The Horse and Farrier Inn and The Salutation Inn Threlkeld Keswick

The Horse and Farrier is a lovely old building. The room was pleasant. Large bathroom. The food was excellent. The staff were friendly. Plenty of parking.

Initially we were given a room in the Salutation . It was horrible. The beds were awful. Tiny shower and toilet room. The worst thing was the smell! It smelt like vomit! There is a sofa bed which was so dirty. My husband was looking for the remote control and lifted up the cushions and there were dead flies in it! After an hour of sitting there we couldn’t stay any longer so went to speak with the manager and he moved us to the horse and farrier. If you get offered room number 3 do not take it! The manager said a dog had been sick in there 2 weeks previously and the carpet had been deep cleaned! The carpet was filthy and no way had been deep cleaned

The staff were excellent and very welcoming. The breakfast was excellent and more than enough to set you up for the day.

The Horse and Farrier is a lovely, old pub. Full of character and atmosphere. Our room was a ground floor room in the recently refurbished Salutation Inn just across the road. Ours was a ground floor room which was fine except for the windows. They would have benefited from window film, as on raising the blinds in the morning I was staring straight at the neighbours and their dog across the road! Our two dogs were startled and so the barking began which no doubt woke everyone one else up.

The lack of privacy mentioned above. Window film would greatly improve the ground floor rooms privacy. I took one star off for this and for the dog hair in our room. Not ours as it belonged to a black dog and ours are blond.
