"We had a wonderful stay in this cosy, quiet cottage with plenty of space and everything you needed. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked but, you will need to bring any essentials salt and pepper, oil, etc. very nice pet welcome pack and packs of welcome with tea and cleaning items. There is a village shop nearby and several pub restaurants. There are a number of great walks on your doorstep from easy to more challenging without needing drive.. A beautiful area to explore so...

Top Western Lake District Hotel Reviews

The Grange Country House

10/10 Excellent

"Felt very welcome, comfortable rooms and communal areas and great breakfast. Will definitely return!"

Mary Mount Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful view from the bedroom at the front of the hotel, and the location is gorgeous. The actual hotel would do with a bit of modernising- it’s not “old” as such, just showing some signs of wear in places- a lick of paint and a new carpet in the dining area would go a long way. However, it does still look nice. The shower is not powerful and the toilet flushes for a really long time for the pump to refill. In room toiletries are small and basic. The cleaning is not great- main areas are fine, but cobwebs on the lamp in the dining area are not good. But……. This hotel more than makes up for this in location, staff and food. The staff are truly lovely-friendly warm and helpful - but not false with it. The steak pie, the chips, the sandwiches and the lamp rump are all excellent. Plenty of variety and breakfast and quality was good. The walk around Derwent water was gorgeous and this hotel is close to Keswick- via foot bus or car. We much preferred the quiet of the hotel to Keswick which was very busy."
