The decor of the rooms is a bit dated but they were clean. The breakfast was good, but the staff were very quick to remove your plates. The reason I did not give this five stars was because the noise at night, as it was next to the main road and the dated decor. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay at a very reasonable cost. ##### D Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sau Kin Tracey 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Plenty of parking, friendly staff, cozy room. ##### Sau Kin Tracey Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Brillant check in lovly hotel perfect location very nice staff. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Graeme 10 Aug 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mid hotel Hotel itself was ok, very outdated and the rook very small and needs a lick of paint, the wooden corridors are something from the 80s, reception staff is asked some questions and the lady continued with what she was doing and kept ignoring me.

The location is great, especially for Ullswater. Glenridding is a short walk away. The main car park was full pretty much for my entire stay, so I parked in the car park over the road (there were plenty of spaces and this didn't incur a charge). Hospitality is on request only. Unfortunately, when I asked for it, my bins weren't emptied as requested. The WiFi and phone reception (for me at least) was absolutely terrible, although I know this can often be a problem in the Lakes, based on past recommendations. Breakfast is OK. Evening meals are also possible and there is also a bar in the property. There is a pleasant lounge on the ground floor too. There is entertainment in the bar on Wednesdays and Saturdays. As mentioned in other reviews, this hotel does need updating. Some ceiling paper needs to be replaced and carpets in the corridors and staircases were old. A friendly hotel overall. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 22 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Really good value.

Staff were lovely and helpful. The only negative side to the stay was the evening meal which was very mediocre and certainly not worth £30! ##### Kathleen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 13 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Warm and welcoming Very friendly staff. Warm and welcoming people and building. Buffet breakfast tastes and plentiful. Stayed for a wedding in Glenridding. A very pleasant 15 minute walk. ##### Sam Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort I had an enjoyable stay at the 'Patterdale Hotel' as it allowed me to get warm and dry when the conditions outside were atrocious, so bad we all lost TV reception but this was no fault of the hotel. The staff were pleasant and helpful throughout. The hotel was completely full over the weekend and parking was difficult, I used the one across the road without issues. In general the décor and furnishings are dated but still functional, don't expect a Premier Inn. The entertainment in the bar on Saturday night seemed to drive everyone away so I suspect that it may soon change. I only ate breakfast at the hotel (perfectly adequate if again a bit dated) so can't comment on the rest of the menu. Note that no dogs are allowed inside at all, an unusual policy for this location. ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mark 18 Sept 2024 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property is tatty and desperate for a refurb ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David 21 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Decent, No-nonsense Hotel Standard hotel, rooms are basic and functional, though in need of refurbishment in some areas. Having said that, there is a nice, lived-in feel about the place, so maybe it doesn't need too much gentrification. Staff are extremely polite, helpful and efficient, much more so than in most more-expensive hotels I have visited. Dinner was a little bit disappointing, breakfast was better! Overall, it's a decent place to stay if you are active and looking for somewhere to stay where you won't feel out of place coming in muddy and wet. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were Brilliant. We were given what could be described as a standard room when we arrived. When we showed reception picture of room which was booked they changed room to room on picture immediately. It was mentioned that it should not have been advertised as a superior room. Hotel was perfect for a warm , quiet welcome after a day walking. Staff were fantastic. ##### Carole Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Drove Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Highland-Drove-Inn.h34089268.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [1863 Restaurant with Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-1863-Bar-Bistro-Rooms.h18439360.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brantwood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-The-Brantwood-Hotel.h45786516.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal at Dockray](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-The-Royal-At-Dockray.h2252929.Hotel-Information) > > [The Boot and Shoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-The-Boot-And-Shoe.h5769303.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Leeming House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Macdonald-Leeming-House.h985.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Orton Hall, Royalist Suite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Orton-Hall.h33962557.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ullswater Inn- The Inn Collection Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Glenridding-Hotel.h23223697.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Westmorland Hotel Tebay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Tebay-Services-Hotel.h888778.Hotel-Information) > > [Townhead Farmhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Townhead-Farmhouse.h30997424.Hotel-Information) > > [Pooley Bridge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Pooley-Bridge-Inn.h35801135.Hotel-Information) > > [Crown Inn at Pooley Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Crown-Inn-At-Pooley-Bridge.h16473197.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Stafford House Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Stafford-House-Guest-House.h4912983.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury, romantic boathouse on the shores of Lake Ullswater, perfect for special occasions.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Luxury.h40189584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [Troutbeck Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrith-Hotels-Troutbeck-Inn.h22607768.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information)
