Bailey Ground Hotel ★★★

"Disgusting!! Dirty and poorly maintained. Uncomfortable - one thin pillow on the beds. Poor quality furniture - one drawer had to be secured with a sticking plaster. Wiring a total mess! Mould around edge of shower. Rusty lamp stand! Lift still not working after at least four years! Hard work carrying heavy bags up all the stairs. Dreadful! Worst room ever. The place should be closed for decent refurbishments. Not least for just the basics: clean - comfortable - working lift."

1692 Wasdale ★★★★

"Wonderful property, outstanding breakfast, Faith and her staff were welcoming and friendly. Would recommend staying here."

The Red Admiral Hotel ★★★

The Globe Inn ★★★

"Booked 2 rooms over the phone but when we arrived they informed us that they didn’t have our booking. They did call an alternative hotel 10 minutes down the road to try and find us a different place to stay however it was isolated and they only had 1 room available. Thankfully a different hotel had available space. Not an ideal situation to arrive at after a long day."

Sella Park Country House Hotel ★★★

"We travelled to this hotel mainly because we had a voucher for the Ravenglass Steam and afternoon tea bought for us a Christmas gift and so we wanted to stay nearby the train experience. Myself and my husband rarely get an opportunity to steal a night away from our busy working lives and be ourselves without the kids in tow. We were travelling from Manchester so it was a very long but incredibly scenic drive along the A roads to the hotel. We were aware of time constraints and phoned ahead during our journey down for our pre scheduled dining time to be pushed along. This occurred twice due to unexpected traffic and the staff had no issues with this at all, to our relief. We arrived at such a peaceful, tranquil and welcoming hotel. The staff were so very polite and genuinely friendly people. Lovely people to talk with but never overbearing. We decided to spoil ourselves and book a suite since we rarely get a night off or away from the constraints of life. Wow! this room did not disappoint. It was huge and very traditionally tastefully furnished which was in keeping with the hotel itself. The leaded sash windows and quaint plush window seat was an extra special touch. Also the the beautiful dressing table with the ornate triple mirror being placed next to the natural light coming from this area is an added bonus for us ladies. The bed was comfortable and sprawling. This room could easily accommodate an extra bed or travel cot with still plenty of space to spare. That said it was very warm and we felt the room would defintely benefit from a mini fridge ( maybe placed in the cabinet under the hospitality tray). Also a fan to keep the room feeling fresh would be helpful. The dinning room is peaceful and restful and never felt rushed. We spoke to a lovey waitress called Carol. She is a lovely lady, always smiling and helpful. She talked us through a quality well considered menu and we felt she was so attentive. Thanks Carol for your efforts. ( not sure here about childrens choices we never asked since we we were on a couples night) The food was delicious, fresh and piping hot. Presented to a very high standard. Finally on ordering desserts the chef delivered these, which was a refreshing change, Never usually get to see a chef! He is a lovely guy with a clear passion for cooking fresh cuisine presented to a professional standard. Our meal both pleased the eye and our palette equally. We left pleasantly satisfied and very relaxed The grounds were immaculately kept with plenty of seating. Which included a shaded small gazebo area and walking opportunities with a free natural stream nearby Again so peaceful and tranquil Thanks to all your welcoming staff that helped make our stay memorable pampered and special Mr and Mrs Seager"

"It’s in a right place for people who wants to stay away from crowd and wants to enjoy the nature as is . Family friendly . Kids play area and very quiet . Kellbank we love it .."

Cumbrian Lodge ★★★

"Got a really warm welcome when I arrived after a long day in work. I was shown to the room and was given the rundown of where I could get something to eat. The breakfast was spot on, lovey fresh produce cooked really well. I don’t think I’d stay again as there was limited food and drink options in the area but that’s only is no reflection on the hotel."

YHA Wasdale Hall - Hostel ★★

"We hired the entire hostel for a weekend reunion. The facilities are great for a large group to get together and the location is wonderful."
