Lovely short stay 😊

Flexible on check in as we were after 9.30pm which was great! There was no info on breakfast times on the website or booking confirmation so I had paid for it, but had to leave the hotel before breakfast had started.

Signs for disabled parking could be better. If you are looking for a large room you won't get it here, but it was the right size for us. Glad we were 'upgraded' as think original room would have been too small. If you have a disability make sure you say something as no lift.

Modern with great views

Views were amazing, location was great. Very modern, almost had a hostel feel to it. It would have been nice to have extra touches to make it feel more homely. Shower smelt a bit like a drain. Staff were very helpful, and it’s a great place to go for walks. Just two things to mention- it’s a cafe onsite (that is open til 9) rather than a bar/ restaurant, and they only serve a continental breakfast, if you want a full English you have to go to a sister hotel down the road, pay extra and they are very strict on times.

There was a family staying there for a week with a new born baby and a toddler The baby was crying at 1 o clock in the morning and first thing in the morning the toddler was stamping around and the parents slammed the doors shut Above all that someone was bagging on the wall because of the noise absolute nightmare The sheets were soiled i realised this when I moved the sheets the next day for the cleaner

Understaffed on arrival. Had to wait 10 minutes to check-in as only one member on who was serving in the coffee shop. However staff were generally helpful. Convenient location for both Keswick and Grasmere/Ambleside. Rooms very clean though bed was harder than I’m used to. The continental breakfast was delicious with unlimited barista-made coffee. I would stay again in the future. Very reasonably priced in a lovely part of the world.

The lady I spoke to on first arrival was very pleasant. I had informed the place that I was bringing 2 dogs, I was put in the very furthest room meaning carrying the extra doggy luggage took several difficult trips. The room was ok except for the fact that it had no windows, just a skylight. So no view of the lovely countryside, in fact no view at all. It was a very hot few days but the only fresh air came from the skylight. It was a precarious climb on the bed to open it. The noise from the traffic on the busy road kept me awake most of the nights. It was very loud.

Lovely little hotel, good base

Lovely little hotel in an ideal spot, not too far from Keswick, but far enough for quiet. Plenty of walks near by and a good base to set up from to get around. We did take our dogs, and the hotel was very welcoming. The only issue we had was the car park was littered with dog poo and it was a battle to not stand in it. Had this not been an issue, we would have provided 5 stars all round.

Ideal for local hiking

Ideal base for a few days hiking, particularly in the area of Thirlmere & Helvellyn from Swirls. We weren’t in the hotel too much due to hiking, but more than adequate after a tiring day in the fells. Room was comfortable, if a little small (but there are different choices of room type, so you book for your needs!). Clean & well presented. Comfy bed, great amenities for drinks & snacks. Continental breakfast was ideal. Kings Head inn 2 min drive down the road & highly recommend for a post hike reward of beer & a good evening meal! Staff at accommodation were lovely, good conversation, professional, quick check in, always about if you wanted to make a purchase from the cafe. Would definitely recommend for the type of trip we had planned. One little improvement would be maybe the suggestion of some drying facilities for wet hiking gear….. it is the Lakes after all, we did struggle with drying our boots for the next day. Not the end of the world though and would book again either way!
