Place was warm and parking good. However would not stay again. No wifi, our room was too far away from the booster, however 3 ppl gave me a different reason why it wasn’t working which were all in conflict. Many dishes were dirty, there was still rubbish left under the sink previous occupants face cloths left in the freezer and no toiletries. Very disappointing.

Lovely inn dating back to 1688. Food was delicious and the rooms were cosy. For those who are on the taller side, it's worth noting that as part of the charm of a building built in the 1600's, you will find yourself having to duck underneath the doorframes!

Quaint Cottage in The Lakes

Fantastic cottage, just 5 miles from Keswick. Small and quaint, everything you need for a week away. Kitchen well stocked, private outside area to sit and chill of an evening. To big bedrooms, one with an ensuite plus a main bathroom. Real value for money!! I would strongly recommend and stay!

Heads up on the damp

Sadly they are still to refurbish some of the bedrooms, the room I had had damp everywhere, patches of plaster off the wall. Had I know I would not have booked that place, when i complained they apologised but that was it, marred my stay with them definately.

A lovely stay

We had an amazing time. The food amazing in a gorgeous pub. The atmosphere and hospitality was fantastic everyone made us feel welcome very friendly especially the lovely Keith, what a legend! Loved listening to the stories & the history of the building he was brilliant! We paid £132 a night (Tuesday( for our room, there was a few minor problems, especially the volume of the music that we could hear while in our room played in the bar & we did also wonder if it was actually a Superior room, (room 5). We would definitely stay again but request a different room.
