On a 2 day break to the Lake District we stayed here on the Saturday night , was central to everywhere we wanted to visit , easily accessible just off the A66 . The evening meal & Breakfast were both 10/10 and the staff were all excellent , One lad sorry I didn’t get his name was extremely professional, I’d asked him about his Scottish accent but he was actually from Workington with Scottish Parents . Saying that all the staff were SO GOOD . Lovely clean quiet rooms

This fine venue, fine in it's location, fine in it's relaxed car parking layout and fine in the quality of the interior furnishings and layout, continues to provide a relaxed atmosphere and unstuffy, efficient, service in interior surroundings that are significantly classier and have an up-market feel that could so easily make ordinary people, like me, feel ill-at-ease. I felt completely at ease from the moment I walked through the door. Not being an habitual diner-out, I opted for the Pan fried fillet of chicken with sage and onion potato cake, crispy streaky bacon and roast gravy, regarding that as a safe option. By steering clear of what could go wrong, I found that I had stumbled upon a meal that was tasty and wholesome, with plenty of perfectly-cooked U.K.-garden vegetables. By the time I had exhausted the supply of foods that could be liberally smothered in the delicious sauce, I still had quite a bit of that sauce remaining. Not being an habitual diner-out, I decided that asking-for a slice of brown bread to clean my plate, or worse (such as I would have done in a farmhouse) would 'blow my cover!' After that, the desert menu was an amusement park of possible delights; and after eating a banana-filled pancake, with ice cream and caramel sauce; I was left, again, regretting the impossibility of laying my hands on a slice of brown bread, or worse! Next to me in this dining-out celebration with friends; my fellow-diner was being vociferously challenged to ”Go on! Lick it! Lick it up!” My thoughts exactly. My meal was a luxurious treat. We were all served our chosen dishes without a pause in the service and I, for one, was taken on a culinary ride-out well-beyond my expectations.

Wow!! What an amazing hotel. We arrived in the middle of a power outage, to be met by polite friendly and professional staff, we were made aware of the situation and offered a seat by the fire with complimentary nibbles, we were kept up to date with the situation throughout until power was restored. Considering the disruption, the staff remained calm and all food was delivered promptly and was delicious. The rooms were very tastefully done, well equipped and spotless, beds were extremely comfy and the rooms were toasty warm on a night that got below freezing. Breakfast was really good and we were well looked after by all of the staff. We have to say it is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and would 100% recommend The Melbreak to anyone. Well done everyone concerned

We stayed for 2 nights but would have liked to have stopped longer. Room was nice but a bit squashed for space , bed comfortable, shower very good. Meals all good. Great place nearby at the train station. Also used the local spa facility, very smart but not everything was working properly when we were there. Staff were all very friendly , helpful and worked hard. Food was good especially the breakfast. Liked the bars in the hotel and the decor and atmosphere of the hotel.
