9 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
Has real character. Good food and excellent packed lunches!
9 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
Amazing old hotel owned by the National Trust and run privately. 300 years of providing food, drink and rest for travellers leaves a unique atmosphere. It means that the facilities show their age and the building has its quirks, but it’s all part of the charm. The location could not be better. Plenty of hot water and comfortable beds, and good value.
It was cosy and a little too warm in the bedroom, but I managed to wedge the window open.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
Location is great, the historic structure has a lot of nice architectural details, the main sitting room is very cozy and would be fun to experience in fall or winter. The Cumbria way walking path runs right behind the hotel. Breakfast was nice, bed was comfy, bathroom was clean and across the hall.
No complaints… visitors/guests must enjoy lodge-like living
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
The building has loads of character Its an affordable price. Breakfast was good. The location is perfect for the Cumbria Way
There's a serious lack of heating/ drying facilities. Came in from a long day on the Cumbrian Way soaked to the skin with torrential non stop rain. The room heaters only came on for an hour in the evening and an hour next morning and weren't very hot. The is a 'drying room' in the basement but it wasn't great either. Consequently I had to wear wet boots and clothes the following day (the previous night at a different hotel I had hung things on the radiator to dry which worked well because it was on!). Bathrooms are private but separate, not ensuite which was fine. The corridor was quite noisy/creaky with movement too and from bathrooms.
