- John (8/5): Ideal - Location
Comfort Nothing
- Hayleigh (9/5): Fabulous! - Lovely clean spacious room. Staff lovely too. Food was incredible. Easy to check in and out. Smooth flow all round. Mattress was a little uncomfortable, and no lock on the inside of the door. Which is fine as no-one can get in from the outside, but not wise in a family room with toddlers or young children who can open doors and escape while adults are asleep through the night.
- toni (8/5): A pleasant 2 days at the ginn inn. - Breakfast and dinner was great. Service was great.
Bed was comfortable. Floors were uneven in bathroom and bedroom.
Limited tea, coffee and milk, 1 hot chocolate sachet when there's two of you.we stayed two days so only enough for one day. We put service sticker on door so no problem really,it would of just saved them time coming in again that's all.

- Mrs LLH (10/5): Lovely hotel - Lovely hotel, conveniently located for oir stay visiting family. Stayed dozens of times here before.
- Evelynne (4/5): - We had a twin room, one bed had a channel in the middle of it, it felt like the mattress was trying to swallow you and the other bed was like sleeping on a slab of concrete,breakfast was poor, cereal and milk, the toaster was burning the bread.

- Rick (8/5): Very nice stay, great breakfast, but staff member's shirt was too small. - The family room was great as they had the perfect number of beds for my wife and I and our 3 younger children. We had to rent a separate room for our 13 year old, but it was reasonably priced. The breakfast was very good and well presented, but the staff member serving the food had a shirt about 3 sizes too small and it was not very appetising to see his belly hanging out between his trousers and shirt. the staff member serving the food had a shirt about 3 sizes too small and it was not very appetising to see his belly hanging out between his trousers and shirt.

- John (9/5): -
- Nigel (9/5): Great place to stay and eat if just passing by. - Both the evening meals and the Cumbrian breakfast were huge (almost too big) and the food itself was fantastic and really tasty. Clean room and bathroom. Bathroom was a bit on the small side, but was functional.

- Lubna (4/5): - I'd consider this hotel for last-minute bookings or budget-friendly options, but be aware that the rooms may not match the pictures. Unfortunately, our room had stained bed sheets, noticeable cobwebs, and visible signs of spiders in various corners. My daughter was frightened by the spiders and refused to sleep in her bed. I had to remove them myself, which was unpleasant. Additionally, room service isn't available 24/7, closing around 10 PM, so assistance isn't an option late at night. It is 20 somthing minutes drive by car from lake district bational park so if you have children you would consider taking a closer accomodation, I booked two nights but checked out after the first night.
- Marta (10/5): -
- Ulrich (9/5): -
- Aneta (8/5): - Nice cosy place. Very nice breakfast. Friendly staff. We stayed for two nights. On the second day there was no hot/warm water on the shower.
- Jay (9/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): Buon posto dove riposare vicino a al Lake district - Colazione eccezionale servita da una cameriera molto gentile
- Paul (10/5): Great value for the money - Dinner and Breakfast was excellent , room was very nice as well,
Will be back next year Nothing at all
- Pankaj (10/5): - Nice, clean and quiet property. The best part was the breakfast. We were surprised to see that everything was made to order and not a typically buffet morning breakfast. And all of it tasted really good.
- Tajul (10/5): - i liked salmon smoked with egg & holland sausage. it was delicious some bed mattresses was very soft. it was not comfortable for sleep
- Thomas (6/5): -
- Rajni (9/5): -
- Bledar (9/5): - Nice & quiet
- Warwick (10/5): - The overall standard of the hotel was first class. The staff were friendly and professional. My wife's vegetarian requirements were easily met with a good range of dishes. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The quality and cleanliness was faultless. We hope to return in the future.. There was NOTHING that we didn't like.
- MAGALAGE (4/5): - It is an Inn/pub with dirty carpets and sticky tables in the dinning area. The food is nothing to write home about and although generous it is tasteless.
The rooms are cramped with views to the car park.
The room cleaning was good with a clean toilet but the carpets and other surfaces require attention.
Not in the best part of town and not somewhere you want to explore.
We had some money off since last minute, it really is not worth the full price.

