Lovely hotel, very clean and accessible to local train station & 5 mins walk to Lidl. Staff were super helpful and very good value for money. Room was 🎉very & clean, the bathroom is the 4* star quality ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
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’d stayed here for almost 4 nights I love the room.
Even though I booked a single room, I have plenty of space. I have an option to have housekeeping or the token in the bar, but there's a bit of confusion about using the token in the water. I checked in Friday night so bars along the street are having fun it's kinda loud so the wall is vibrating as well 😅😂I mean you can hear it very loud. Overall my stay it's okay!
Had read dome negative reviews but actually had a great experience.
Room was spacious bathroom lovely. Fresh and beautifully clean. Loved the decor.
Excellent staff, especially as I arrived 1am!
Bargain at £41 as well! Will definitely use as a stopover fir Scotland fron now on!
The hotel is relatively remote, but the environment is surprising, the rooms are clean, the backyard lawn is very comfortable, and the children are having fun. There is no place to eat nearby, only dinner at the hotel. It is estimated that usually only local people will go there. The service capacity is limited. Dinner can only be seated at a designated time, but the dishes are more delicate.
The room was clean and hygienic. I found two socks left by previous guests in the room.
The location is good. There is a supermarket next to it, which is convenient. There is also free parking. Other things are generally OK.
Traditional city centre hotel, great location, excellent value (low season?). The young lady on reception duty, spotted my request for a quiet room , well done - stayed at a 4 star in Liverpool the night before and they didn't!
Young chap also on reception gave me a bit of the history of the place - thank you . Room was fine, old building so high ceiling, nothing flash but it had some character. The lounge is beautiful with original features.
Cheap hotel single traveler don't take your girlfriend or wife there for your honeymoon
The money u will save will be a fabulous meal tomorrow. Has a bath
We stayed in Carlisle for a couple of nights. The hotel was a 5 minute walk from the station and close to the city centre. There were a lot of pubs and restaurants close by which was convenient. The hotel was clean and comfortable.
Very Good

GGuest UserI have grave misgivings about hotels in the busiest parts of the Lake District, especially at holiday times. Obviously they will be relentlessly overcrowded, with harassed and unfriendly staff. I’ve wanted to go back to the Proper Lake District for a while though so took a risk on the King’s Head. It’s easy to find on the ear popping main road up from Grasmere, just beyond the impressive hulk of Steel Fell, close to Thirlemere. Parking anywhere in the Lakes is hideous and expensive. Not here. Relaxed and plenty of room. It’s a long building with a pleasant bar restaurant area and beer garden. I found a rather pleasant residents lounge where a lady called Jo checked me in and made me feel welcome. It does get busy with passing trade but the staff look after their residents. They flogged me decent real ale and Jura whisky (the proper stuff). Breakfast is briskly table served from a menu and is well presented. I didn’t eat otherwise there but the food is popular and well priced. The road outside is busy and a bit of a racetrack, and the occasional fighter jet roars between the mountains on low altitude practice, but the relentless bleating of the sheep opposite soon returns things to normal. I was a little sorry to depart, but the manager said he hoped I would come again. I believe I will, and will even bring my wife.

GGuest UserI arrived on a stormy night in the lake district - on entering the hotel I was met with a warm glow from the log fire and a very warm welcome from the receptionist.
As the hotel dining room was about to close, a room was sorted and the kitchen kept open for an evening meal - a delicious melt in the mouth steak was a pleasure after a 6 hour
drive from the south of england, washed down with a welcome glass of Shiraz.
The bed was very comfortable, the room had a large bath and separate shower cubicle and copious hot water.
The decor and fittings were in sympathy with the age and history of the hotel, a pleasant change from the blandness of more modern mass market hotels.
The staff were very friendly and it was a pleasure to be assisted without having to use automated impersonal systems.
I will not hesitate to stay at the hotel again when I am next in the area.
GGuest UserA beautiful property. Everything is very clean and location very good. Service staff also very friendly, makes you come back and order more. We took a bigger room as had luggage for comfort. Everything went well. Very close to a hike trail with nice top views of Windermere lake
JJamesOutstanding, I had a superb stay ,the George is unique
Whilst, having a timeless aspect ,magnificent historic building it has modern features, and aspects,that make it very comfortable.
The best hotel experience, I have had for year's, I am looking forward to staying again, a perfect end to my
Christmas break.
GGuest UserVery old looking run down needs totally  decorating from top to bottom …..
killed 5 flees in my bed not a clean place .
On the plus side the food . evening meal was good breakfast was fab …. Entertainment was good. Bar was busy people dancing throughout the night every one enjoying their self’s 
GGuest UserThe hotel I was originally booked in had a flood so at the last minute I had to find another one, I found Arkale lodge and it didn’t disappoint, the rooms are pretty basic, but extremely clean which in my book is more important than a fancy room. And certainly good enough for the price I paid, the gentleman that showed me around was friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was from 7 which was perfect for my continuation of my Hadrians wall walk.
The Breakfast was included in the room price and was exceptional (full English, which I easily adapted as a non meat eater)
It was plentiful, delicious and freshly made. And a great start to my long tiring day
Thank You so Much
For your kind hospitality

GGuest UserThe hotel was situated opposite a big car park that had electric charging at fairly reasonable rates. The hotel itself is Victorian and it retains all of its beautiful features with my room still having the old coal fireplace clearly decorative but a greag touch.
The rooms themselves were immaculately clean and the bathroom was modern and the water steaming hot what more do you want!
The landlady was really polite, engaging and really helpful.
The breakfast was very tasty I had the vegetation option which I recommend. Plenty of fresh ground coffee and it was a great start to my day.
I highly recommend this hotel even if it’s for only one day or many more it will suit all that stay there.
