Maybe some fresh fruit or pastries for breakfast

Room was lovely - very individual. Comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed and bed linen All staff exceptionally friendly and helpful

Bar shutting a bit too early

Just everything

Breakfast was very nice and a great start for the day. The location was great, as it was near Ambleside, yet on its own. It's a beautiful historic building and the kids loved watching the badgers. Also the personell was very very friendly and the bar was great

Our room was nicely and tastefully refurbished but some parts of the hotel corridors were in a poor state of repair. However, we realise this is a work in progress and our room was clean and spacious

Beautiful location with the wonderful addition of watching for badgers after nightfall. We were thrilled to get photos

They mixed up the arrangement of the rooms. I was a little disappointed when there was no mention of my birthday from them even a word, though I messaged them how excited I was for the holiday for my 50th birthday when I booked. Not that I expected to get anything, but it would been nice if they gave me a greeting.

Lovely room, great location

The check in time is 15:00, hope it is flexible if the room is ready.

The room is so clean and big for a family. The furniture is in good condition and quality. It was quiet and I didnt hear any noise from neighbours. The dinner was great too, I could feel that the chef was passionate. The breakfast was ok.

Great location, exceptional views, comfortable clean room with everything you need. Food was delicious too and fantastic staff.

Toilet to sink was a bit snug.

The room was nice clean and comfortable. The staff were great and they'd had a very busy day by all accounts. Shower was good. Food and drink in the pub was lush.

It’s hard to find much to criticise about the overall experience; if being pedantic the fruit juice served at breakfast could have been fresh rather than the low-end cartoned stuff as this really wasn’t in keeping with the overall quality and attention to detail everywhere else.

Well located off the main A road but still remarkably quiet from the room in the coach house. A quaint traditional venue with 400 years of history and plenty to see on site. There were a number of local walks from the hotel, plus a spot to sit and watch for badgers. The bar was well stocked, the beer gardens were sunny and relaxing, the breakfast was great, the beds were comfy, the shower was excellent, rooms clean, free parking on site - pretty much faultless and I’ve already recommended this place to a friend. We would definitely return, which says it all!

Great room full of character. Food was excellent and the staff are amazing

There was a buzzing sound the small single bed all night. Maybe a loose wire.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was very comfortable and Badger watching amazing

Nothing

Perfect location, staff couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was lovely and nothing was too much. All the staff were great but especially great with the kids, giving colouring packs to keep them entertained and stopping to chat to them.

The bathroom was great but the shower itself was very disappointing as the pressure was terrible and it only ran extremely hot.

Historic. Charming. Great location. Lovely food. Badgers!

The bathrooms are a bit dated. I personally don't object and everything was spotlessly clean. And of course, the old adage holds true "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" so I really do appreciate looking after what is already there. (This just shows I had to work hard to find something I didn't like!)

The Badger Bar was everything we were hoping for! We loved the beautiful historical building and appreciated its interesting history. We found the location was superb for getting to many interesting walks and attractions really easily. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfasts were outstanding. We didn't get a chance to have an evening meal on site but the menu read very well, and I'm sure the food matched the quality of the lovely cooked breakfasts. We enjoyed sitting in the bar in the evenings and, of course, enjoyed going on "badger watch" with other guests. But the best part of Badger Bar is the people, so a big shout out to everyone who welcomed us so warmly, looked after us, gave us tips for exploring the area and had a laugh with us. Much appreciated!

A massive pothole when I drove into the car park.

Clean and spacious room. I enjoyed looking at the badgers being fed in the evenings. The breakfast was included in the price and excellent.

Nothing to dislike

Location perfect for my stay with onsite parting and lovely comfortable accomodation and good food

We were genuinely touched by the kindness and personal care extended to us throughout our stay. From the moment we checked in, we were welcomed by warm, empathetic staff who made us feel truly valued. As a Muslim guest, I initially overlooked the fact that the establishment is primarily a bar/pub. However, it turned out to be a peaceful environment throughout the day, and with the bar closing by 10 PM, which made all the difference. When we raised concerns about potential cross-contamination of the vegetarian breakfast with non-halal products, the staff handled it with great sensitivity. One of the team members personally consulted the chef, who kindly came out to speak with us. He clearly explained the additional precautions he would take and made sure we were comfortable with the arrangements. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was both pleasant and respectful of our needs. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved — your thoughtful service truly made our experience memorable.

Lovely building with lots of character. Excellent staff and food. Generous portions. Very popular place and we can see why. Saw badgers too which was awesome.

Always love staying here! Such a lovely place, food is fab and the staff are great. The badgers are also pretty amazing to see!

The room I was in was perfectly fine but just needed a bit of redecorating.

Great location. Lovely old building full of character

Peatumiskuupäev: juuli 2025

Shower water pressure was low, but manageble.

Nice place, friendly staff. Close to the hiking trail we were doing.
