Stanley Arms Hotel

Stayed here with colleagues for a local work event. Excellent stay. Great welcome and friendly staff. Superb selection of well kept beers. Comfortable room. Very nice meal. Very reasonable for the location. Will be booking here again in future.

Poor Sunday lunch, pre done everything, badly overcooked and only a couple of potatoes on the plate for £15. Tired inside, pub is up for sale. Would not ever bother again, very poor unless you just want a drink i suppose. Pub needs a lot of money throwing at it, meals are basically ready meals on a plate, Dont wast your money

Went for food here and what a great venue. The landlord and landlady made us feel very welcome. Good food good atmosphere and great beer garden. Definitely recommend this place. Had 3 real ales on the bar also although I was driving so couldn't have this time.

We didn't stay overnight but stopped for some food a few days ago. We have never ever felt so welcomed anywhere! Every person there was so attentive and the food was proper home cooked deliciousness. The beer garden looked amazing for the summer. Dog friendly, family friendly. Amazing staff. Thank you 😍

This is a pub with rooms above. We stayed there before going to the Krankenhaus festival in nearby Ravenglass. The owners were welcoming, in the straight-forward West Cumbrian manner. We were in an unrefurbished double room overlooking the beer garden. It was fine as we don't need luxury: a bit old school in furnishings, especially the bathroom, but everything was fine, quite roomy, and the bed was comfy. I believe some of the other rooms are refurbished. It was very quiet. Wifi was a bit patchy. We arrived too late for food (they stop serving at 8.30pm) but they did offer to rustle something up if we were hungry. Breakfast next morning was a full English or scrambled eggs on toast - all you need.

Booked last minute trip to the lakes and found this gem of a pub whilst searching. The whole experience was made by the most 2 wonderful and friendly ladies both called Karen. Both couldn’t have done more to make our stay any more welcoming and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble even got my husband a red onion (private joke) but it was such a lovely gesture that made our stay. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean and overlooked the river, The food was really good quality and plenty of choices on the menu for lunch/evening meals. Breakfast was fantastic too, all made fresh and again looked after like royalty from the 2 Karen’s. I can’t praise them both highly enough and will definitely be back just to see them again. Thank you for a really nice stay you made our weekend x
