Great place with free wi-fi, a cozy bar, and helpful staff. On my first stay, they kindly gave me directions. I highly recommend it for a relaxing holiday. I'm definitely coming back!

great location but small bathroom

The location near hiking spots is fantastic for outdoor enthusiasts. The food quality exceeded my expectations, especially the full English breakfast that was a perfect start for my hikes.

The bathroom in the room was quite small, making it a little inconvenient.

The welcoming decor made me feel right at home, and the easy access for seniors was a breath of fresh air. I truly appreciated the lovely views from the room, enhancing our serene experience during our stay.

Rooms could use some modern updates.

Loved the live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays! The room was quite spacious with a superb view of the hills.

I appreciated the lovely view from my room of the lush valley and the stunning Helvellyn, providing a truly serene ambiance. The hotel itself was accessible, with helpful staff who ensured my stay was comfortable.

Rooms could use some modern updates.

The food at Patterdale's restaurant is a mixed bag—breakfast was a decent spread to kickstart the day, but dinner definitely needed some extra love! The young lady on reception recalling our last visit was a heartwarming touch. You can’t beat the location right by the stunning Patterdale Lake.

fantastic hiking base with friendly staff and delicious meals for every taste

Clean, friendly, exceptional food quality.

Just a perfect match for a weekend pause in Patterdale with best value. The breakfast buffet had a lot of choice and attentive staff. Try to arrive early to grab a parking spot.

Dotted with stunning views of the Lake District, the location brings a cozy charm that draws outdoor enthusiasts. Rooms offer a snug comfort that is inviting after a long hike, with all facilities functioning adequately for a relaxing stay.

The atmosphere can get quite lively, especially with noise from entertainment in the bar, which could disrupt an early night after a day outdoors. Breakfast timing at 8 AM may pose a challenge for those eager to hit the trails sooner, and parking can be troublesome for those with heavy luggage, especially with overflow arrangements. Unfortunately, some rooms show signs of wear, needing a little TLC to address dated decor and shower leaks.
