Crown Inn at Pooley Bridge

Beautifully decorated and appointed room. Spotlessly clean and great attention to detail.

Clean, modern bedrooms, great food and very attentive staff.

Overnight stop in the lakes on the way home from Scotland; the Crown Inn is a lovely hotel with friendly, attentive staff. Covid processes worked well. We would consider returning for a longer stay in future.

Lovely room. Great food, especially the rib eye steak - superb!

Although this was the first time I'd stayed at Crown Inn, I have previously eaten in their restaurant so I knew to expect the friendly, warm welcome that I received from all the staff. I'd booked one of their 'dog friendly' rooms, which was separate from the main building but still furnished and maintained to the same high standard. It wasn't a large room but it had the usual amenities and would comfortably suit a couple or solo traveller such as myself, with or without a small to medium sized dog. The bed was very comfortable, allowing a peaceful night's rest and the rainfall shower felt wonderful after a long day walking on the fells. Breakfast was included with my room booking. Served in the main restaurant, the menu is well thought out to cater for all tastes. I opted for the full English, which was delicious and the waiter was even kind enough to provide a rasher of bacon for my canine companion. I also ate my evening meals in the Crown. The menu offered the usual British pub classics cooked to an excellent standard and reasonably priced. I thoroughly enjoyed them. The Crown backs onto the River Eamont with a lovely paved outdoor seating area and grass bank down to the water that provides the perfect view of the new Pooley Bridge — opened in October 2020 to replace the 18th Century bridge that was washed away by floodwater in 2015.

Was great not been there for 30 yrs be coming back soon Ronnie

The room, bathroom and overall interiors were modern.

Good location, lovely views and perfect for our overnight stop

The room they gave us was an 'accessible' room, a short distance from the hotel, even though neither of us were disabled. Unfortunately this meant that the mirror and sink in the bathroom were very low and there was a walk-in shower but with nowhere to put your shower gel or shampoo. The tv didn't work but was sorted promptly once we'd reported it and the bedside lamp couldn't be used, presumably because the bulb had gone. The kettle was on the dressing table, but there was no socket to plug it in there, so we had to plug it in either on the bedside table or in the socket near the floor. Neither of these were particularly appropriate places. At breakfast, it took 20 mins for our coffee and juice to come, then they brought me my porridge and my cooked breakfast together at the same time. How strange is that? My husband got his cornflakes brought to him after his cooked breakfast had arrived.Weird! Now I've stayed at a lot of hotels in my time, but I really do think that for £136pn with breakfast included, I would've expected a far nicer type of room than the one they gave us.Would I go back? To Pooley Bridege-yes, to that hotel, probably not!

Great welcome and staff performance. Food and Breakfast excellent. Only downside was Small Double we had was too Small!
