Absolutely lovely pub hotel. Rooms were great, comfortable beds, great selection of tea/coffee sachets in the room and a good smart TV. The breakfast was excellent. Staff very friendly. So quiet and peaceful but 3 minute drive to Ullswater. I walked down to Aira Force from the hotel which was a bonus. We'll be back!

This was a last minute booking, we really enjoyed our stay. Food is excellent, staff are friendly & helpful. Hotel would benefit from some TLC & a little update. Stair carpet frayed, bedroom walls are ready for a coat of emulsion, but we would stay again.
