Excellent hotel, probably best I have stayed in, in the area. Clean rooms, staff friendly and professional. Parking facilities ok, slow EV Charger's on-site however Fast EV chargers available within ~3 miles of the hotel so no issue there. Wi-Fi facilities on site good high speed connection. Food excellent (Evening Meal / Breakfast). Local wildlife observer (Rabbits) in gardens. Will be staying here again when next in the area.

We enjoyed our Stay at Moresby hall. Nice old building in a nice spot.
Nice room although the shower seemed to be leaking as the floor was constantly wet.
Although this is a dog friendly hotel which I think should be made more clear when looking for hotels. I do think allowing dogs in a dining area is acceptable. The person dealing with breakfast was allowing their own dog in and out of the dining room into the kitchen. And in between stroking other dogs in the dining room then returning to the kitchen, bringing out food without any time to have washed her hands. Surely this is against food hygiene standards. It seems allowing dogs into places has become more important than health and safety. Or even caring about people who don't wish to be surrounded by dogs or even may have allergies. There was even two rooms that breakfast could be taken in, Surely one of these could be kept dog free.

We have never visited The Lakes and wanted an overnight stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Would highly recommend staying here. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The food for the evening meal in the restaurant was lovely followed by breakfast the next day, with plenty of options.

Also helped with have parking facilities on site and free for visitors to the hotel.

Was not disappointed with our stay, and would definitely visit again in the future

Clean room - good size although rather dated. Bathroom needs updating and shower door did not close properly. Really good breakfast and evening meal. Service staff at breakfast were excellent, helpful (plenty of tips as to where to visit), and exceptionally friendly. Evening wait-on staff - one young lady was extremely attentive although the other one was less so.
The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, the external of the building needs a lot of investment. However all in all the stay which we booked through Hotel.com was reasonably priced and overall we enjoyed our peaceful stay.

From the initial homely welcome upon arrival to our leaving everything was truly 5 star in the very relaxed, informal but professional service we received. Brilliant! it takes a lot of care and attention to the way informality is served but this hotel has got it just right. A perfect break, Sunday dinner is spectacular, peaceful nights sleep in our four poster and a luxury shower exceeded our expectations and 'we'll be back' best wishes to all and thank you for a very relaxing stay.

The owners were amazing; very attentive. Harley the dog is gorgeous. The evening meal was excellent quality and very good value considering the amount of food. Our room (Copeland) was massive and a good price. The jacuzzi bath was great, the bed was huge and comfortable. Could have benefited from a tiny bit of TLC, e.g. bathroom door wouldn't stay fully closed and the tops of the tall windows needed a slight clean. Overall it was still 5 stars and we would stay there again.

Returning to this historic hotel for a third visit was just as enjoyable as ever. Although my room was smaller this time, it was still beautifully maintained and very comfortable. I was especially grateful to be allowed an early check-in at no extra cost, which made my trip even more relaxing.

The food remains outstanding, and the staff continue to provide a genuinely warm, friendly, and helpful service throughout. I was in Whitehaven for an event over the early May bank holiday weekend, but truthfully, the chance to stay here again was a big part of the reason for my visit.

A consistently excellent experience - I wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

The room itself was a normal hotel room, when first viewed, until the smell of disinfectant hit your nose and never left until Later on in the evening after struggling to open the old sash window,which was behind a peice of furniture with the mirror and kettle on it. Taking a shower was fun, it was an old fashioned multi trick shower which came at you from all sides. One of the sliding shower doors did not come together, you had to get soaked just to get a normal shower setting.

Breakfast was good, but did not have cooked breakfast, one of the other residents came in with her dog to breakfast and the dog was fed some breakfast with one of the normal dinning plates.

The door locks are the American type of lock, which I had trouble with particularly as the hall light outside my room was less than good. The receptionist seemed less than pleased having to come and help me with locking my door.

I would not have stayed and gone elsewhere if I had not been tired from driving all day.

While it is a historic old building, it really needs an Injection of cash to make it great again.

Fantastic character of property which is grade 1 listed.
Staff could not have been more helpful. Put a comment on the initial review about a mini fridge would be useful and one was there the next time we got back to our enormous bedroom. Because of the grade 1 listing the en suite was in the corner of the room with no window which meant the light and extractor fan had to go on every time.

Beautiful location but sadly let down by cleanliness in the bathroom: hair & bits of dog biscuit on the floor near the loo. The room was stunning but tired, ripped / warn / tired room interior. Milk off we believe for breakfast no 1. Lovely staff but using a custom outside corridor as a staff smoking / chill out area was less than ideal. Plus’s points; Beautiful location, electric car charging, breakfast was generally very tasty, friend staff.

Character Hotel, good

Hotel full of character, food was very good, excellent sunday roast and breakfast, and the staff were very efficient and friendly.
Our room (Smeaton) was in the old section of the hotel, accessed by a narrow spiral stone staircase, with a low oak beam splitting the room in two, unfortunately poor weather meant rain and wind hitting the not so insulated roof was very noisy and made the room cold.
We would stay again but in a different room!

Hall is looking tired on the outside with visable broken and boarded up windows at the very top. Room was dated, we stayed in the Munro studio, no windows that open and looks directly onto the back entrance so needed to keep blinds down otherwise people could see straight in as this is a ground floor room. Opposite kitchen so could smell the cooking. What made this stay was the lovely staff and evening meals were great

I loved the huge 4 poster bed, period furniture and complimentary shampoo, shower gel and body cream which are a great quality for once! They also have meeting facilities.
