Loughrigg Suite
It was a lovely hotel, with friendly staff.
The room was beautiful, a little noisy from the room above on the first night of our stay (which kept our little boy awake). However this did not affect how much we loved this hotel. The food and atmosphere was amazing. Not to mention the brilliant location. We would have loved the tipi to have been up so will definitely return once that is in place.
We stayed in the Loughrigg suite - A great small addition would be some coat hangers behind the door upon entry to hang outdoor coats but everything else was perfect.

A decent hotel
We enjoyed a two night break. The hotel was fine, but nothing special. We were comfortable had a decent breakfast but evening meals were unimpressive.

Awesome spot for hiking central or exploring surrounding points of interest. Far from the madding crowd - in winter at least! Great atmosphere! Dog friendly ❤️
Breakfast a bit so so buffet style but maybe because of season and cold plates - because of season.
Will be back

Excellent location but we expected more for price
Excellent location but for the price we paid for a family suite we expected more.
That said, the service on checking in was brilliant, the breakfasts were nice, if a little chaotic on the second day (first day was buffet, second was via ordering). Evening pub grub wasn’t bad.
The beds were comfortable and the room was clean but we had some trouble with a broken lock. We paid extra for late checkout (12 noon as opposed to the 10.30 standard) but we think 12 noon should be the standard.
I’d start again but not at the price we paid.

Definitely would recommend and stay here.
Only criticism was that a dog was barking for quite a while in the dining / bar area. Don’t blame the dog but the owners should have taken the dog out. Def the Inn needs to introduce a 3 bark and your out rule.
