The Kellbank ★★★

"Very clean hotel. It was a memorable stay during the solar eclipse. Not far from the beach. The hotel was  a bit far from the main lakes, but still reachable. The food was lush, especially dinner, variety of choices from the menu. Added bonus, it’s dog friendly. Could do with a fan in the room tho."

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."

Bailey Ground Lodge ★★★★

"Well the hotel Well apartment should i call it was ok clean and tidy and ok for the 2 nights that we were there anyway. 3 bulbs were not working in 2 lamps and the bedroom roof bulb was dim and flickering also the iron wasn't working and the hot water took an age to come from the tap and shower 😳 other than that ok."

The Red Admiral Hotel ★★★

The Globe Inn ★★★

"This place is for workies wanting a cheap night whilst on a job. Do not book it. The tv didnt work, the kettle didnt work, our clothes were damp in the morning. The decor is horrendous and there is NOBODY around. You get an email with a number to call for a code... hopefully... we unfortunately did not get an email so we had to ask a lovely Italian guy in the same predicament to see his emails and found a contact number (he had booked through a different company) The pub over the road 'The lion and the lamb' is gorgeous. The food and staff are amazing and we camped in there until closing time after our walks. Please only book this place if you have a plastering job nearby!"

1692 Wasdale ★★★★

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

The Lion and the Lamb ★★★

"The good points: The staff are friendly and helpful and you can see they want to do a good job. The rooms are clean, well decorated and have plenty of power points. Things that could be better: Comfier beds and pillows. Somewhere in the shower rooms to store toiletries rather than on the floor. More storage for clothes. No breakfast - just a voucher for the shop. It would be better to knock some money off the price and just say they don't provide breakfast. Things that aren't good: The food - pretty much everything is deep fried and forget it if you are veggie or just want something wholesome and healthy. One of the menu items is called Tits 'N' ****. Really? I find that pretty offensive. Noise levels - from outside with traffic and from the pub across the road, ending late at night and starting again from 4am. And from inside the hotel, again starting from early in the morning - from around 4/4.30am. And I could hear the person in the next room snoring!!! For an odd night it's ok, but I think it would be a struggle if staying frequently or for a few nights. To be honest my score would be 2 if it wasn't for the cleanliness of the rooms and friendliness of the staff, whihc can mkae up for a lot. It feels like a drinkers' pub that has rooms upstairs rather than a hotel."

Cumbrian Lodge ★★★

"Clean comfortable and accommodating. Very friendly would highly recommend. Lovely breakfast. Ideal location for 7 ladies to climb Scafell Pike."

The Red Admiral Gosforth CA20 1BP ★★★

"Booked an evening meal for Good Friday. Arrived to find hardly anyone in the pub, they told us they had been extremely busy but now was a lull. Warmly welcomed and ordered our food, Memphis chicken, pie,chips and peas and sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake. The food was superb, very tasty and good portions. As we were eating the pub was starting to get busy again with the residents returning from their ventures. A very enjoyable meal with friendly staff."
