The rooms are located on the floor above the public bar and eating areas. You can book an evening meal if required. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable with no disturbance. Nice breakfast served by friendly staff.

The Pictures Don't Do It Justice.

We had a lovely weekend stay at this country pub with rooms. The owners are lovely and very friendly and welcoming. Its a dog friendly place, so for us, that was perfect. Our room (room 2) was on the ground floor and had a door leading out to the garden, great if you have a dog. The room was a good size and very comfortable, with tea and coffee making facilities, tv and a hairdryer. The king sized bed was good and the bathroom was lovely. We ate dinner and breakfast here both days and the food was great, and the potions were huge. We're looking forward to a return trip.

Hidden Gem

This pub/Hotel was fantastic, Nicola the host could not do enough to make you feel more welcome and at home, the foods amazing! the room was so clean and comfortable and had everything you could need. The breakfast was also amazing. If we do go to this area again i would not hesitate at returning, and also would encourage anyone who is staying in the area to try get booked in there, or even book a meal or Sunday Roast.

Great stay again

We stayed at the old posting house for our annual visit to Keswick where we spread the father in law's ashes. Yet again another great visit . All the staff were really nice,polite and helpful ,without being over bearing . The rooms were,modern ,clean and spacious . The food at night was great . We eat in the bar as our two dogs were with us,and they're allowed in the bar. Really goid quality food,well cooked,full of flavour ,decent portions and a good price . Breakfast was exactly the same too. Will definitely be back again and staying here next year .

A wonderful place to stay

From the warm & friendly welcome to the genuine goodbye our stay was wonderful. Beautiful, clean & spacious, the rooms could not have been any better. The en-suite bathroom was spotless & a really generous size. The food was delicious, beautifully presented & plentiful, well worth staying in for. The Old Posting House is ideally situated as a base to explore further areas, Cockermouth, Whitehaven, Maryport & Lake Buttermere are all worth a visit with other ideas easily found on the internet. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners & staff, they are all warm & friendly. We visited The Old Posting House with friends who loved it there as much as we did & we will all definitely be visiting again.
