We could access all the parts of the lake district we like within 30 minutes and the setting is beautiful. The nook warmed up super quick which is great on a chilly evening.

We were very lucky that Jean (who runs the camping barn) was nearby on-site throughout our stay, and she lit the woodburner for us every afternoon, taking the chill off for our return from walks during the freezing weather we have had during Storm Bert. (Sometimes Jean has to stay at her family's other farm elsewhere, and when that happens you have to fend for yourselves more). The beds were very comfortable, there were quilts and hot water bottles to supplement our sleeping bags, and the kitchen was adequately equipped for us to do basic catering for ourselves throughout our stay. The shower takes either £1 or 5x20ps and gives loads of time. There was also a wall-mounted fan-heater which worked on £1 coins but we didn't use that. There's little to no phone reception. The Stagecoach bus 555 runs past very regularly, so very easy access by public transport.

The receptionist at the check in was very polite and helpful. The room had a mountain view and was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was cooked to perfection. Good selection of fruit and cereal at the breakfast buffet.

    Great little place if you want to stay a night after a big walk very cozy and comfortable the weather wasn’t amazing when we were there but added to the cosiness, of the little Shepherds hut hearing the rain outside had a great time. Would stay again.

    The Lake District is so much more than just hills and lakes.

    The Lake District is so much more than just hills and lakes. It is a place that is good for the soul and has some unique shopping areas. The coast line with it's seaside towns complement the hills and lakes. Just wish we had more time but we will be back.

    The hotel, staff and food exceeded our expectations. Real ale was well kept and a bonus. The highlight of the afternoons were the RAF jets flying up the valley at tree top hight. People would wait for their arrival.

    The scenery is stunning!

    The scenery is stunning! Shame about the closeness of the road to our bedroom window! A cooked breakfast would be an improvement! The room was tiny! I did have another 3 days booked for the end of September but cancelled after our stay! Find somewhere different to eat other than The Kings Head which isn’t as good as they make out!

    Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes.

    Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes. A lot of good restaurants in the general area, but book early if in a large group . Hoards of people so visit important places early e.g. Castlerigg stone circle is MUCH better if you're the only group there. You can feel its 4500 years age. Book steam ferries before you go otherwise availability might be low. Ask prices at tea rooms before buying. We paid £33 for seven teas/coffees.

    Great location, set back from the road, at Dale Head Hall. So it’s quiet but only 10 min walk to pub and bus stop, easy to walk into central and eastern fells from the door. Great views from the first floor apartment across the lakeside grounds and Thirlmere. Spacious, comfortable and functional apartment, new bathroom with good shower. Boot room available for drying wet gear. Good value.

    The location of this hotel is one of its main excellent points - right by Thirlmere with some beautiful walks on the doorstep, including Helvellyn, Keswick a ten minute drive and Ambleside/Grasmere not far in the other direction. The coffee shop/bar inside is also brilliant, and open til 9pm which is really handy. The staff were absolutely lovely too.

    Welcome from the minute we arrived, staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. Despite being 400 years old it was immaculate and the food was lovely and plentiful, highly recommend dining in the hotel. Special thank you to Peter and Dawn as well as the singing chef 😂🤣. Definitely going back. Thanks team.
