One of the best hotel rooms we have had. The bar area was really nice on an evening, like a ski lodge, super chilled and toasty on a cold wet night. The staff were all absolutely top drawer, so polite and helpful, couldn't have asked for better. The location was great for hiking. The place is clean, well looked after and you get a nice sense of history to the building over more modern hotels.

Only way it could be improved for us, is to have coat hooks in the room, for expensive wet coats we didnt want to leave in the drying room and a fridge to keep some cold water in. Really minor things.

"Amazing. Thank you so much."

10.0

We absolutely loved our stay at this dog-friendly hotel last weekend. The atmosphere was relaxed, happy, and welcoming for both people and dogs. I stayed with my mum, stepdad, and my dog Ronnie, and we all had an amazing time. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Jordan on reception was so friendly and informative, giving great recommendations for local walks and things to see around Borrowdale and Keswick. Rita, the waitress, was brilliant; incredibly attentive and always making a fuss of the dogs with treats and cuddles. John the cleaner was also lovely and chatty, checking in to see how my stay was, and like everyone else, he was great with Ronnie. The hotel was spotless, the food was incredible (especially the breakfast), and the views were absolutely stunning, even the rain couldn’t spoil it. We’ll 100% be back, and I definitely have the holiday blues… made even better by England winning the rugby! 🏉🐾

"Mini break with friends"

9.0

Loved that it was perfectly accessible for mum who uses a rollator...we didn't have to worry about how she would manage around the hotel. The breakfast was fantastic. The staff couldn't be more helpful.

We thought the food was over priced and not as "wow" as we were hoping for.
