Lovely place, helpful friendly staff, good breakfast and a nice room. Only downside is the ensuite which although very nice is on the small side. Very dog friendly and the area is good for walking.

The hotel was lovely, with excellent food and attentive service from the staff in the food and bar areas. However, I would like to caution others when booking a room at the Pooley Bridge Inn, as it seems that Country Village Inns, the owner, is not fully transparent in their room descriptions.
For example, my friends and I booked our rooms six months in advance for a two-night stay. We paid the same price per couple, but there were significant differences in the rooms we were given. My friends were comfortably situated on the first floor, with a larger room, a Juliet balcony, lovely vinyl flooring, a larger bed, and a shower enclosure.
On the other hand, my partner and I, who is 6ft 3, were placed in a dingy bedroom on the third floor. The carpet was rotten, and the paintwork was damaged, giving the room an unsettling vibe. The ceilings were sloped, but the most bizarre part was the bathroom, which sloped at every angle. It was impossible to brush your teeth without your head touching the Belize window. Additionally, the room only had a small, bath with a shower attachment on the tap. My partner, who couldn't even fit in the bath, had to crouch and shower himself down using the hand held attachment as it couldn’t even be placed in the wall due to the space. The lack of a shower screen resulted in water spilling onto the floor, which could be impossible and actually dangerous for someone with mobility issues. It was evident that others had faced the same issue.

Amazing customer service. Rooms were lovely. Food was great and a wide selection of drinks. Deffo would stay again

Breakfast was excellent, location not far from motorway. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient, the premises was spotless clean. The only negative was there was no blind in the bathroom of room 12.

First time I have travelled to the Lakes solo. I was made to feel really welcome at the Pooley Bridge Inn. The staff are very friendly. My room was super cosy and clean and the food in the restaurant was beautiful. Will definitely be back.
4.6
Lovely Pub/Hotel with a wonderful location: a minutes walk from the lake, and only a few miles from the M6.
The room was compact, but clean, warm, and cosy and there was a decent selection of food/drinks in the Pub/restaurant. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
The only downside for me was the bath only had a hand held shower and no show curtain. Fine of you like a bath, but not practical if you prefer a shower. Might discourage me from a longer stay.
Otherwise excellent.

Fantastic place to stay : We were here for a 2 nite Christmas treat and even though the weather wasn't kind we had a fabulous stay at The Pooley Bridge Inn. Beautiful comfy room, friendly and v helpful staff, excellent food (had eats both nights) and great real ale, hubby loved the Dizzy Blonde Robinsons beer. BIG THANK YOU to everyone 👍👍👍

Great location in Pooley Bridge with a cozy fire for dinner.

Simple fast check in with friendly staff, room was perfect for our needs. Excellent location for the lakes and walking. Breakfast was very nice and a great start to the day will definitely be returning soon.
4.6
The room was spotless and modern, evening food was tasty and the full English was unreal. 10/10 from me
4.6
Great building in a nice area. Staff member at checkin was outright rude, and service slow in the restaurant/bar. Room was clean and bedding comfortable, although to call it a suite was perhaps a step too far (the two single beds, which I didn’t use, were literally in the rafters with <30cm headroom). Strange to have a shower without a curtain/door (so not really useable). OK for a couple of nights for a cheap price, but not really suitable for a longer stay or a special occasion.
4.6
Ideal comfortable and cosy room. Situated in a perfect location.

Great location and good parking.
Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Restaurant had a great selection at very reasonable prices.
Staff very friendly and helpfull.

Check-in was easy, however we were booked into the twin rooms in the attic so climb up 3 sets of narrow stairs with luggage was not easy and coming down with luggage a real struggle.
Room had a sloping roof with a door the the ensuite that had the corner cut out to accommodate the sloping roof. Needless to say both myself and my partner banged their heads on the roof when going to the bathroom. Shower pressure was low and there was no room in the ensuite for toiletries so they was all over the floor. Sloping roof above beds was also a head impact danger.
Room was quiet until it rained when the noise from the rain on the skylight kept us awake.
Food in the bar was generally good and service excellent. Breakfast is a little restricted but what you get is good.
Unfortunately if rained for the duration of our stay so we did not see the area at it's best, but what we did see was looked very impressive.

