Beck review

Only 2 criticisms for an otherwise very enjoyable break.

1. Our booking through the Daily Telegraph included a room upgrade. We didn t get one! We finished up with a room at the back of the hotel, facing a 10 foot blank wall.

2 The sleeping policeman need some warning such as white paint. I feel sure sure I ve damaged my car.

Comfortable, clean, friendly and helpful staff. Good food (both dinner and breakfast.
Very good base for exploring Furness and the southern Lake District.

Autumn stay on the edge of the Lake District.at a comfortable hotel.

Very comfortable hotel us with staff anxious to please.Dinner service was rather slow due to large coach party being resident.

Charming Grand Hotel

The reception was a little indifferent. Our room which was not easy to locate, was in the attic: although not a tall man it was too easy to bang my head on the low beams.
The room was comfortable and, like the shower room it was clean. The evening meal was elegantly served and presented. The food was excellent. The bar staff were helpful and efficient and remained calm under the pressures of the demands of a large coach party. The hotel stands above the town in its own grounds and has a certain charm of grand dame of a hotel.

Room 125

The staff are all really nice. Olga and another lady I can t remember (catering manager) were first class. The restaurant is lovely and the menus were excellent. However .in our room , the bed was fairly uncomfortable and the pillows need an upgrade. There was no bedside light on one side and the other one was so dim it s impossible to read in bed. The shower is devoid of power whereas the sink has loads of pressure. There is a towel rail which isn t switched on and it does say if you want to use the same towel every day (which I was happy to do) there ll be wet the next morning. So I asked to change them. I would stay again if the bed was better.

Awful smell in the attached bathroom

Foul smell from toilet. They knew as a window had been left open. They cleared it but the smell remained.
