When we did not have a front door key or a key to the room complex, one of the staff came to the pub we were dining at (The Boot Inn) came and gave us a key.

The floors were not well hoovered. The bathroom had some mould.

The garden and the surrounding area is stunning.

The overall condition of the property was quite old and probably needed a renovation. That said the vibe was quite the thing.

Our second time at this great hostel. Very dog friendly. Spacious, well equipped kitchen. Countless walks from doorstep. Will return

Pillows could do with replacing and plastic pillow protectors replaced with cotton ones.

Good location, family atmosphere, lovely staff 🥰

ideal for scafell pike

The location was amazing and the kitchen area was very good, really nice to use and lots of space.

The room was called "deluxe" however it was two beds pushed together unlike the photos of a king bed and as described. The beds and pillows had plastic covers which were loud and uncomfortable plus all the bedding was ill fitting so would not stay in place throughout the night so you would be on the plastic sheets. There was no where to hang towels after a shower as the rack was missing from the wall.

The kitchen and common rooms were well equipped and cosy. The bedrooms were big and comfortable.

No remote control for our bedroom TV which meant I couldn't watch TV as I rely on subtitles, and no coat hangers in the wardrobes.

The lounge and kitchen facilities were great, lots of room.

The rooms were very shabby, could do with a thorough clean and fresh paint. Bathroom walls and ceiling abit mouldy. TV in one room didn't work. Booking in was a bit of a shambles after an 8hr drive and arriving at 9pm with 2 children. Not all room keys were left out, no staff on reception and young girl on other end of the phone was trying to be helpful, but she had never been to Stanley House so didn't know where our rooms were or the keys! Eventually figured out we needed more keys from behind the desk! Thought it was a little on the expensive side for what we got.

Very relaxed atmosphere Clean rooms huge kitchen Very comfortable sofas and close to good pubs and great food. Well priced

It was a bit dates but didn't bother me at all

The 2 bedroom suite and self catering ideal for family. Unusual to get this for short stays.
