The staff were all very friendly. Our room Bowfell has a great view and very comfy bed. Good selection of ales on draft Fantastic artwork throughout

Sam United Kingdom

Room was spacious, quite modern and exceptionally clean and tidy. Nice bathroom as well. COVID compliance was great - even plan for breakfast was accomplished really well.

Debora United States of America

Friendly, prompt and efficient staff. Comfortable room and a grand view of the fell. Excellent food -unpretentious and getting the details right. The walks booklet had a set of three, ranging from mild to strenuous, with such accurate directions you only needed a map to give you the general idea (we did the strenuous).

Sarah United Kingdom

The hotel was amazing beautifully decorated warm and friendly, the staff were brilliant. Fabulous rooms, lots of attention to detail even fresh milk for morning coffee in the rooms. The evening meal was delicious as was the breakfast. After a long days walk the lift was an added bonus for stiff legs. I would highly recommend staying with Samantha and Mark they were the perfect hosts we will definitely be returning.

Leanne United Kingdom
