It was a great shame that the service station has lost its dog friendly indoor seating, I know you say it’s because of difficult dogs but it’s wrong to penalise all dogs and dog owners because of some. It should have a dogs owners and dogs will be asked to leave if they misbehave section. I use to love the fact that there was a large indoor section North bound Tebay was my favourite because of this.

It feels so special despite being a motorway service station. It feel luxurious and I soooooo love the fact that I can stay with my dogs and we are not shoved in a corner. The rooms for pets are still nice please keep these up to date. And the dinning area is also fabulous where dogs can go.

Could have done with breakfast starting earlier. We had to catch the 11.30am boat from Cairnryan which meant we had to leave the hotel by 7.30am AT THE LASTEST. We paid for full breakfast and were told we could have a breakfast bap instead for take away. The staff did make this for us but I was disappointed that we could only have bacon or sausage (which was excellent by the way!) though the value did not equate to what we paid for full breakfast. If we had realised this we would have cancelled breakfast. A takeaway breakfast option might be worth considering or being clearer about the difference is cost and value. Or ideally, having an option for those catching the boat to have breakfast at 7am even if this means choosing f your breakfast the night before.

The hotel far exceeded my expectations and the restaurant was excellent.

Food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. Dinner service was a bit patchy, i.e. some items arrived a bit later than others.

Convenience and spacious

The EV chargers on site were very temperamental and we had to try several before we had success.

The room was spacious and well equipped with an armchair. Nicely designed hotel and communal areas, in keeping with local setting. We had an excellent dinner in the restaurant, with high quality local produce.

Lots of staff in restaurant, but only certain ones allowed to take orders, which was a bit odd!

A convenient stop off before kendal calling festival. Nice food in restaurant and decent beers in the bar. Comfortable room with good facilities. Plenty of parking.

An excellent location for cycling, with easy access to quiet lanes and tracks. And staff were very helpful about bike storage.

Great place to stop off (again) on journey north

I'm still thinking.......

It's position, 100m from the M6, yet felt as though it was sited in the Fells, which it was. For photographers of the west coast main line, great positioning again, only in the order of 100m away. Despite the proximity of the railway and the motorway, it was really quiet. The environment in reception, the dining room and surrounding estate. I thought that I was going to a motorway service area hotel, yet it was far better than that.

The room really needed a lick of paint to warrant the price. Restaurant meals were good quality but a little over priced. I thought a pork chop (delicious though it was) might come with more vegetables than 4 tiny pieces of (beautifully cooked)celeriac.

Size of room with easy chairs. General ambience of the place - especially the water feature outside the dining area. And the location suited our plans beautifully

Not good for people with walking disabilities. The access from the blue badge parking area to the entrance is steep and uneven. More rooms with step in showers are needed.

A useful halfway point between Scotland and Surrey. Far enough from the A9 to be quiet. Lovely staff & great food. Lift between floors . Comfortable beds.
