“This hotel strikes me as a particularly appealing find for those drawn to the Lake District's raw beauty, especially given its Art Deco soul. The promise of locally sourced dining with those views is hard to ignore, and the dog-friendly approach makes it a real escape for many. I envision cozy evenings by the lake, a true step back in time but with all the right comforts.”
