8/10 Very good
while the hotel is dated , the room was clean and a bath was perfect after a cold wet hike. Staff were really good and breakfast was lovely. Would happily recommend and will definitely come back .

We loved the location of the hotel which is very close to some excellent walks around Ullswater. The decor of the rooms is a bit dated but they were clean. The breakfast was good, but the staff were very quick to remove your plates.
The reason I did not give this five stars was because the noise at night, as it was next to the main road and the dated decor. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay at a very reasonable cost.

Mid hotel
Hotel itself was ok, very outdated and the rook very small and needs a lick of paint, the wooden corridors are something from the 80s, reception staff is asked some questions and the lady continued with what she was doing and kept ignoring me.
Mattress on the bed was flimsy and not comfortable at all woke up with back ache.
Breakfast half cooked was OK
Pros of hotel, entertainment of an older gentleman in the bar he was lovely and sang well.

Lovely area and perfect position for the Coast to Coast Walk. Staff were lovely and helpful. The only negative side to the stay was the evening meal which was very mediocre and certainly not worth £30!

A charming Lake District hotel with good food and excellent service, with free parking.
The bedrooms were on the small side and so was the bathroom. The wifi was poor in the bedroom.

Decent, No-nonsense Hotel
Standard hotel, rooms are basic and functional, though in need of refurbishment in some areas. Having said that, there is a nice, lived-in feel about the place, so maybe it doesn't need too much gentrification. Staff are extremely polite, helpful and efficient, much more so than in most more-expensive hotels I have visited.
Dinner was a little bit disappointing, breakfast was better!
Overall, it's a decent place to stay if you are active and looking for somewhere to stay where you won't feel out of place coming in muddy and wet.

Friendly hotel, great location, needs updating
After having heard lots of good things about the hotel I finally got the chance to visit.
The location is great, especially for Ullswater. Glenridding is a short walk away. The main car park was full pretty much for my entire stay, so I parked in the car park over the road (there were plenty of spaces and this didn't incur a charge).
Hospitality is on request only. Unfortunately, when I asked for it, my bins weren't emptied as requested.
The WiFi and phone reception (for me at least) was absolutely terrible, although I know this can often be a problem in the Lakes, based on past recommendations.
Breakfast is OK. Evening meals are also possible and there is also a bar in the property. There is a pleasant lounge on the ground floor too. There is entertainment in the bar on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
As mentioned in other reviews, this hotel does need updating. Some ceiling paper needs to be replaced and carpets in the corridors and staircases were old.
A friendly hotel overall.
