Would not return

Room very hot and you could feel the springs in the bed. The Bathroom was decorated beautifully but the shower was only a hand held over the bath tap connection type with no hook to stand it on so you had to hold it and no shower curtain so water ended up everywhere. My husband is tall 6ft 4 and was too tall for the shower, and had to bend down to miss the ceiling. Limited room to place clothing so the floor ended up being our wardrobe. The room was not generous in size so we were jumping clothes piles. Breakfast was ok but croissants very dry. People very friendly.

Weekend stay, 2 adults & 1 child

Not having a shower is literally the only negative I can give on this hotel (Room 11) There is a handheld shower head but after a days walking a proper stand up shower is essential (to us). Other than this I have nothing by praise for the place. Good food, good rooms, fantastic staff. Thank You!!

Breakfast ok .

Great hotel/pub in good central location

Lovely room at front of hotel included a balcony with seating to enjoy the view of the high street and front of hotel. Good location for Ullswater in centre of Pooley Bridge. Onsite restaurant had good varied menu and full breakfast options were delicious. Comfortable bed and onsite parking. Staff friendly and very helpful.

Good Hotel

The staff at this hotel are absolutely excellent. Room facilities great, but the room was on the first floor and I had asked for accessible room as my husband has severe mobility issues. In effect when he left the room it was a struggle for him to go back during the day until he absolutely had to.

The whole place is spotless and great location, the price was fantastic for a family and the room had nearly eveything you could need ( no milk for a cuppa). Only snag was it was red hot and the staff didn't know how to turn off the bathroom heater which was in full whack and too hot to touch, the window in there is a low level skylight accessible from the bath by a child so not safe to remain open as advised by the lady on the phone, so myself and my children were up and unsettled all night so we left shattered and unrested, breakfast was also good.
