A wonderful welcome with afternoon tea. Very quiet and most comfortable. Our host Pat could not have been more welcoming or more pleasant. Equally all the locals we met, both walking to the local pub and in it, were friendly and helpful.

David

Situated close enough to Keswick but far enough away to be quiet. Local pub (Black Lion) was excellent for food. Breakfast at Woodlands was great. Enjoyed a nice cap in the bar after returning from the pub and host Judith was very accommodating and personable.

We couldn't fault the hotel, it was good value and service.
Comfortable hotel with a very comfortable bed. A lovely cooked breakfast, the owner, Judith, is a friendly host, who was happy to meet all of our requests. We were spoilt on arrival with a pot of tea and delicious lemon cake. In our bedroom was bottled water, and all of the required items for hot drinks, with delicous home baked shortbread, chocolates in a dish too, a nice touch. There was a nice well stocked bar open to us in the lounge when we wanted to relax with a nice drink. We would definitely return if in the area again.
