spaziale, e ci siamo apprezzati molto bene il nostro soggiorno.

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.

Molto piacevole, anche se il piccolo timone è completamente sporco in una stazione conveniente vicino alla stazione. Ogni mattina è ricco e dopo colazione dovremo chiederci dove andiamo oggi?Sai come andare?Il loro servizio è super entusiasta.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stafford Guest House. The property is beautiful, set within peaceful surroundings and complemented by a lovely garden. We stayed in the four-poster bedroom, which was spacious, tastefully decorated, and perfectly balanced comfort with a touch of luxury. It also offered delightful views overlooking the garden. Our hosts were exceptionally welcoming and friendly, providing engaging conversation as well as helpful local recommendations. Everything was clearly explained upon arrival, making the entire experience smooth and effortless from the very beginning. Breakfast was both delicious and generous in portion. Additionally, there is a charming village pub just a short walk away — The Boot & Shoe Inn — which added to the experience. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

酒店位於小鎮上，小鎮不大，就兩三條主街，酒店在街角邊，也不吵。過個馬路就是公交站，坐公交15分鐘到湖邊，那邊很繁華，店會更多，想坐快艇的要提前預約。 風格是那種比較傳統的英式，硬裝甚至有點法式的感覺，房間和衞生間都是大大的窗户，白色紗窗，衞浴五金質感也很好。這個房間還有一個門可以直接出去，很方便。 就是工作人員不多，早餐預留半個小時吃，有三個套餐可選，冷盤，熱餐之類的。 退房的時候前台沒人，把鑰匙放在前台桌上的收納盆裏，行李放到了前台邊上，後面被工作人員收到了後廚保管，還是很貼心的。
