We have visited here before and always been really pleased but this time we did notice some things that needed attention although it certainly did not spoil our visit and we would definitely return. The outside balcony area, off the breakfast conservatory, looked very neglected and did not entice us to sit our there. The breakfast was now just a choice of things and no option of a full cooked English which we have had before. I don't like certain foods so this restricted our choice until the really helpful member of staff arranged for me to just have bacon, mushroom and poached egg. Certain areas needed painting like skirting boards, but there were some lovely touches too like a chocolate each in your room, biscuits, toiletries, a lounge and coffee area to use as well. Overall we would recommend this property and feel our feedback is constructive so the owners keep the standards high. The Ravensworth is set in an ideal position for visiting all areas of the lakes either by car, bus or walking.