- Rosa (7/5): -
- David (10/5): Excellent value for money , well run , spotless friendly place - Everything , lovely spotlessly clean en-suite room , great food , great staff nothing to dislike , definitely stay again Nothing to dislike
- John (10/5): Would highly recommend this Hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was very clean and everything we neede - Everything was excellent The room. Friendly staff and excellent food
- Elena (10/5): Una settimana per visitare i laghi - Stanza grande, colazione abbondante, staff gentile e sempre di grande aiuto. Se posso fare unâunica nota: sarebbe stato piĂč utile avere una luce un poâ piĂč forte in stanza. La lampadina era davvero fioca!
- David Oates (10/5): The room and building was excellent - The breakfast was excellent The mashed potato with the pie could have been better but thatâs nip picking
- Paul (8/5): - All good at The Old Ginn House, many thanks.
- Linda (10/5): A great choice of a place to say. So comfortable. Easy. Very friendly. Great food great welcoming - Food was excellent. Would put some of the big hotels to shame with the fantastic choice so fresh. Delicious Nothing
- Simon (10/5): -
- Simon (9/5): - Really big clean and d comfortable family room. Food was delicious especially breakfast. Staff were very friendly Food service was a little slow but was worth the wait
- Nigel (7/5): As expected - Good value and comfortable Sometimes gets very busy
- Amanda (8/5): Great place to stay with the odd disappointment - Classic double room was very spacious. Breakfast excellent! Despite the spacious bedroom the shower room was tiny which was a bit of a disappointment & the pillows were flat
- ShashiKT (10/5): -
- deborah (10/5): Very comfortable clean room. Food was exceptional. - The staff were very polite and friendly. The room was clean and nicely made with elephant shapes.
The food was exceptional. We ate in the restaurant at dinner and it was excellent, the breakfast was excellent. All freshly cooked. It was very hot in room. We did put on air con machine, this helped a little.
- Alan (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff, great room, breakfast was great and allowed to take it away
- Chris (9/5): Great food and value for money - The food was excellent and the staff friendly and welcoming. Good atmosphere and it was notable in the restaurant that there was no music in the back ground so we could hear what each other was saying. The room was fine (Room 1) and the bathroom was excellent. Plenty of parking. The WiFi was really poor, even in the public areas. That's a shame as it is an easy thing to get right particularly as the hotel was a deadspot for EE. Same for the TV in the room which was hit and miss with a poor signal. There was quite a lot of noise from the room above us in terms of creaky floorboards - sufficient to wake me up. A slightly odd critiscism, but we found the cutlery (knives) in the restaurant pretty useless at cutting food!
- SAMED (8/5): - Good location, clean room, friendly staff Dated facility
- Tony (10/5): A wonderful place. Don't have any doubts if you're thinking about booking. - The room was perfect for our stay.and all of the staff were fantastic.
The food was wonderful, and portions were more than ample, but smaller options are available.
- David (8/5): -
- Karen (10/5): - The room was clean , modern , ground floor not having to take luggage up steps.
The bar had good mix of beers.
The food was excellent.
Would highly recommend
- Caroline (10/5): Marvellous great value for money fabulous staff and beautiful food. Cleanest hotel we ever stayed in - Thé staff were great welcoming and accommodating and made us feel valued customers . Thé breakfast was amazing quality produce well cooked abd variety of options. Cleanliness top notch every room was exceptional., Location from shops but personal preference only
- Norton (10/5): -
- Faiza Zubair (8/5): -
- Antonio (10/5): -
- Kevin (8/5): - Was a lovely room and food was decent, not much options for gluten free, but was okay. If you intend on using the bar be mindful if your are too loud laughing you will be told to hush :( x
- Aleksandra (8/5): We stayed here for two nights before our daughterâs wedding, family rooms were spacious - Easy access to room, staff friendly and attentive even though we were 2 hours late arriving for dinner it was no problem and we were communicating during our drive up from London. Sunday breakfast staff were a bit slow and vague and our table wasnât set. No mini fridge, tissues or body lotion provided which would have been useful as we were travelling with children.
- ÎÎÎĄÎÎÎ (9/5): Perfect for families! Would highly recommend - Breakfast was amazing! Room was clean and spacious. Staff very polite! The hot water was tricky to get right.
- Irina (10/5): - Super hotel, curat, camera spaÈioasÄ, paturi confortabile, mic dejun delicios! Recomand acest hotel Nimic
