I love the atmosphere in the pub. The food was excellent with a really good selection including a number of gluten free and vegetarian options. My room was clean and had everything I might need and was very affordable. I like that there are walking routes starting directly from the car park. It’s also only a 20 minute drive from here to Wasdale which makes it a fantastic base camp for a number of the highest mountains in the area. There were a number of options for the included breakfast and my eggs Benedict was delicious.
With scenic views from every room, Stanley House features a beautiful garden and cosy guest lounge with a log fire. There is free private parking is available.

It is a tranquil and peaceful place with a handy backyard garden. The kitchenette is well equipped hence it was easy to cook for our children. The family room was extremely spacious and comfortable, however, our stay was too short to enjoy all the property offers to the full extent.
1692 Wasdale is closed to Gosforth and features a garden, terrace and shared lounge. Rooms include a patio with a sea view. At the hotel, the rooms come with a desk.

Staff were very friendly. Clean and well furnished room. Really good breakfast choice and quality. Nice little touches like a cake put out everyday for guests to eat free of charge and an on site hot tub

Really nice rooms. We ate in the bar & grill for dinner and had breakfast and the food was great and they catered for vegan really well! The service was fantastic, staff really looked after us and from what we could see all guests.

It is right on the Estuary and the views at sunset were amazing - the room was lovely, clean and warm. There is a little surprise from the first tap in bathroom!

Did the job, cute wee room above a traditional Cumbrian pub. Great place to stay if you also want to enjoy some real ales and Cumbrian food. The staff were all lovely and it had good heating (not always the case in these parts). The breakfast the next day was tasty and served in front of a roaring fire.

I loved the location brilliant for walks and seeing the beautiful lakes.
I can't fit this on a simple review. If you like the great outdoors just go and explore. One of my favourite spots in Cumbria. No lake, but it makes up for this in scenery and crystal clear mountain streams.

Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend...
Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend away with our dog. There are so many amazing walks from the doorstep and there are some lovely dog friendly pubs in Boot which you can find on foot. The food and service in the Brook house Inn was great. We Recommend the Stanley Ghyll waterfall, it was spectacular, and only a short walk from the cottage.

Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far...
Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far from Scafell etc.. Cumbria and the Lakes is a huge area with limited access by road so staying near your plans of adventure is a quite key now (fuel) and time on the road. I have stayed in Eskdale (the area) quite a few times now in different accommodation. It is what I want ie staying in the countryside of this beautiful place, you have your village shop and pubs and inns, leave your woes on a tree somewhere well before you get there and feel the tranquillity of why you came in the first place.

Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district...
Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district with stunning views and a good base for exploring Wasdale with all its mountains and the spectacular Wastwater. Also access to the little railway and the passes over to Landgdale and the busy Lake district. All roads out of Eskdale have great views. It is even handy for the unspoiled coastline. One of the best places to get away from the crowds.

Eskdale is for walkers.
Eskdale is for walkers. The paths we trod had clear signposts. The paths were well used. We were fortunate with the weather and the views were amazing. But that is what we went for.
We also travelled on the Ravenglass Eskdale miniature railway which is always great fun.It is enjoyed by all ages.
I would avoid walking on any of the roads. The hotel is on the road which leads to Hardknott and Wrynose Passes and some (not all) drivers, clearly from a city environment, are so intent on crossing the passes they have no consideration for any people walking along the roads.
The actual road surface could do with a lot of patching. Eskdale has more than its fair share of potholes!
Fantastic and beautiful location with great views of hills all around. Drying room was much appreciated after a soaking in the hills! You can enjoy the lounge and other public facilities before or after check-in/check-out. The restaurant and bar (dinner and breakfast only) menu looked good although I only used the bar. Lots of fridge space and everything you could want in the kitchen. Beds were comfy and showers were good. I don’t know how they can provide so many facilities for such a good price.
Fantastic hotel located in a beautiful location overlooking the hills, lots of greenery around, on the other side of the hotel you can hear the murmur of a stream. There are also animals Peacocks, ducks, pigs, chanterelles Very polite staff, delicious breakfast (choice). I recommend it to anyone who wants a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, Fantastic location of the hotel. I would also recommend it to anyone going to Scefell Pike, the hotel is close to the Lake District.
A charming hotel in a rural & beautiful location. Great to explore the Wasdale area of the Lake District& to climb Scafell Pike if you want to! The staff were friendly & attentive. The food was excellent, really delicious! The menu for the evening was extensive & varied. We also loved seeing the Peacocks, Chickens, Geese & the pigs. The jacuzzi bath was such a welcome sight after a long hike. We’d love to visit again!
We stayed in Lamplugh house at Irton hall in a group of 5.. got there late after Scafell Pike but the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating as we had a meal booked but had to change the time..
There was a log fire with wood to burn in the property which was lovely after we came in from the cold although it has central heating..
wish we stayed longer as it was a lovely place and will be booking again ..
Forest How is a little gem tucked away in a quiet corner of Eskdale surrounded by a beautiful garden filled with the sounds of birds and frequented by red squirrels. No faux boutique touches here just the perfect guest house, quintessentially English, done to perfection. Best of all are the wonderful breakfasts served up by friendly mother and daughter team who run the show.
On the description of the hotel it said it was one of the oldest hotels in the lakes which was really cool, the images however absolutely did not replicate the place. It was so run down ragged and stinky. My images of the room are to show how astonishing and completely gobsmacked i was by this
Hotel was quaint and clean, was great to have access to a kitchen on site, too.
Location is lovely - lots of nice walks and Inns nearby, peaceful garden behind the property too. Stanley Ghyll Waterfall and the Japanese Garden in Giggle Alley were particular highlights for walking.
Excellent hotel in stunning location. Spacious rooms. Huge kitchen dining. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful river right on doorstep. PLEASE follow the directions advice from the hotel. There are a few very dangerous roads if you don’t take their directions. Avoid Hardknott pass
Spot on location central to some fantastic walks in the Eskdale valley, friendly staff, lovely variety of food and drinks (Wood fired Pizza oven on site) plenty of parking, friendly laid back accomadating atmosphere, comfortable clean rooms, a great place to stay
great location and Pele tower was ideal for a big group with the games room being a nice extra. staff were very pleasant and the hotel bar was great. we had a great stay and thought it offered good value.
The hotel itself is a little tired but otherwise comfortable. The food is excellent, hearty fare with a good selection of beer and wine. It is an ideal location to explore the western lakes.
We liked everything about it, staff were friendly and made us welcome rooms were clean and comfortable and plenty on the menu to choose from and enjoyed both breakfast and evening meal.