Had a fabulous stay with my son. Easy check in. Clean and spacious room, plenty of tea and coffee and fresh milk available in a small fridge in hallway. Staff very friendly and helpful with advice, they take a genuine interest in you and what you are doing-I was trying wild swimming and paddle boarding at my sons request. They all asked how it had gone! The food is good and menu has enough choices to suit anyone. Quiz night was very entertaining. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone

We had a great nights stay here on the way up to Scotland - the Pub is near the motorway so very convenient yet it was lovely and quiet with access to the lakes a short walk away. The staff were friendly, the food was good and the room was clean and ideal for what we needed. Would highly recommend.
4.6
We loved our stay, the family room we stayed in had large bunk beds, in a separate part of the room giving our teenage girls some privacy, the beds were also very comfortable.
Cannot fault the service, amazing place.

Have no complaints about this property

Staff were really friendly and helpful and quickly resolved a checking in issue. The hotel was clean and nicely decorated. The rooms were well decorated and comfy beds. Food and night and breakfast was delicious. The only downside was the strong smell of wee by the gents toilets/going up the stairs.
4.6
excellent value stop over. room was great and staff extremely friendly and helpful.
only negative was the bath with shower from taps under the eaves so very restricted for height as you can only just about kneel in the bath. fine for an overnighter but would struggle for longer
4.6
Very pleasant, nice staff - very helpful. Room was clean although rather small, bathroom was in eaves so difficult to stand at sink and little room for toiletries, shower was just hand unit on bath - a bit tricky for an older person, the bath was deep. However, that said it was just a single night and for one night acceptable. Water was hot, facilities excellent and the bed very comfortable. Have a different room for my return trip and have extended stay for an extra day.
4.6
Overnight family stay with my father and my little girl , stayed in room 12 which was nice. The only gripe I have is my dad is 76 years old and couldn’t use the wash facilities as the bath was too small and you couldn’t shower as the velux style roof meant you couldn’t stand up to use the hand held shower head.
4.6
The hotel is well situated next to the river, the rooms are clean and practical, the bathroom excellent. The service from the staff is second to non let down by the quality of food which seemed to be aimed at the volume rather than the quality.
4.6
Nice family room with nice facilities but the service was not good. On the first of two mornings we were served bacon that was actually mouldy, not just a little bit either, and staff were not particularly bothered. We have stayed here before and it was great but sadly this has not continued. This could and should be an amazing place and has the 'bones' of it but until staff service and standards improve there will always be something missing.
4.6
We had a lovely stay at Pooley Bridge Inn. All staff were very friendly and helpful, especially after we arrived late following a super long journey. Thank you!
4.6
Fresh Milk for in room tea and coffee was a bonus . Nice breakfast with graded portion sizes . Good pub food with friendly service
4.6
Perfect location, lovely village, food good altho pie wasn’t strictly a pie and some of the steak was a little dry. Realise its dog friendly but not particularly comfortable with the number of dogs in the eating area, particularly those ‘on knees and tables’ - we are dog lovers but didn’t really feel it was very hygienic.
4.6
Great location, nice room but looking a little deeper in the bathroom, mould in shower head that can easily be wiped off, shower cubical could do with a good scrub, toilet seat wobbly, slips to the left, toilet bowl not great.. possibly dried on specks of poo but I did have a closer than average inspection due to the shower not being as it should’ve. I think the bathroom just needs a deep clean. Pillows in room old and lumpy one with a previous residents hair inside, I use my own pillow protector and case so didn’t give this too much thought. A very busy pub, very friendly and helpful service and didn’t want to complain, the bathroom was adequately clean just not to my standard.
4.6
There was no shower in the room we had. Just a bath. The water was not very hot for the bath and there was no blind for the bathroom sky light, which the adjoining room could see into. Hairdryer broken also.
Everything else was good and the staff were very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful.
4.6
Welcoming and friendly. Clean and tidy room. A familly room for but, not a shower only a bath tub with a handheld set. Strange. Clean though.
Staff lovely people. Food acceptable. A relaxing place.
