Hotel berhampiran PREDATOR EXPERIENCE - Wolf Experience UK, Staveley-in-Cartmel

Good hotel, plesent staff ideal for steam train and steamer ride to Bo'ness good breakfast ample parking would stay again

Booked through ******* where this hotel had a rating of 9. I would put at nearer a 7. Rooms were ok….clean and comfortable enough. En-suite was nice as had been refurbed. Communal areas tired. Breakfast area and restaurant more like a cafe. I had the garlic mushrooms with lemon and time on bruschetta with a side salad, this was a starter as a main. Really weird flavor….really didn’t enjoy. Creamy garlic mushrooms would have been nicer….the bruschetta wasn’t toasted hardly and was soggy…£9. Hubby lasagne was nice £17. Noticed someone getting sausage and mash in a smallish bowl. Two sausages and a bit of mash….£19.50! 😳 Also saw on the menu a cheesecake dessert was £9.50!!! Expensive and average! Breakfast was awful….cold plates, barely cooked bacon and sausage….hash browns that you couldn’t even cut into….just not nice! Staff were friendly enough but on arrival our tv wasn’t working….husband went down twice to advise….as he was desperate to watch the football. Was told it would be 8pm (2 hours) before anyone could help. Was offered another room instead but when he went to look at it he said it was a bit grim dark and dingy so stayed where we were and managed to get tv going. Then we realised we weren’t given the WiFi password when checked in so back down to reception he went….more than a little annoyed by this time! Anyway overall as I said just bang average….just off a really busy road too so road noise from our room was bad too….the header photo on ******* had a water view so that’s where we thought it was set. Wouldn’t stay again…..would have rather spent my money elsewhere….costly average experience 👎

We've been to this hotel many times over the last few years, mainly in Autumn when the leaves are changing colour & the waterfalls are flowing. Amazing peaceful location with Fell Foot Park nearby & the chain ferry over to Hawshead & the undeveloped side of Windermere & beyond. New owner this year & refurbishment is starting, though it seems the amazing character of this old hotel will not be spoilt. Warm , clean & cosy. The motivation of the staff this Trip has been amazing. The best ever for can do. The Polish chef is the main reason for our return. He & his talented, friendlyteam team provide really interesting fresh local food & menus & the cooking is as good as some exceptional places in France. Lovely indoor pool & spa & outside. Bottom rooms on the lake are amazing. Open your doors & admire the views & air. Package breaks are available & good value. We will return next Autumn.
