Strands Hotel/Inn & Micro Brewery

Staff made us welcome and food excellent

Food on small side and a little dated

Great location for the mountains we wanted to walk Food excellent & generous portions. Atmosphere great in the bar.

Nothing

Couldn't fault it, staff are welcoming, food and drink are excellent location unbeatable.

Excellent location, very comfortable, friendly staff, good food and an excellent breakfast.

Room was clean, good size with massive bed (that was extremely comfortable). Food was excellent, really good quality and generous portion sizes. Staff were extremely helpful.

friendly staff excellent food which was hot & well presented ideal location for our needs

car parking area could be better

Cosy traditional lake district pub. Owner and wife were very friendly and accomadating.

Limited parking for residents as parking spaces used by pub visitors-needs allocated spaces for RESIDENTS ONLY to make residents feel more valued-especialy when you have travelled a long way to get there only to find nowhere to park.

The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. The hotel was clean and had a very good atmosphere.The location was great and ideal for walking and getting on the fells in the western lakes

The bed in our room was on the small side hard and not very comfortable.

The en-suite was amazing and the room itself had excellent storage. The staff were extremely friendly and the pub was fantastic.

We stayed in the executive suite so i would have expected the bed to be abit larger and the TV was very small and the shower and bath werent always very hot.

Very friendly owners and staff. Shame is was working

lovely location, perfect country pub with very friendly staff and very good food.

location, food, friendly, relaxing, rooms, cleanliness.

The atmosphere/ambience. The friendly owners. Their own-brewed beer on sale in the hotel. Straightforward, no-nonsene well-cooked food.

No wi-fi. Bath very slow to fill.

Staff were very helpful and the food was very good

The room could do with updating

The food was good and the staff/owners were extremely hospitable.

The room was draughty and in need of upgrading. The shower room was small, cold and unpleasant and the shower did not work properly. The linen did not fit the bed - hard to understand as it was a standard double.

Loved the beer and food. The staff were all very friendly. Truly excellent. I really enjoyed staying it he local pub, it really felt like it was the hub of the village.

Nothing I didn't like.

the friendliness of the staff and locals and, of course, their own beers!

would have liked more choice on the menu plus A choice of an 8oz gammon as well as A 16oz which was way too big for little me!

The owners were friendly, worked as hard as their staff and nothing was too much trouble .Very happy atmosphere in bar and food was very good .

Lovely location; very friendly and helpful staff; excellent food; and wonderful beer!!! I stayed for 4 nights on a walking break with my son and would have loved to have stayed longer. Located off the beaten track in a quiet village close to the end of Wast Water - the Strands is a great base for a walking in and around unspoilt Wasdale. I would recommend the Strands to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable base for a walking holiday in Cumbria. I will definitely be back!

Excellent as always.home away from home!

The Strands is a lovely location in the wilds of Cumbria and nicely off the beaten track. The staff were friendly and helpful; the food was excellent and the breakfast really set you up for the day.There were 6 cask beers in the bar, all from the brewery on site and all good, especially the lighter ales. The free WiFi was an added bonus, as was the lack of mobile phone signal! All round, it was 4 days well spent and I would recommend The Strands to anyone wanting to walk, climb or just explore the area. Would I go back again? You bet!

Great location, a very short drive from Wast Water from where Scafel Pike can be climbed. Friendly and helpful owners and staff who were willing to give advice on what to do and where to visit. Cosy pub with good food and tasty beer brewed on site. The room (room 2) was comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Shampoo and shower gel in tiny sachets- best to bring your own. This is only a minor complaint as everything else about the stay was perfect.

The Pubs own Beers and the Good Food

Restrictive Parking

The service and food was impeccable

A very welcoming environment and Mark & Leslie were lovely hosts and very friendly and helpful. The same can be said of the staff. The place has a lovely atmosphere and the food was wonderful. We will definitely be returning!
