We had a lovely stay at Brathay Lodge, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, it was an easy walk to the town, the parking easy and convenient, the continental breakfast gave you everything you could want, lots of cereal choice, toast, croissants, waffles, crumpets, a fabulous choice of fruit and grains, we’re not fans of cooked breakfast so this was perfect, we booked last minute and stayed in the large front double room on the first floor which was great, very clean and good decor, as the weather was extremely hot the windows had to be left open which meant there was a lot of road noise, but not to much of a problem and in normal weather there would be little noise as the windows would not need to be left open all night, the only issue we had was that the bed was rather hard and did not suit us, but would suit others. Would stay again if a softer mattress was available. Would have given 5 stars if the bed had been softer.
