We got the last room left and possibly the smallest, but we did know it was just a double, but the pillows were very hard and made it difficult to sleep, i eventually made a pillow from the bed throw.

Location excellent, beautiful surroundings. Continental breakfast was good with a nice range of food. Pleased there was decaf tea/coffee at breakfast and in the bedroom Bar and range of beers v good, food good, staff much friendlier than previous owners. Last visited 2020. Live music v good, the Mortal Men.

All good

The location is wonderful in the small, quiet village of Troutbeck which is a great starting point to get to many of the lovely sights and mountains of the Lake District - It is very close to Ambleside but Kendal is less than half an hour away and the Kirkstone Pass to Ullswater about 10 minutes away. It is family run and it feels like that - very friendly and warm. Our bedroom which was number 12 was lovely with great views and a great Jacuzzi bath!

Breakfast was good but otherwise the food was expensive and not brilliant.

Good location, friendly staff, as animal lovers we loved that it was dog friendly and had lots of animals on the grounds.

Had some issues with the room, we were swapped for a different one but didn’t feel the price paid really reflected the room standards

Staff were really friendly and helpful

Excellent location . Very friendly staff . Gorgeous views

We had a room. With a fire exit through it. Didn't feel secure although no problems at hotel

Staff were exceptional, continental breakfast was enough to set you up for the day. Open log fires to toast on return from long winter walks

The house keepers didn't replace used towels with sufficient (they only left one set when there were two of us). I would expect the bed to be made properly for the second night. The towels were sorted out very promptly.

Wonderful room (we had the four poster). Amazing location. Great bar and food. The staff on reception and in the bar/restaurant couldn't do enough for us.

Only when we came down for breakfast and no tables had been cleared for us to have breakfast, we moved bowls, mugs etc.. to another full table so we could have breakfast however no one came to provide clean mugs, bowls, bread for the toaster , we walked around for a while but couldn't find anyone. We pressed the bell on reception and no one came. We decided to leave it and check out however waited another 20 minutes of which no one came to check us out therefore left the key on the desk. Real shame as everything was perfect.

The bedroom was lovely, immaculate the hotel decor was gorgeous and the beds were extremely comfy . The staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

The loos in the pub are a bit smelly. Rooms can be a tiny bit cold if you’re there in deep winter.

This a gorgeous old inn in a delightful location. The staff are absolutely charming, the pub/restaurant is a very merry and cosy and serves lovely hearty local fare and a great selection of ales. The inn is gorgeously situated on the edge of Troutbeck with a view of Windermere and some spectacular hikes nearby, Froswick and Wansfell in particular.

Rooms were basic but comfortable. If I’m being super picky, could’ve done with a few extra sockets (only one in the room if watching TV). However clean and warm.

Location is outstanding, very secluded and with spectacular views. The food is excellent, would suggest booking ahead as it gets very busy! Complimentary continental breakfast was very good too.

Bed was uncomfortable. Mattress was way to firm and needed replacing:

Lovely location. Great views nice and peaceful

Furnishings and bedding could be upgraded a bit. There were unnecessary, dated accessories in the room that could simply be removed.

The location is outstanding - so beautiful it makes you want to cry! Beautiful historic building and grounds. Lovely to have the ducks, cats, and horse around. Love how popular and busy the pub is.

Can't think of anything as we only used the hotel as our evening base. The location was great for this :)

The included breakfast was very nice, and relaxing. We have our first night meal here and it was the best pie we have ever had.

The bathroom was a little dated

Views were beautiful, the bar was very good and loved the coal fires, rooms were very comfortable

The bathrooms were a little out dated.

The staff were so lovely. Its such a quaint hotel tucked away on a windy road in the beautiful countryside. Would stay again!

It wasnt a dislike as such, just a niggle, the bathroom window would not shut properly and given the time of year it meant it was quite cold in there and the bed was a little soft for our taste. But this is totally a preference thing nothing bad against the hotel whatsoever.

The hotel was in a stunning location. Staff couldn't have been any friendlier or done more for us. The food downstairs as well was amazing.
