AI Summary
Consistently praised for comfortable beds, quiet rooms, and attentive staff. Guests enjoyed delicious breakfast but criticized overpriced, mediocre food and drinks. Ideal location for lake exploration and hiking.

I hate to write anything other than a great review but I have to be honest about our stay. We paid £148 for one night in a room that to be honest that was small, smelt musty and just generally unclean. We found hairs in the bed, and in a coffee cup. There was rust on the bathroom radiators, black grouting in the shower and the floor just looked unclean. There was also a large dehumidifier in the room - it was clear why. We didn’t end up staying for breakfast as it didn’t start until 8:30am and we were up and out early so can’t comment on that but when we come to leave I was asked have you paid up instead of first asking how our stay was. I unfortunately cant say I would return, It was nothing like the pictures shared on the booking site.

Stopped here overnight walking the Cumbrian Way. Fantastic place, great food, helpful and friendly staff, very clean and comfortable rooms, would recommend to all.

Booked a 2 night stay with my partner - The room was tidy although the bathroom was quite mouldy and had silverfish running around the floor. We had an hours wait for breakfast on the first morning and the staff had packed away the bread/toaster etc well before our food arrived (food actually arrived 30 mins after breakfast restaurant had closed). In the afternoon we asked if we needed to book a table to eat at night. We were told there’s absolutely no chance of a table as they are so busy. The nearest place for food is in Coniston (over an hours walk away). We didn’t think it was unreasonable as a resident of the pub/restaurant to expect to be able to eat and drink there. We had to return home half way through our stay and lose our booking costs of £109

The room was warm, clean and cosy, comfy bed, bath towels a bit small, had a room with mountain view of Dow Crag & Coniston all be it a little restricted, the food was very good in the evening & the breakfast had a great choice and very tasty, staff were very friendly and helpful, it was a very peacful place to stay quiet at night no noise from other rooms will defo stay again it has been one of our better choices

Always nice to stay here staff friendly and food is very good especially the Sunday lunch. The shepherds huts are perfect everything you need for a relaxing break nice touch with the dressing gowns so we can get to and from hot tub. Ideally situated for walking don’t have to use car if you don’t want to.

We went here 2 nights in a row, it was that good. The service is fantastic, a special mention to Will (Saturday night) and Anna (Sunday night) who couldn’t have done enough for us over the two nights. Our first night was dinner for 5 and our second was dinner for 10. Anna moved things around to fit us all in at very short notice which was brilliant. And the food! Every meal was excellent, great quality, great portion size and proper home-cooked food. I can thoroughly recommend the steak pie and the sausage and mash. Don’t hesitate to go here.

Pleasant stay, in comfortable twin room, the bed was a little soft for me but slept reasonably well, the bathroom was definitely a little small but nicely done with mirrors on all walls at face height (a bit scary). We ate in the bar and had an excellent meal, I’m Coeliac and was very well catered for both at dinner and breakfast. A great plus was a gluten free hand pumped beer on the bar as well

The pod was great and clean except it was so hot during the night and we had to open the door 5-6 times and closer to the morning turning off the heating.
The second day the water was shut down because of water freezing at -1 degree. My expectation was they could handle water running in even more cold weather conditions.
We did the self checkin successfully but no one welcome us pr guide us as local to tell where to go or visit.
Our pod was located in the camper van parking area and does not have hot tub as I saw in the photos.
