Lock in a great price for The Wilson Arms - rated 9 by recent guests.

to get started.

The continental breakfast was excellent and wholesome with local baked bread and home made preserves. The open log fire in the bar area added to the ambulance and atmosphere

Neil, United Kingdom

Dean, United Kingdom

Good pub style hotel. Very good food well served.

John, United Kingdom

Good location for short weekend break fell walking. Good beer and the bar continued to serve till late (11.30). Beautiful looking pub from the outside building the expectation of finding a truly traditional Lakeland pub within (which unfortunately it is not - the descriptions on Booking.com are incorrect in this respect).

Terry, United Kingdom

Stayed in room one, absolutely lovely room. Copper bath was amazing. Food was lovely, read on trip advisor prior that the food was lovely so we made sure we booked a table each night, well worth it. Loved the decor. Comfortable bed. Room service excellent. Staff all friendly and polite.

Ashleigh, United Kingdom

The Wilson was alovely place to stay.The bedroom and bathroom were fantastic.

Susan, United Kingdom

Excellent food great menu. I would recommend the full English breakfast plus eggs Benedict our favourites. Also the fillet steak and gammon they're to die for.

눉The TV in my room didn't work, a very nice male staff member tried to fix it without success, he offered to change my room, having unpacked I repacked and transferred everything to my newly appointed room which was lovely. Next morning a female member of staff told me the problem was the aerial had slipped out of the back of the TV therefore no signal. She implied this was my fault and said as the TV was now working I had to return to the original room as they were fully booked. There was no apology, I returned my things to the original room for my second night. The lady, whom I think may have been the proprietor was not at all friendly, fortunately the other staff were very pleasant and helpful.
눇There were no croissants offered in 'continental breakfast' but toast was good, lots of butter and lovely homemade marmalade.

“Failed to meet expectations given the price, especially when a full breakfast is priced in.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double Room

눉The layout, peculiar decor and modern furnishings make the bar of the Wilson Arms feel more like a dysfunctional seaside cafe than a country pub. Our room followed a similar theme.. lots of pine... and with mirrors all over the bathroom.... 12 images of myself before breakfast is not good!! The standard room rate (£100) includes a continental breakfast. No croissants, cheese or ham/meat. Just cereal, bread, jam, fruit & yogurt. So unattractive that most customers seemed to be ordering extras from the breakfast menu. We were charged an extra £10 each for a Full English (over and above the £5 each that the pub menu suggests is the value of a continental breakfast). This is profiteering!! The pub could so easily become a charming and very popular place to stay, eat and drink but some work is needed!
눇Good location for short weekend break fell walking. Good beer and the bar continued to serve till late (11.30). Beautiful looking pub from the outside building the expectation of finding a truly traditional Lakeland pub within (which unfortunately it is not - the descriptions on Booking.com are incorrect in this respect).

눉We stayed Friday and Saturday night. Room one was right above the bar, didn't get any sleep on the Saturday night as it was so noisy in the court yard/jacuzzi area. Even with the window closed it felt like we we're sat outside with them. Couldn't find a number to ring for the b&b, did have a wander downstairs to see if I could find anyone once it got to around 2am and it was still so noisy, but couldn't find anyone who worked there. We were checking out early that day so was a bit rubbish being awake until 4am.
눇Stayed in room one, absolutely lovely room. Copper bath was amazing. Food was lovely, read on trip advisor prior that the food was lovely so we made sure we booked a table each night, well worth it. Loved the decor. Comfortable bed. Room service excellent. Staff all friendly and polite.
