Beautifully converted Old Posthouse. Very nice and spacious double bed room (I think it might have been the 'King Room') with a highly useful long shelf / desk, allowing one to unpack ones important things, and easily find them, rather than the usual case in most other similarly priced hotels of there not being enough room to put anything, and the endless rummaging through luggage as you cant find anything! The evening meals were good value as was the price fo the rooms, and the location is extremely handy for Ennerdale Water and the Buttermere valley and hills.

Although the full English breakfast was nicely cooked with good ingredients, it did seem a bit expensive at £30. That was more than the price of most of the main courses of the evening meals. Perhaps throw in some black pudding, and fried bread etc and it wouldnt have seemed a bit expensive. Definitely wasnt a deal breaker, and I wasnt overly bothered, and is just my opinion.

The bedroom was exceptionally clean. The shower cubicle glass was so clean it almost looked like there was nothing there! There were two lovely big armchairs in which to sit and read. The staff were very lovely and friendly. The evening meal was absolutely delicious.

The bed was very, very soft, which unfortunately is not ideal for me, but still was quite comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful, but the cooked breakfast for vegetarians consisted of just tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans (I don't eat eggs). In the summer it gets light around 4.30am. There were no curtains in our room, only vertical blinds which allowed in a lot of light. I recommend to take a sleeping/eye mask if you are wakened by light.

The food was amazing, the owners very friendly. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Everything you needed was supplied in the room. Will definitely be back.

We like to sleep with the windows open for air. The only downside to the room that we stayed in was that it was on the front of the building, the road was very busy and noisy at times which kept us awake for long periods. However, this wouldn't stop up staying again. Would just ask for a different room. I'm just giving my honest opinion. Please don't let this stop you visiting. It's a beautiful place 😍

The staff were perfectly welcoming. Not too imposing which is the style I like. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, very clean too. Beds are comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. Location is great too for many things. The food is absolutely tremendous. Very, very high standard.

Not much at all. The fact they allow dogs is slightly frustrating for those who don't like dogs but obviously given the obsession with them these days they can't really say no so it is what it is. Not their fault if owners can't control their dogs. Everything else was great for the money. Drinks are a tad on the expensive side though, £8.50 for a large glass of wine.

my wife enjoyed the full English breakfast. she thought that it was very good. i am not a breakfast person but i do like cereal and the choice was perfect for me and the toast and yoghurt were of good quality. the food that they serve in the restaurant/bar is of exceptional quality and is extremely moreish and the pavlova is recommended by my wife. the beer is also of exceptional quality and well kept. the staff and hosts were attentive and very good and always busy and scurrying back and forth..

nothing comes to mind.

We had the most lovely two night stay. The Old Posting House has such a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Terry and Nicola made us feel very welcome from the minute go. The food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. Our room was lovely , bed very comfortable and everywhere spotlessly clean. Definitely on our list of Happy Places , look forward to visiting again 😊

Nothing

The staff were very helpful, and everything about the room was perfect. Room service was available, even on Sunday. Good food was available every evening. Even though it rained a lot during our stay, it was lovely to visit this part of the Lake District which we did not know very well. Using our car, we enjoyed local walks and rock climbing.

Nothing.

The hosts, Nicola and Terry, were fantastic, very welcoming, friendly and attentive. The property was well kept and organised, with a dog friendly dining area. The room was very clean and comfortable, although I did bump my head once or twice on the slanted beams 🤪 😂. The food was excellent, particularly the steak and ale pie 😋. Rolo really enjoyed his first holiday and the pampering he received 🐶.

I can’t say that there was anything wrong with property.

Amazing place. Hosts were wonderful. Had a blast. ( weekend away with friends. ) Only one night. But that charges the batteries till the next time we go there. Food. Exceptional is not good enough. Amazing food. Historical. The wife loves older buildings. So this went down well. Thank you to Terry and everyone else.

........ Read the first bit again eh? ........

Very friendly and wecoming, good food. They checked in advance that we wanted dinner on arrival evening, which was great.

Unfortunately, we didnt prebook breakfast (which I havent found to be an issue at other venues). However, it was too late to book it when we asked in the evening - something to bear in mind when booking in future!
