Noisy pub below room

There was a party on I. The bar/room below our room and was very shouty and noisy. We had to call reception before they quietens down. This was just before midnight and we were very tired.

Very Basic accommodation

When we got there wanted a card number but only had my phone, so had to leave a £50 deposit until checked out. No where did it mention this when booking or on confirmation email. Booking stated breakfast was included in price but only basic continental. They wanted £12 each extra if wanted full breakfast. This breakfast type should have been stated on hotels.com site. No bed side lamp in rooms so had to get out of bed to turn main light off. Staff was friendly but hotel price was not worth it for the standard of accommodation received and I have stayed in 100s of different hotels during my career.

Disappointing breakfast and room.

Staying one night meeting with family. Room was small, nowhere to put a suitcase, no charger in bathroom for toothbrushes of shaver. Meal was more expensive than on website menu. Booked through Hotels.com and described as bed and breakfast, When we arrived breakfast was described as Continental. Cereals, tea, coffee, toast and small shop dry pastries. Told there was yoghurts in fridge, actually 2 only there. Breakfast was from 6am but no staff until 8am, you had to make breakfast yourself. Really disappointed as location is lovely.

We arrived for 1 night on the Friday and the greeting was warm and friendly.The room was lovely and clean and comfortable. We came back down to eat and the food was fine.... the cheesecake was amazing! We had a few games of pool and a few more drinks and all night the service was friendly and attentive. We went upstairs to bed about half 10 and apparently the walls are very thin and we must have been breathing too loudly for the people in the next room who decided to take objection and come out and knock really loudly on the door..... and then decided to wake us up at 6.45 in the morning by banging really loudly on the wall.... not the hotels fault but worth keeping in mind if you dare talk in your room at a considerate volume that it may cause offence and a lack of sleep. The cooked breakfast wasnt worth the money (the sausage was a really weird texture.....), grab yourself a coffee and a couple of bits of toast and go elsewhere. But also we really appreciated the chef allowing us to change our booked time from 9.30 to 9 after our rude awakening from the shire!

Lovely inn, friendly staff and comfy bed

Greeted by a cheerful and friendly member of staff. Booked in and showed to our room, called the Collie room. A lovely picture of a collie dog on the wall and two collie dog mugs in the room. Cosy room with comfy bed. The only minor drawback was that there was no bedside lights which was slightly awkward for reading

Great place to stay to explore the lakes

Overall, the stay was very good and was perfect for our trip to the Lake District. The location is perfect for navigating the Lakes as easy access to the M6. To the top of the lakes, it took us 1 hour by car. The continental breakfast served was plenty to start each day with. You can have cooked for £12 extra but we felt the continental option was more than enough. The room was spacious and up to date. We stayed in the Herdsman. Only downside was the walls are very thin, meaning you can hear quite a lot next door conversation but that is to be expected in a pub with partition walls. The pub itself is traditional and well kept together. Food served was standard pub food. Free parking is always a massive bonus.
