Beautiful setting but in need of a little TLC. Staff were very friendly and helpful but too few in numbers - food service was slow although very good quality. No staff on reception, you have to find someone from behind the bar and our room was not made up despite handing in the form at reception to request this.
Musty/damp smell on top floor.
Also limited choice at breakfast - no fruit!

Last minute booking
Quick night away for a hike .
The hotel as just got new owners and the manager Francesca and staff couldn't do enough considering the workload and changes they are having to do.
Beautiful room in the attic even though it was just a standard room. Great breakfast and plenty coffee & tea in room too. Brilliant location and free parking included too.
I'm looking forward to going back after the upgrades and changes.

Lovely hotel situated deep within the Langdale valley. Fantastic walking options from the front door. The restaurant & bar are a very welcome oasis at the end of a day’s walking. Gorgeous views to be had all around. Ample parking available. Our bathroom could’ve done with a bit of work (extractor fan not working), but otherwise very comfortable and recommended.

Great location, right at the bottom of the Dungeon Ghyll. Staff were really nice, and worked hard to make everyone happy. Whole place looking tired and dated now (or oddly modernised), in need of sympathetic renovation back to a classic Lakeland hotel style.

Perfect location in a stunning part of the Lake District. Perfect base for numerous hikes in the area. Room very comfortable and clean. Food very good, but service was a little erratic. Staff very helpful and welcoming.

Easily my favourite place to stay in the Lakes!
Brilliant, cosy inn with restaurant, and great rooms and Teapigs in the rooms… beats a cheap coffee sachet. The staff were really friendly, and my daughter and I loved our stay for two days climbing in the Lakes. The breakfasts are superb too.

A great base for walking.
We really enjoyed our 2 view room and the log fires.
We stayed in January and enjoyed the area being quite than later in the year.

Check in was quick and easy. Dinner was good. Breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked.
Staff was very friendly. We were stayed just for one night. Was really bonus that we were allowed to.leave our car in hotel car park until before 2 pm after we checked out, so we can hikes to Stickle Tarn. Great location definitely recomended.
