Hesket Holidays from £106

Ok… reviews are not that good .. and I can understand, however the hotel seems in somewhat of a transition period ; (an old hospital conversion it seems with period architecture) ….work being done and plaster foot prints all through the dining hall when we arrived . Man behind desk was helpful and talkative once he understood us (yes , it’s the north and a lot of Asian run hotels now ) and a nice friendly guy. First impressions … hotel needs brightening and updating. Walk up to first floor to our ‘ upgraded’ room …first impression was the damp smell.. not great. Big four poster bed … tv not tuned in .. blinds instead of curtains and a window that didn't close properly … big bathroom ( shower only )… his n hers sinks ( with wobbly taps !!)… frosted glass and no curtains BUT.. clean bedding, plenty of towels and soap and shampoo bodywash provided. Breakfast was fine , and quickly served. Choice of standard breakfast ( egg, bacon ,sausage hash brown , beans and two toast. Help yourself to serial snd instant coffee/ tea ; or a Halal breakfast or veggie of similar food. No fuss . Parking limited but we were fine , in after midnight. To be honest , for a one night stay was fine … staff were pleasant I’d stay again . Could be a lovely place when upgraded.

Easy check in and perfect location. Hotel had everything for a night away.
