"The overall feeling is quite satisfactory. I like the public kitchen here the most. It is the most complete and best kitchen I have ever lived in. There are microwave ovens, induction cookers, ovens, vegetable boards, kitchen knives, various pots, various plates, various bowls, and kitchen utensils. Many people cook here, it is too convenient. Just rushing to this point, it's great. Of course, I live in an old house. There are 8 beds in a large room, no covering, and all transparent. There is a usb plug at the head of the bed, no big plug, but there are big plugs in the kitchen and public living room. The public toilet is still quite clean. The location is remote and quiet, it is recommended to live in Ambleside. The last bus at this location is 19:35. The weather here is too dark and a bit scared, but the rural environment is very good."

I have only good things to say! Room was very spacious and lovely for the both of us and had everything you needed. We stayed in a triple room for 2 of us (but in the end room had 2 single beds and 2 bunk beds but no problems with that of course). Bed was very comfortable, shared showers and toilets outside were clean, spacious and bright. Counter staff Matt in particular was incredibly helpful and friendly, and helped us figure out a way to hike Blencathra via Sharp Edge in the morning, informed us of bus availabilities and schedules etc. They also allowed us to store luggage with them while we hiked and allowed us to use their toilets and showers to freshen up after the hike. We also had lunch there and food was delicious!! Really great hotel very value for money. Thank you!

A beautiful little hotel, I think there are only 6 rooms though. All staff were on hand for any queries and help in any way they can. During my stay it was lovely and sunny and they have an outdoor area idea for a while in the sun 😂. If you have any sort of disability and find it difficult to climb stairs this place is probably not for you, no lift in the hotel and all rooms are upstairs, the car park is at the back of the hotel with steps up to the hotel that has a hand rail but the few steps into the hotel doesn’t. I was in room 6, 3 lots of stairs to negotiate but the view was spectacular.

We used the travellers inn as we wanted to see the grisdale tarn and we needed to a room to stay after the sight. They allowed us to store our luggage at the inn as our check in was at 3pm. The rooms were clean and it overlooked a farm area with lots of sheep. The room had an aesthetic look and there was tea satchets we could have as well. The staff were kind and wonderful. The rooms had the britain charm you see in old english movies. If you love sheeps, kind people, good food and 80's british aesthetics- then this place is just for you. We loved our stay here.

Log fire in public bar was welcoming. Cold bedroom on arrival mid afternoon. Informed by staff member that central heating was on a timer and it would come on around 7 pm and turn off around 11 pm. No double glazing. I had to use an electric fan heater to cope with the cold. Breakfast staff very helpful, satisfying breakfast good produce and free range eggs. Car parking at rear entrance. Sunday lunch was promptly served with quick service. Close to railway station and the Priory Church.

Fantastic little Inn. Stayed for one night between Lake District activities at honister and buttermere. Around a 30 minute drive from both. Across the road from bassenthwaite lake which was perfect to cool down in after an active day. We stayed in room 25 which was delightful! Perfect for a family of four. Lovely little communal garden with a picnic bench. Easy parking. Staff lovely, and food was great! Will definitely return!

Really enjoyed my stay in Room 5 of this inn. There was ample parking for guests. The room was cosy and clean. I especially loved the breakfast menu at this inn. Every night, you can fill up a form with your selection and in the morning, you just walk up to your assigned table and breakfast is served!
