A super place to stay great location for the Lake District and climbing up Helvellyn. You will not be disappointed good breakfast and wide menu. Just two concerns to be aware of: 1 Hotel has small car park so may not get in 2 Although the menu was extensive for a coeliac it was atrocious with only one option. From our experience it is not difficult to make a lots of dishes gluten free. eg a roast with gluten free gravy and no Yorkshire pudding. I would have liked to stay there again and for more than one night but lack of options on the menu for a coeliac means it is rather pointless. This is a great shame.

The Inn was beautiful. The room was spacious. The restaurant had many options. The walls were a bit scuffed and dirty. There was no AC in the room. The night we were there it was very warm. There was one fan in the room which helped somewhat. The TV channels didn’t work. Overall it was a solid option.

Great stay for mountains

Booked to allow direct access on to Helvelyn. The hotel is ideally located on the waste of the village and was great for a few days on the mountains. Staff were friendly and helpful and the bar was great after a hard day with good food.

Would go again

The hotel was perfectly located for walking. The room was very clean there was just some lipstick/ makeup marks on the bathroom wall which I didn't expect as the room was expensive. But overall it was a luxury experience. Breakfast was nice

Nice hotel and the bar downstairs served nice food. The rooms however were very hot, we were provided with a fan and had the windows open but it didnt help much. We booked a room with a lake view and it is not much of a lake view more a car park view.
