The hotel room and bar areas (recently updated and modernised) had nice fresh feel. Bar area/restaurant nice design, warm and cosy feel. Excellent breakfast. Bedroom very nice and comfortable - it had everything we needed for our 1-night stay. (Colour temperature of room lighting was a little too cool). Would happily stay at this hotel on future visits to the area. Hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful.

No real dislikes. We enjoyed our short stay. Just one comment regarding travel directions supplied via booking.com ... The guide says leave the 'M6 at junction 35', but it didn't say this applies only when travelling Northwards on the M6. We were travelling Southwards, and should have exited at junction 36 !!

We had a reserved disabled parking space right by our ground floor room which had a wet room. Tony and his team were all welcoming and helpful. they all had a 'can do' attitude. We felt looked after. The bar restaurant area has been thoughtfully furnished. A very pleasant palce to be. Breakfast was a cheerful experience and staff were keen to meet our needs. Loved the little bowls of fruit salad.

Nothing would stop us coming back BUT if you have mobility challenges you need to know that there is a slope down to the main building from the room which is adapted so that could be a challenge and a couple of steps to the toilets in the main area. However, staff are happy to help.

Room had fantastic views, from both windows. It was clean, looked nice and had plenty of towels, reasonable hospitality tray, tissues, bathroom glasses, toiletries. I was given, at my request, a quiet room at the top of the building. Staff very friendly. Prompt service at breakfast, which was tasty, just not quite hot enough for me but not bad enough to complain at the time. It was well presented and service was very efficient. Evening meal was again tasty, well presented and served with a smile from pleasant staff. Almost too much food on the plate to be honest! Being able to park on site was a bonus

The room had many pluses. Unfortunately on one of the hottest days of the year, it felt like I was in a sauna. The building got hotter the higher up you got. However, the fan provided offered some welcome breeze and was already in the room so I didn't have to ask for one - thank you. The main gripe is the the bed, it was not comfortable at all. I got hardly any sleep and it was made worse by the guest in the next door room, who left their room at 5.44am and let the door bang- not your fault I know, but not very soundproof. A minor thing, not sure why a big container of tissues is stuck on the bedside table, gets in the way and the shower tray sealant needs replacing.

My wife and I stayed in the estuary room, which had superb views. We arrived a few hours early, as we walked into the bar we were greeted by the owner Jeanette, i apologised for being early and arriving before our room was ready, in fact we arrived before the outgoing guest had checked out..but we wanted to park up and go for a walk around the Knott. she made us feel very welcome and even made us a pot of tea.. we had a long conversation and it felt like we had known each other for years... The staff were amazing and the whole property was very clean. We had our evening meal there which was perfect, so was our breakfast the following morning. Thank you Tony and Jeanette, we had a fabulous stay.

Tony, the manager, made me feel extremely welcome from the moment I walked through the door. I didn't feel so much as though I was staying in hotel, but rather I was staying with old friends! The pub itself is full of charm and character, and has that real, authentic English pub feel which made me feel right at home. Both my evening meal and breakfast were of an excellent standard and thoroughly enjoyable, with friendly service. The whole place had a great atmosphere - very relaxed which was exactly what I was hoping for. The location is spot on and Arnside is a wonderful village to lay-over for a night or two. I was reluctant to leave in the morning and could quite happily have stayed another night (maybe next time I will!). The room itself, whilst fairly basic in keeping with the price, was clean, tidy and had everything I needed for a comfortable night including a fan which was very welcomed, as it was quite warm! Tony helped me out with a great spot to park my motorcycle safely for the night as well. I think it's fair to say that Tony and his team really made the stay for me!

The only bit I didn't like was having to leave in the morning!!

The location is great- so near the estuary with great views. All the staff were friendly and really eager to assist. The cheese and onion pie on the main menu is lovely, and there are meal deals at lunchtime. The room was very comfortable and spacious. Lots of contact with the staff prior to arrival, e.g, with directions. The train to Grange over Sands is a wonderful trip, and the station at Arnside is 10 mins away. There is a general store very near the pub plus cafes etc. There is a vegetarian breakfast available as standard. We will definitely return. It's a wonderful place.

The evening meal menu had only 2 veggie mains and ALL the 6 or so specials on the Thursday night were meat dishes, which excluded vegetarians and seemed unbalanced as there were plenty of meat dishes on the main menu already. More veggie dishes would be lovely 😍. Nothing else to fault 😋.

Excellent and comfortable accomodation full of character with an exceptional view of the estuary and lake district beyond. Breakfasts were delicious with very quick and accommodating service. The location is excellent to explore the quaint shops & cafes Arnside and lovely local walks to the Arnside Knot & Fairy Steps. The Lake District is easily accessible via a short drive and the train station provides easy access to Lancaster castle & town. The restaurant, bar and beer garden were a great way to end the day with excellent food, and all of the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful.

Nothing, everything exceeded expectations.

This is a quaint typical English hotel with good facilities. Food was above standard particularly dinner. Staff were entertaining, helpful and welcoming. The owner was always available. There are EV charging stations in the free off road parking area. The room was very warm and considering the sub zero temperatures it was great to be so cosy. The location is ideal - only a five minute walk from Arnside railway station and plenty of good walking areas. Lots of surrounding towns to visit. Kendal has a great community church, Windermere is a busy town with lots of cafes and restaurants.

The room was a little tired but the owners having already accomplished an attractive refurbishment of the ground floor restaurant and bar are moving on to the rooms. A new mattress may help! Generally though the room was comfortable with relaxing interior decor.

The decor in the pub area was lovely and airy, the staff really friendly and approachable.

We stayed in the Queen deluxe bedroom The Leighton Moss was super comfy but a little small and was hoping to have a couple of comfy chairs to sit and look out over estuary because the bed was so comfy when I lay on it to chill and watch tv ended up falling asleep! I did also notice that when I wanted to do my hair in the morning there was no seat in front of the mirror and when I did move the chair the mirror was too high and the plug sockets were not close to the mirror if I sat on the bed.

We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Check-in was very efficient and friendly. Our accommodation was upgraded to more spacious rooms with magnificent views across the bay - at no extra charge. We were provided with secure storage for our bicycles, which was important to us. Our evening meal was excellent, with a wide range of tempting dishes at very good value. Breakfast was also very good. The landlord, landlady and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location in Arnside is stunning. Easy access for a bracing walk up Arnside Knott.

It would have been nice to stay a little longer.
