The breakfast was excellent with about 10 choices. The staff were always pleasant and helpful with advice about local attractions. The bedrooms were cleaned daily to a high standard. The bar staff were similarly helpful and pleasant.

Mitzithedog United Kingdom

Really good location in Hawkshead, great space inside and out. Friendly staff and the drinks were fantastic. Had a few G&Ts and they were made exceptionally well. Had a live singer on the Friday night too which was a nice surprise. Plus a roast hog on offer too as there wasn’t an offering of evening meal. Also breakfast was fantastic.

Hanna United Kingdom

Kyle United States of America

The breakfast was superb, the best we have ever had in any pub/hotel. It was hot, tasty and very good variety. And it was cooked lovely, there was plenty of it. The staff were lovely and friendly. The only disappointment there was no evening meals in the pub. But we could bring in our own food if we wished.

Irene United Kingdom

Breakfast was excellent and set us up for the day. Room was very clean and comfortable. Evening entertainment was also a bonus and we enjoyed sitting in the bar listening to music or taking part in the quiz.

Austin United Kingdom

the location, the staff, the chocolate on our second day, the breakfast, the rooms - everything!

Emma United Kingdom

Excellent breakfast. Clean room. The chip shop next door even brought our order into the pub ! Great entertainment that evening from singer Tony H made it a great atmosphere.

Philip United Kingdom

Amazing location in an old inn and in a beautiful old village. Very generous breakfast with a great selection and a daily special. Convenient to have the chippy next door and plenty of space in the parking lot opposite the hotel. We used it as a base for various hikes around the Lake District, easy to get to most places. They even upgraded our room for free when they saw that we're staying for longer - highly recommended! All rooms are well equipped.
