Room windows are probably quite old and therefore not well insulated, so you can hear road traffic quite clearly. Our room was located at the front of the building. The room was a comfortable temperature though, with effective heating making up for the old windows.

Very friendly staff. Breakfast was fantastic; never have I seen so much fruit served with pancakes before (sliced banana, blueberries and strawberries). The shower in the en-suite did not look particularly amazing on first-glance but it's the best hotel shower I've ever used. Powerful and very hot if needed. The hotel is in a wonderful location.

Beer garden could have done with a few more sun shades.

Staff really friendly. The food was great at breakfast and we enjoyed being served. Evening meal was gorgeous too, really enjoyed our 2 night stay. The beer garden was good too. Overall lovely time.

Room quite small and noisy but that’s due to it being an old hotel and the position of our room by the top of the shares. Once everyone’s in though it was nice and relaxing.

Lovely location, lots of great walks all around the hotel, plus just up the road is a 12 mile walk around Thirlmere lake. Lovely food. Great central location for exploring Lake District

Beautiful old building steeped in history, room very cozy with everything we needed. Hot shower and fluffy towels just perfect. Restaurant/bar had great food selection and our meal was fabulous. Absolutely could not fault anything

Can not fault the staff or service. A few 5 star hotels could learn from these guys!

The room was smaller than it looked in the pictures.

Beautiful location and very close to Keswick. The pub was fantastic and the food was well priced and extremely good.

The bedroom is advertised as 269 sq ft. but wasn't nearly that large. Still it's nicely decorated and recently renovated.

The staff couldn't have been nicer. The restaurant served well prepared food in generous portions. It's a nice location outside of Keswick with lovely views.

The single room was closer to a re-purposed broom cupboard. Doubles looked fine.

Roaring fire, nice local pub and friendly staff

Pub prices quite high but most probably on par with most pubs in the lakes.

Fantastic location, lovely breakfast and the staff very attentive. Room clean and comfortable.

They offered pots of tea for breakfast but not coffee, one of the staff would go round checking if anyone wanted a coffee top up. Maybe just offer small pots of coffee so it's less trouble to top people up.

Loved the location, hotel is easy to find and the setting is beautiful. What I didn't realise is that it's at the foot of Helvellyn and there is a footpath to begin your trek just out the back of the hotel. Perfect location if you're hiking that mountain for the day! Staff are super friendly and helpful. Food is proper pub grub and served piping hot. Well stocked bar in the pub and some lovely chilled out lounge areas for guests to relax. I had a double room, it was compact but still a double bed and ensuite bathroom with shower. For one person it was all I needed but may have been a little snug for two people. (I was in room #1). Room had slash windows which meant you could open up the window and let fresh air in the room which is a relief in warmer months.

Nothing worth mentioning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Stayed in a small room but it had beautiful views, was clean and had everything we needed with a lovely comfy bed. We felt looked after by all the amazing and hardworking staff including the ‘awesome pawsome’ Conrad who made us laugh and beautiful Goisa who always had a smile no matter how busy she was. The food was amazing and the bar and lounges were comfy areas to relax and have a drink.

Really enjoyed our stay here, everything was lovely, really clean and spacious room. The restaurant/ pub had tasty food and outside seating to catch the sun. There is a bus stop directly opposite with regular buses into Keswick. Lots of walking routes as well. Couldn’t recommend enough!
