What a disappointing Christmas staycation. We had previously stayed at the Lancrigg and enjoyed the location and warm hospitality of the owners and staff, which is why we decided to return, for Christmas this time. The room price was rather steep, and didnt include cleaning; covid restrictions were sited as the reason for not cleaning the rooms during the stay; prior to our stay at the Lancrigg, we had visited another hotel and they didnt seem to have any issues with keeping the rooms cleaned and it felt very safe for staff and guests? As part of our stay at the Lancrigg we had Christmas

This may sound a bit rambling apologies but here we go! We have just the most amazing weekend at the Lancrigg with a party of 15! Due to the numbers Paul decided to close the hotel off to other bookings we effectively had the run of the place. It was decided we would all eat together so for breakfast a full English this was provided on platters so you could pick and choose what you wanted the breakfast was hot and well prepared even after the power cut one morning when they had 20 minutes to get everything cooked & served to the starving masses! Thrown into the mix our 1 Veggie was well looked

Such nice people! I was just a dozy passing walker when I realized I had forgotten my water bottle. They gave me a large bottle of soda water for free. Beautiful place, too...
