The Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was only 5 mins walk to Aira force fabulous walks nearby. The food at the hotel was amazing as was the breakfasts. Free parking onsite a really lovely place to stay would definitely stay again"

1863 Restaurant with Rooms

8/10 Good

"The room was small but very well maintained and clean. The breakfast you could not fault, although you had to give your choice on the night before which personally not in favour of. The staff were very attentive, pleasant and efficient. The situation in the middle of the village ideal and parking on site, excellent. No dogs allowed on site which I am in favour of."

Macdonald Leeming House

8/10 Good

"We love the Leeming House Hotel, it is sad though that since it was Trust House Forte, it has gradually become tired, some of the exterior paintwork needs urgent work, the gardens are not what they used to be, the rooms are fine, however loving the contemporary furnishings for the period of the house, it is disappointing that it is all a bit tired, some paint could be bought and A Little love put into the building. On the side of service, I am disabled and my wife went downstairs to get some tea at The about four or 430 in the afternoon and she found someone to order it from, because there was no telephone in the room from which to order room service! And she needed two trays of tea as her sister and brother-in-law were going to join us for tea and she was told that was no problem, but it would be £20 to deliver the tea, incredible for a Hotel of that quality to blatantly charge for something that is a normal service is incredible, obviously we were happy to pay for the tea but it was the delivery also my wife asked for some biscuits and they said they didn't have any!! After lunch with my coffee I did ask if there was any chocolate and Jeff the weekend manager who is so nice said they don't have chocolate in the building however he went away and found some delicious home-made shortbread, what happened to that teatime!! The next morning we had a very nice breakfast, although the enjoyment was dampened as my sister-in-law asked for a latte to be told that was an extra charg"

Pooley Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay at Pooley Bridge Inn where I received a warm welcome. Very comfortable room with a lovely bed and great shower. Not too noisy considering it’s above the pub but the pub serves excellent food and a great range of drinks. Breakfast was good too with very lovely serving staff. Parking was easy and a great location to get the best from the area. I was travelling alone and would recommend to other Lake District explorers."
