The hotel is a large old inn on the outside, but inside is modern, clean and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and looked after us very well. For example: we were shown to our room on arrival (never had that before) and were a font of knowledge about the various local walks and sights. There is even a map painted on the ceiling of the bar! Restaurant was an excellent source of hearty and freshly cooked meals (breakfasts and dinners). Highly recommend.

The hotel is such a great location & lovely inside. The cons: no fridge which can be tough if you have a little one. Also, no charge point for electric toothbrushes. Parking is a gamble. There are paid for parking nearby but a shame the parking spots aren’t reserved for guests. Also, we got stung by the breakfast drinks. We didn’t realise until the end how much we were spending on hot chocolates & lattes. I think the hotel should give you a bill at the end of each breakfast so you are made aware exactly how much you are paying for drinks. The hotel staff were very friendly & it was a great stay otherwise.

Pooley Bridge Crown Inn hotel

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable but noisy at night outside, and lacking air con, which was a bit of a issue as it was too warm not to have the window open. Food was standard we felt and a bit over priced for the quality. The curry was very mild and while the food was ok it lacked a bit of love.Parking if you were lucky was outside otherwise at a farmers field 600 yards away. Busy busy place to visit. Our room was rwo floors yp and with a dog was a little tricky to navigate but ok with caution. Overall 6/10 for me.

Good location but slow service

Good location, comfy bed but slow service and no consistency in the quality of food served at breakfast. Sat in the residents lounge but no one took our order. We were ignored by staff. Brought all of the above up at check out and the lady behind the bar simply said "oh". No apology for poor service offered. Left feeling short-changed considering what we paid

Relaxing stay

Room 3 was a converted out building next to the inn, the room was small but comfortable as i was on my own, modern decor and new, bed was very comfy and bathroom was spacious and nicely furnished with a large rainfall shower and very clean. Amenities in room very good with a good selection of fresh coffee and tea, fresh milk is provided and huge flat screen tv which can be angled on wall mount for perfect viewing. Also a fan is provided which helps keep room cool in hot weather. The inn has been re furbished with ample seating and table service in a modern app ordering system which was very efficient with promp delivery of food and drinks with very friendly and courteous staff, food is exellent and breakfast is pre ordered on arrival with a large selection and very satisfying. The outdoor seating is scenic overlooking the river and wildlife (ducks) Only downside is that room 3 is nextvto the delivery acces to the inn and can be noisy from 7am with delivery drivers 😒 good job i was planning an early start to the day.

The room we were given in the annex was very small and not what the write up and previous reviews had stated. It was a lot of small things that made our stay ðifficult. There was no shelf in the bathroom for toilets, milk for tea and coffee had to be collected from the main hotal because there was no phone in the room. The parking was ok but again if we were not able to park in the shopping spaces then we would have to pay to park. We were informed the resturant may close early due to the lack of staff. There are a few small changes that could have made all the difference to our experience. The room we were in, i got the impression from the other guests that their rooms were much bigger, ours could not even fit in chair. When you have been walking all day we really wanted to sit in a chair rather than just having a bed. Over all we were very disappointed, and were told when we arrived that the last room had just gone to a couple who had just turned up and not booked. The staff were lovely, but the price for the room which was not the standard room was not worth the money we paid.

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at the Crown Inn. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was on the small side but it was well equipped and very clean, with a comfy bed too. The ensuite was perfect. We ate ate the Inn and all our meals were good and tasty, especially the breakfast with a good range of options.
