Fantastic staff. Warm welcome. Big comfortable bed. Big room everything in perfect working order. Excellent breakfast Great parking. The bedrooms don’t have television. GREAT. I could watch the heron hunting it’s food from my window

We booked dinner. There was a limited set menu. I really enjoyed my dinner, but my wife likes fish and that wasn’t an option.

Fantastic breakfast lots of choices and freshly prepared.

Really cosy and very friendly environment. Staff were very nice and a good spread for the breakfast. Dinner is delicious and I wouldn't say was expensive. We had a room that allowed dogs which was great for us. The bed was super comfy! and the room was a good size for me, my partner and our dog. (FYI dogs aren't allowed in the kitchen/dining area, but they can go to the pub area)

It's not something I didn't like but for future guests to be aware off. 4G internet is quite spotty so I would pre download any movies or shows/bring a book for your downtime. There wasn't a TV in our room. Also predownload map routes! We had to drive to Keswick to get Internet. Honestly, this was fine for us though as after we'd finished our day walking, eaten and had a few drinks at the hotel bar, we fell straight to sleep!

We stayed here while attending a wedding at The Borrowdale Institute. Some of the buildings are over 300 years old, but the hotel is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The room was really lovely, spacious and comfortable. Everyone commented on the quality of sleep the got during the two night stay. The bar and reception areas are very quaint, and the staff are very welcoming. Special shout out to the Greek girl (Rezina?), who was just lovely, with a sense of warmth and fun in every interaction. Such a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. Recommended.

comfortable and restful decor. Lovely staff. Great beds, great shower.

I feel that it is top price for the location but the quality is great.

Beautiful place to stay

very tasteful decor. lovely warm welcome. great location in pretty village

noise from guests in room above

Location is great - surrounded by beautiful walks / hikes and only a 10/15min drive from Keswick. can get to many other nice places in less than 30 mins. IE Helvellyn, Cat Bells & High Spy, Scaffell Pike, whinlatter forest. 45 min to Ambleside. Room was lovely and VERY clean. Shower water Pressure and heat also WAY better than expected. Very good wifi too which helps planning he days out. Teas and coffee supplies socked up daily and bed made, floors cleaned etc. Breakfast is also decent - would recommend getting this included.

this may have just been our room / neighbours so don't want to discredit as we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend - we had a dog friendly room on ground floor. Soundproofing was quite an issue as could hear room above us and the one next to us pacing around and talking which was a bit of a disturbance but we were out most of the time! that would be our only feedback to improve on

we took out two dogs and throughout the stay they were so accommodating. lovely staff and a beautiful hotel will definitely will be back. perfect spot. lovely breakfast. the rooms were perfect.

location was perfect

Beautifully modernised hotel with rooms and facilities which exceeded expectations. The lovely staff are an asset to the hotel and couldnt have done more to make us feel welcome. Excellent breakfast, superb dinner, and the homemade and complimentary tea and scones were so welcome after a day on the fells!

Not being able to stay longer.

Great location for Scafell Pike, comfortable room with an amazing shower, cosy lounge areas, delicious breakfast & lovely attentive staff.

Nothing to note

As other reviewers have said, this is an absolute gem of a place. My room was so comfortable and absolutely spotless. The staff are so friendly and really can’t do enough, but the star of the visit was the food - just excellent. The menu is small but I still found it hard to choose - everything was so delicious. I wish I’d booked more than one night!
