The Crown Inn Pooley Bridge

Went with another couple, playing golf over 3 days. Pooley Bridge was lovely with a fantastic almost continental atmosphere, helped by the fantastic sunny weather. Hotel is located right by the river, with a beer garden and outdoor area overlooking the river, which was lovely, and near the lake for walking etc. Breakfast in the hotel was excellent , with a good choice and very good quality. We ate in the hotel 2 nights and food and service was very good. Only negative is that the hotel does not have dedicated parking but we did manage to park outside the hotel every night, so it was not a problem.. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and would definitely come back.

A lovely place with nice terraces overlooking the river. The staff were helpful and friendly. There wasn't a private car parking for guests, so you had to grab a parking space outside the pub when you could!

First time visiting this lovely little place after a weeks stay in the Lake District. So glad we came across it. It was beautiful. We got there just after they opened at 12, as we had a long drive home ahead of us. The food was brought out so quickly, which was amazing. Piping hot and absolutely delicious (little bit pricier than what I'd normally pay, but you can't really complain when you have such a pretty view, the staff are so lovely and the food is top notch.) Our waiter was wonderful too. (Didn't catch his name, but he had a very cool black moustache! 😂) Really attentive, really polite and friendly. He even had a little giggle with me and my sister after he caught me questioning whether he was Irish or not on the way to the ladies toilets, unaware he was stood right behind me... which was both hilarious and humiliating. 😂 The view is beautiful and it's full of adorable little pups running around having a lovely time. Unfortunately, we didn't stay for dessert, but we definitely would have stayed a few hours extra if we'd have had the time. I didn't leave a tip when placing the order and pre-paying on the app, but if there is a way I could tip the lovely waiter who served us today now instead, I would. His service was wonderful. And I would 100% visit again. Food was delicious and delivered expeditiously, people were lovely and polite and it's such a pretty place to sit and eat at. Thankyou for making our final holiday meal so lovely!
