Beautifully converted Old Posthouse. Very nice and spacious double bed room (I think it might have been the 'King Room') with a highly useful long shelf / desk, allowing one to unpack ones important things, and easily find them, rather than the usual case in most other similarly priced hotels of there not being enough room to put anything, and the endless rummaging through luggage as you cant find anything! The evening meals were good value as was the price fo the rooms, and the location is extremely handy for Ennerdale Water and the Buttermere valley and hills.

Although the full English breakfast was nicely cooked with good ingredients, it did seem a bit expensive at £30. That was more than the price of most of the main courses of the evening meals. Perhaps throw in some black pudding, and fried bread etc and it wouldnt have seemed a bit expensive. Definitely wasnt a deal breaker, and I wasnt overly bothered, and is just my opinion.

The bedroom was exceptionally clean. The shower cubicle glass was so clean it almost looked like there was nothing there! There were two lovely big armchairs in which to sit and read. The staff were very lovely and friendly. The evening meal was absolutely delicious.

The bed was very, very soft, which unfortunately is not ideal for me, but still was quite comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful, but the cooked breakfast for vegetarians consisted of just tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans (I don't eat eggs). In the summer it gets light around 4.30am. There were no curtains in our room, only vertical blinds which allowed in a lot of light. I recommend to take a sleeping/eye mask if you are wakened by light.

The staff were perfectly welcoming. Not too imposing which is the style I like. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, very clean too. Beds are comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. Location is great too for many things. The food is absolutely tremendous. Very, very high standard.

Not much at all. The fact they allow dogs is slightly frustrating for those who don't like dogs but obviously given the obsession with them these days they can't really say no so it is what it is. Not their fault if owners can't control their dogs. Everything else was great for the money. Drinks are a tad on the expensive side though, £8.50 for a large glass of wine.

my wife enjoyed the full English breakfast. she thought that it was very good. i am not a breakfast person but i do like cereal and the choice was perfect for me and the toast and yoghurt were of good quality. the food that they serve in the restaurant/bar is of exceptional quality and is extremely moreish and the pavlova is recommended by my wife. the beer is also of exceptional quality and well kept. the staff and hosts were attentive and very good and always busy and scurrying back and forth..

nothing comes to mind.

The hosts, Nicola and Terry, were fantastic, very welcoming, friendly and attentive. The property was well kept and organised, with a dog friendly dining area. The room was very clean and comfortable, although I did bump my head once or twice on the slanted beams 🤪 😂. The food was excellent, particularly the steak and ale pie 😋. Rolo really enjoyed his first holiday and the pampering he received 🐶.

I can’t say that there was anything wrong with property.

Amazing place. Hosts were wonderful. Had a blast. ( weekend away with friends. ) Only one night. But that charges the batteries till the next time we go there. Food. Exceptional is not good enough. Amazing food. Historical. The wife loves older buildings. So this went down well. Thank you to Terry and everyone else.

........ Read the first bit again eh? ........

Very welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfy stay. We were travelling with our dog so we’re given a ground floor room with access out into a patio area. Spacious room with modern ensuite. Everything was spotless and the food was excellent. Brilliant location for exploring the Lakes.

Nothing negative

What a gem of a place! From arrival at the Old Posting House, we were made to feel very welcome and that nothing was too much trouble. Our room was beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean and had a comfortable bed and an excellent shower! The evening meals were absolutely lovely (no complaints from any of us) and the breakfast (full english) was exceptional.

As we were out on the fells all day in the typical English weather (torrential rain in July!) somewhere to dry our wet clothes would have been a great addition. This did not detract from our stay though.

The hosts were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was locally sourced and fresh. The resturant served excellent food for your evening meals. The location was great for the areas we wanted to explore. Would defiantly recommend and return ourselves!

Nothing, we had the freedom to come and go as we pleased and had everything in the room we could of needed.

This pub is in a lovely quiet location. We had an excellent evening meal and superb breakfast, all from locally sourced food. The hosts were great and very hospitable and as you enter the pub the cleanliness shines through. Our room was spacious and situated at the back of the building and no noise could be heard from downstairs.

Nothing to dislike.
