Great breakfast and location. Close to boat and bus stops, other facilities of town.

Jon United States of America

Excellent location in the heart of Glenridding. Building is historic and thus has some quirks but the room was very large, everything was clean, and I enjoyed me stay there.

Rustin United States of America

I stayed here 25 years ago and a lot has changed since then. Fantastic place with friendly staff.. beds were comfortable and the kids loved the swimming pool and also the 9ft snooker table.

Gurjit United Kingdom

Friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic location. Excellent room and great breakfast. Nice downstairs bar.

Mike United Kingdom

Stayed with my 4 year old daughter whilst I’m 36 weeks pregnant and we had the most amazing time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the car park is very useful. The highlight of our stay is definitely the swimming pool and the location is incredible. A very short walk to the nearest shop and around 2 minutes walk to the Ullswater steamers where you can get the aira force shuttle or steamers to Pooley Bridge etc. We will definitely be staying again as soon as we can!

Tia United Kingdom

Plenty to eat in full cooked breakfast. The room was good size and very comfortable, The location was perfect and was why we chose hotel ,

Kevinh57 United Kingdom

swimming pool, location. great breakfast and great staff.

Tomasz United Kingdom

Nice old hotel with lots of character in a great position on the banks of Ullswater and near some spectacular scenery. As with all hotels at the moment there is a problem with not enough staff. However, the staff that were there were friendly and energetic and could not be faulted. Especial mention for Victor who seemed to run the breakfast restaurant on his own and was a really delightful character and for the lady who cleaned and refreshed the rooms who seemed to do the whole hotel on her own but was always smiling and helpful. It is a great pity that the hotel management seem intent on removing the (very nice) swimming pool - a very short sighted policy.

Andy United Kingdom

Excellent location. Helpful & friendly staff. Good breakfast.
