Very rigid corporate rules, staff very polite
Stayed with dog for one night before doing a long distance walk over to ulswater. Wasn’t able to leave my car on car
Park for an extra day till I could return for it. Had to buy a 3 day pass to park in grasmere at an additional cost of £20.20.Had to pay £10 extra for the dog which I didn’t mind paying but after paying full breakfast price for myself and only opting for a bowl porridge would even let me order an extra sausage for the dog.

A Great Place To Stay.
This is a very welcoming hotel. Ample on site parking and super dog friendly. Everyone of the staff delivered a high standard of customer service. Food is excellent. We stayed in a standard sized room which was very clean and comfortable. I will return but next time I will go for a larger room as I found the standard sized room bathroom a bit small for my large size frame ( I’m over six feet tall. ).

Nice place to stay
Lovely facilities and great atmosphere. Easy check in/out and clean room.
The only issue I had was that the room itself was very cold throughout the night. But I did make the booking fairly last minute so it’s possible this was an oversight.

Westmorland hospitality at it’s best.
Wonderful Westmorland hospitality.
Nice real fire in the Bar, so welcome on an Autumn evening. Chats with local regulars.
Beautiful room. Excellent menu and eventual meal plus brilliant choice of wine with no overpricing.
Excellent breakfast to complete our visit.
