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.

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.

The breakfast was well cooked and staff were flexible to individuals' choices. The evening meal was good - portions a bit too generous for me though. Our room was quiet at the rear of the property - it was lovely to hear the lambs bleating in the morning.
The property does not have a lounge. We were meeting up with a group of friends and whilst it was absolutely fine that the bar closed early (about 9pm most days), it would have been ideal if we could have met up as a group in a lounge area.

The breakfast was one of the best I have had in similar stays at other similar locations in the Lake District.It was cooked fresh to order by the owner Terry and served by his partner Nicola nothing was to much trouble.I also had an excellent evening meal . The bar was a very friendly place with the local customers mixing with use as we enjoyed a beer before the evening meal . Thanks again .
There was nothing not to like perhaps a little warmer in the bar but it was zero degrees outside. The whole premises are ultra clean, rooms and public areas well done .
