Lake District National Park Yoga Holidays

The hotel is absolutely nothing like these 10 out of 10 reviews I've read on here. The only logical explanation I can think of is that they've been written by the owners. Communication prior to arrival was terrible, with me having to do all the chasing over several days to try and get the check in instructions and the safe box codes. Upon arrival we met another guest who said we've come to the foreign version of Faulty Towers. Not a good sign we thought. When we entered our room, we found it hadn't been made up after the previous guests. The beds were unmade and wet towels were all over the floor and also on the bed. The room itself was not great. The whole carpet was massively stained and ripped in places. The chairs were broken and the TV remote didnt work. Other reviews praise how wonderful the breakfasts are, yet the information in the room clearly stated they do not do food at this hotel. There were several other things wrong with this place and the only reason I haven't given it one star is because when we complained about the room not being made up or cleaned, they sent someone over straight away to do it. Even though it was done awkwardly around us.

Don’t order breakfast it’s a basket. I was charged a commission amount which was incorrect, but was resolved . No milk to make hot drink in your room . Little things matter

Every member of staff was welcoming and friendly, from the doorman to the receptionist, the breakfast servers and the cleaners. Everyone was helpful. My room was spacious. It had an ironing board and iron, which was very useful in helping me press and set out my clothes properly. And the body products (ARRAN Sense of Scotland in Grapefruit and Green Leaf) my goodness, they smelled wonderful. The body wash, hand wash and hand lotion were all so lovely that I will be buying them for my own use. It showed how thoughtful and intentional the hotel is about pampering its guests. At breakfast, the pancakes were delightful: soft, tasty and filling. The bed was perfect, and the pillows felt as though my head was being cuddled. Lastly, the view from my room. I watched the rain's gracious descent, the balmy sunshine as it peeked through the clouds, people going about their business, and a lone kayaker on the river. Lowry, you gave me a beautiful experience one I will hold dear.

The room was perfect and cosy. The breakfast included was great and the staff were all so friendly and accommodating. My one request or point of improvement would be for their to be a smart TV in the rooms. Luckily we had a good film to watch but if one thing could be improved it would be that.

I cannot fault this hotel. From the minute we walked in we loved it. The staff were great and the room was excellent. I would definitely recommend the Edwardian Hotel.
