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

The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into creating a lovely hotel, and for deaf visitors it would be. The view from the balcony is superb, the room was spacious and comfortable and everything was pretty smart. However, the soundproofing was fairly dismal, so we could hear the couple in the room next to us talking and hear their child crying. - 1 star for inadequate soundproofing on what was a fairly expensive room. We were then subjected to very loud music with heavy bass from the wedding happening in the hotel - I hope the couple had a lovely time, but having shelled out for a room with a balcony in the quiet bit of the lake district I did find the lack of quiet a bit disappointing. - 1 star for the rather less than tranquil surroundings. On checking out, the receptionist asked us if everything had been ok, so I mentioned it was a shame the wedding music had been so loud, as it had made it hard to enjoy a quiet evening (for reference think Travelodge room above a nightclub). The receptionist told me that the music had been turned off at 11, so was in line with legal requirements, not sure why that was relevant, considering I had paid for a room in a nice looking hotel with a balcony in the quiet bit of the lakes. Her colleague shrugged at us, clearly indicating she thought we were the problem. - 1 star for rude staffing. In short, this hotel could be wonderful, but isn't.

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
