I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the delicious roast dinner during my stay. It was nice to unwind on the sun terrace after a long day of walking. The only downside was that my room got a bit noisy from the busy road outside. 😊

Amazing service and comfy stay!
Had a fab time! Nichola was super helpful when I needed to change our dates, even on her day off. The twin room was really modern and comfy. Loved hanging out in the bar area, good vibes. Just wish the Wi-Fi was faster – had a bit of trouble streaming my shows.

Peaceful stay with tasty food!
Had a lovely night. The food was a real highlight—both dinner and brekkie were top-notch! Our room was cozy and super quiet, which made for a nice chill vibe. One small letdown? The check-in took a bit long. But overall, it was a nice little escape for the fam.

missingWrote a review on 07 Juncomfortable roomfriendly staffgood breakfastcleanliness concernslimited dinner options
Great location near Haweswater and High Street walking. The staff greeted us warmly upon arrival. The breakfast had a good variety, including vegan options, which I appreciated. My room, a Deluxe Double, was comfortable, featuring a cozy bed. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious. however, I noticed some cleanliness issues in the shower room. It felt like it needed a good scrub, and overall, the room seemed dated. The shower also had inconsistent water pressure. I was disappointed that I couldn't find the advertised vegetarian options on the evening menu. Still, the ambiance in the pub area created a relaxed vibe after a long day of hiking.
