We stayed at the Old England for a break after our wedding. We had visited the Lakes numerous times before and had planned to stay at the Old England because it looked so inviting from the outside. The hotel accomadation is beautiful. We were more than pleased with our room which was situated in the new wing. However, when we... more

Since the revamp this hotel is simply excellent. Most of the staff are attentive and polite. The room was new and spotless, with a shower and bath, plus all the comforts you expect of a MacDonald hotel. The spa was refreshing, the treatments vast and the massage I received was the best in the world. The breakfasts were fabulous and... more

The room was of average size and comfortable, although didn't feel like it had been refurbished a few months ago as claimed by the hotel. The leisure club and spa is new and... more

Every member of the staff was delightful - polite and helpful, particularly the ever-helpful Claire on reception and Richard, the restaurant manager who was already ready with a dry comment. I have minor mobility issues and we had a very comfortable room, with a separate shower, not far from reception and with easy access to... more

Our car was parked in a nearby car park by a member of staff. We were allocated an excellent lake view room, with widescreen tv, refrigerator, tea/coffee making... more
