Nice place, great food and drink. Breakfast is super. Rooms are good and the shower in our room was great. Parking and the layout of the place was great. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again

Really lovely stay and great with the dog, free treats for them in the bar. Food was really great too and they offer gluten free options at breakfast which was delicious. Great location a short drive to the lakes and a supermarket within walking distance.

We got given room #1 which was the disabled access room and was very big with a huge bed and big bathroom, slight issue with the shower as did not get very hot (informed staff) was ground level with patio access so great for nipping to car, the evening meal was fabulous we got the Kellbank Burger & local farmers potatoe homemade chips which were proper good, big portion of choc brownie desert each and a couple of beers and price was very reasonable for the quality of food, we was up for brekkie at 7am for full english before a quick short wet hike, returned to nice warm room but still tepid shower, all in all its our goto place when in the area and will be back soon

An amazing stay just what we needed for a weekend away. The food served there is top notch fresh and tasty. The pod was clean and well presented . People were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay.

Stayed in one of the cabins - compact but spotless, warm (in January!) and comfortable - only very slight problem was the heating control which is a tad over complicated but did not in any way detract from our stay....own transport essential...fantastic location...food great and a great, welcoming staff team.

This place was awesome and would highly recommend it. They accommodated a room suitable for my mother and pulled a fold out bed for me as our original room was on the first floor. Room was spotless and the breakfast was a good size and lovely. Main meals we had in the bar seating area has we had our dog with us. Both main meals were a good size a lovely. The steak sour dough bread meal was amazing and the fish and chips was also lovely. Hard to believe this place is only 3 stars.

Hsd a fantastic overnight stay. Phil and the team could not have been more welcoming and this is easily the most dog friendly accommodation in the Lakes, maybe even UK. We will 100% be back in 2024

Lovely stay

Very good

Absolutely perfect for my needs. Staff so accommodating food delicious and plenty. Room excellent and price very reasonable. Slept well and had great views. Hoping to return later in the year. Very dog friendly I was very happy and impressed with the stay.Thankyou

We had a great stay lovely staff apart from one night when I got the feeling one of the staff was listening to my and my partners conversarion

Good food and beer

good easy access bedroom, excellent food.

The ceiling was leaking in our bathroom and radiator in bathroom was faulty and constantly red hot!! When I went for a shower the hotel had run out of hot water so I had to wait half hour. Apart from that the room and bed were clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was good.

Good, Convenient location, nice warm room , good early start breakfast. Would be nice to get a few more news channels GB news ?

Clean comfortable hotel with friendly staff and serving good food.

Had a lovely couple of nights at the Kellbank which is well positioned for access to Scarfell and the surrounding area. Good reasonably priced food and drink served by friendly staff. Room was fairly basic but clean and comfortable. Would definately return.

Have stayed at this place on various occasions and would consider nowhere else if travailing to the area. Giles was accommodating from the minute we walked in attentive to every need and the rest of the staff were fantastic! Even getting involved with the banter at the bar.. After being directed to the local pub in which is under the same management we were made to feel welcome by the locals who showed us a good time and left us both supporting a little bit of a foggy head the next morning. Turns out everybody knows Tony Knowles and we made plenty of new friends.. We carried our stay over to the following night and took advantage of their fantastic room service and even ate desert in bed!

it was a great place to stay at

Spacious twin room, comfortable bed, good desk space, excellent restaurant, friendly service, place is popular with the locals.

Disappointing. I treated myself to this hotel rather than going to a Premier Inn. I wish I hadn't bothered. Arrived at the hotel and followed the signs to the accommodation, then had to walk through the dining room to try & find check-in. Some signage could help with this. The hotel manager was clearly busy and made me feel like an inconvenience. He sped through the check-in process which wasn't very welcoming. The room was lovely, although the view out to a yard with bins wasn't great. I was woken at 7.50am by housekeeping banging on my door and trying to get in my room. There's a key drop, so it would make more sense to me to clean the rooms when people have clearly checked out. I went to breakfast, no staff seen. The menu said to help myself to cereal and coffee, which I did, although the coffee was empty. A staff member appeared and was a bit rude about me helping myself to cereal. He was also clearly put out that I wanted a cooked breakfast. I couldn't bring myself to mention the empty cafetiere. This was not noticed for the 30 minutes I was in the dining room. The same staff member proceeded to have a conversation with other guests about how inconvenient it is that guests dont check out until 11am (the check-out time) at the weekend, which doesn't leave them enough time to clean rooms before the next guests arrive. Clearly they need to hire more staff, ideally ones better suited to a customer-facing role.

We arrived really late 11.30 as we were lost on the fells due to a bridge closure and our sat nav had issues. We had regular calls with really helpful chap. All staff very friendly. Very dog friendly. Room was dated but very clean. We had lovely food. A nice stay.

Great location for what we needed and was very happy with the service we received. Great food in the bar and also a hearty breakfast before we headed out hiking. The staff could not have been more welcoming. Our only issue was that the radiator in the bathroom didn't work but not a huge issue

Stay was good they did everything to accommodate us ordered decaf tea especially so that impressed us staff friendly great base for walking eskdale valley is a must see for walkers first time to visit west lakes scenery is probably some of the best we’ve walked since we started visiting the Lake District

Really comfortable room, had everything I needed and more!

Very comfortable stay. Great beer in the bar. Friendly staff. Hotel a few minutes walk from the village.

I booked this place for a cheap weekend away and didn't have high expectations. The place was well located. I was worried when I saw it was a pub and restaurant as well as a hotel, but the accommodation was separate so not noisy. The room was spacious, clean and modern. Nice bathroom, beds a bit hard but that suits me. Generous breakfast. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

We loved how dog friendly this hotel was. We booked to stay for one night after climbing Scafell Pike with our 2 dogs. It was great to be able to have dinner at the hotel after our climb and for our dogs to be able to sit with us in the bar area. Food was excellent- reasonable price with quite a few vegan options including 2 puddings which was great to see (and always a good excuse to treat ourselves!!). We had missed the breakfast time in the morning but staff were really accomodating and the chef made us an amazing breakfast, again with a vegan option. He also had sausages for the dogs! Really close to scafell pike and a perfect spot to relax after a days climb

Close to Scafell Pike. Surprisingly quiet for pub lodging. The rooms are away from the pub. Could do with black out blinds. Excellent English breakfast included.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was really good, especially the breakfast. The room was a bit small (especially with a labrador) and slightly dated. The bed was very uncomfortable and our room was next to a security light that never went off. The room only had a roller blind that didnt fit the window properly, so it was very bright during the night.

Excellent couple of nights, food was outstanding, the full English breakfast is not for the faint hearted, could not fault a thing. If we are that way again we will definitely use the hotel again
