If you want a hotel that offers- poor communication regarding overbooking (without any apology) and general unhelpfulness, then this is the hotel for you. We travelled many miles only to be told that we were to be moved to another hotel as the Ullswater was closed on the following Monday! Parking was diabolical with a coach parked right across car...
