1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

We loved all of it. Probably Ghyll scrambling

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

One family recommended change of clothes ++ : we would thoroughly endorse this (although there is a laundrette around the corner from the hotel). Also, having your own towels, hats and gloves, even in summer, keeps your options open when you are up on the fells

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Yes, we felt very close to the local community and were pleased to support local businesses recovering from Covid

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Very highly: we were looked after very well by Duane and the team at the hotel. Hotel was in a good location and just right for us.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Ghyll scrambling!

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

If you can only do one of the activities do the ghyll scrambling!

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

It benefited local people because we used local facilities, shops, restaurants etc. The activity centre used non-plastic bags for packed lunches; the activity leaders shared their knowledge about the local environment, wildlife, geology etc. & ensured we were respecting it at all times.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

It was absolutely brilliant and surpassed all our expectations. Our activities were tailored to suit our abilities and preferences, the leaders were infinitely patient and helped all of us achieve what we could, the accommodation was really lovely and comfortable with plenty of space and friendly staff. The only minor point is that vegan options at the hotel were limited although what we had was excellent and the chef even prepared a special vegan meal one night when there was nothing on the menu. The lack of choice in no way detracted from what was a truly outstanding holiday.
