Lovely little hotel, good base

Lovely little hotel in an ideal spot, not too far from Keswick, but far enough for quiet. Plenty of walks near by and a good base to set up from to get around. We did take our dogs, and the hotel was very welcoming. The only issue we had was the car park was littered with dog poo and it was a battle to not stand in it. Had this not been an issue, we would have provided 5 stars all round.

Signs for disabled parking could be better. If you are looking for a large room you won't get it here, but it was the right size for us. Glad we were 'upgraded' as think original room would have been too small. If you have a disability make sure you say something as no lift.

Ideal for local hiking

Ideal base for a few days hiking, particularly in the area of Thirlmere & Helvellyn from Swirls. We weren’t in the hotel too much due to hiking, but more than adequate after a tiring day in the fells. Room was comfortable, if a little small (but there are different choices of room type, so you book for your needs!). Clean & well presented. Comfy bed, great amenities for drinks & snacks. Continental breakfast was ideal. Kings Head inn 2 min drive down the road & highly recommend for a post hike reward of beer & a good evening meal! Staff at accommodation were lovely, good conversation, professional, quick check in, always about if you wanted to make a purchase from the cafe. Would definitely recommend for the type of trip we had planned. One little improvement would be maybe the suggestion of some drying facilities for wet hiking gear….. it is the Lakes after all, we did struggle with drying our boots for the next day. Not the end of the world though and would book again either way!

The only fault I would have is that the bed was uncomfortable and there was some road noise at night, otherwise everything was excellent.

Room was very nice, clean and comfortable. En-suite was a little dated however still nice and clean with good shower pressure and hot water. Very quiet surrounding area made for a peaceful nights sleep. Check-in and check-out was quick and efficient with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast and parking was £13 extra, however for an extra £3 per person a full english was available a minutes drive down the road which was very reasonable. Overall a decent and recommended night’s stay.

Room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was small in relation to the room but overall okay - a few extra touches such as better toiletries would make the room that little bit nicer and feel less like a budget hotel. The continental breakfast was sufficient - people with dietary requirements may struggle unless informing the hotel in advance. I enjoyed the barista made coffee in the morning. Sadly Wi-Fi in the room was really poor but it’s unlikely you’ll be in your room for long periods of time considering the beautiful surroundings.
