In a lovely location away from busy towns hidden in the countryside and only 3 minutes from the beach. The hotel has a lovely exterior with a presentable reception. The restaurant and garden have a welcoming feeling and the bar staff are lovely. The rooms are a large size with comfortable beds. The bathrooms are a little outdated but otherwise good to use. The Dunes is a dog friendly establishment.

The tv in the rooms are tiny. You may aswell put your phone on the wall to watch so there's not really any point using them. House keeping never replenished the toilet rolls as my wife and I were here for 4 days. We did find a dog hair in the bed.

Nice hotel, the location was great for us as we were visiting for a show. It is remote which we liked though it may not be for everyone if you want to walk to town. The room was spacious and clean, lots of storage although we didn't need it as we only stayed for the night. We had a drink and meal in the hotel before going out, meal was really nice and the staff were helpful. Dog friendly, we didn't have our dog with us, but would consider coming back and bringing the dog.

Only things were the room could be more modern, but it was clean and so it wasn't a particular issue for us. We had a roof space and had to climb on the bed to open the velux, which may be difficult for some people. The bathroom was a wet room which was fine but could do with a shower curtain or mop in the room as the bathroom was wet for a while after showering.

The food was very tasty, We did have to wait along time for our food but when it came, it was good. The staff were young and very polite but we have 3 separate mistakes with our food and drinks order. There were 2 older members of the restaurant front of house staff but this didn't seem to help. We have stayed many times at The Dunes but it's the first time we've had an evening meal. Maybe, we won't try it again. It wouldn't stop us staying again, we've eat breakfast twice and that has always been a good experience.

As mentioned above.

Good choice of fruit, yoghurt, cereals and cooked breakfast. Very welcoming young man with a wonderfully positive outlook on life. He took the time to explain where everything was and generally made me feel welcome! The food was regularly topped up from the kitchen to the servers. Nice and spacious area to eat inside and out.

The room was too warm for me, radiator on in bathroom, so I happily slept with the velux window open. I took the opportunity to peep out during the night and managed to catch a glimpse of the full red moon, twas a bonus!!

Wonderful, welcoming duty manager, despite our quite late check in! Staff were all friendly and the breakfast was lovely. One of the best buffet breakfast scrambled eggs I've ever had! Ideally located as it's near to the main motorway, however it's just far enough out that it's quiet and peaceful. The decor is really well done and there's a lot of attention to detail. Bravo to the designer! We will keep this as one of our places to stay when we need a few nights break away from our busy jobs.

The bathroom could do with an update - the sealant around the bath was a messy job and the bath was chipped, but the shower was fine. Overall with this being our only complaint, I'd say that's pretty good going!

The property is easy to get too, very warm and welcoming as you go inside and is decorated really nicely all way through from the entrance to the reception, restaurant and rooms. The staff were so friendly and gave our dog loads of attention and treats. We booked in at the Coast restaurant and couldn’t believe the quality and affordability of the food and drinks! The portion sizes were very generous.

The room we stayed in had a sky light window so it couldn’t be opened and during the night the room did get very warm which made it quite uncomfortable and our dog couldn’t settle. Some of the guests were quite noisy and you could hear the doors closing but that was to be expected for a Saturday evening.

The quality of the evening meal and service was great, as was my bedroom, very nice and comfortable!

Breakfast was the only negative I had, it was okay but not up to the quality of the evening meal.. My colleague suffered a dreadfully disturbed night due to a dog in the bedroom next or near to him that barked the majority of the night! He was too polite to complain as like me he has dog's so all in favour of you being pet friendly, however the owner should have dealt with this better and I think it only fair you are aware of it..

The hotel inside is very well presented. The room we had was big and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was out of the way, so it was peaceful. The staff were always smiling, which is a plus, always nice to see. Dog friendly. We have dogs but didn't bring them. The food was reasonably priced and very nice. I would definitely come back again.

Although I like the idea of it being dog friendly, you should try to keep the dogs away from people who haven't got dogs as it may put people off whilst eating. I did see the separation rooms, so maybe that was the split, but if so, we weren't told.

Excellent range of food at breakfast; lovely aspect at breakfast; good view of the house martins from our 2nd floor room; bottles of water in room; comfortable chair; quiet

only one lamp in our room; no natural yoghurt at breakfast at the outset, toaster burnt the toast and is a H&S nightmare; the shower door would not fully close, the angled ceiling means you have to watch your head!

Love this hotel! Well situated for the Lakes and Barrow. Great sized rooms, comfortable beds, very clean and doggies allowed!

The only thing I wasn’t happy about was having to pay £15 a night per dog (we had two with us, therefore £90 for three days, would have paid for another room!) and nothing to show for it. Room wasn’t cleaned whilst there so not sure how they can justify the dog charges. Also wasn’t made aware of the charges until after we had booked. Otherwise perfect!
