    Be sure to ask about heating controls if you prefer a warmer room. they operate from downstairs and can take time to adjust.

    full english breakfast
    cozy atmosphere
    quirky decor
    poor tv reception

    I had a lovely stay, especially enjoying the full English breakfast and the cozy atmosphere by the wood-burning stove. The quirky decor added charm, although the TV reception wasn’t great. I'd definitely return!

    friendly staff

    will come back

    Had a lovely time at this charming old pub. My standard double room was cozy with a comfy bed and a fantastic view. The shower was great, and the toiletries smelled amazing. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order, especially loved the crispy halloumi. The location is perfect for walkers, with trails right outside. Friendly staff made us feel welcomed.

    garden view
    outdated common areas

    comfortable stay but some areas for improvement

    The welcoming staff made our arrival effortless, providing all the necessary information. The garden view from our room truly enhanced the ambiance of our stay.

    The hotel could use some updating in common areas.

    bright dining room
    charming bar

    great access to stunning walks and nearby attractions

    I adored the charming bar area and the bright, airy dining space for breakfast with local produce, making it a perfect kickoff for our days exploring the nearby paths like Aira Force, which is just a short walk away, and Ullswater steamers, only a bit further.

    missing mirror

    At the Royal, I enjoyed the cozy room with lovely views and delicious meals. Although I wished there was a mirror for convenience, the staff's friendliness and attention to detail made my stay delightful.

    comfortable bed
    friendly service
    expensive meals
    early bar closure
    unreliable wi-fi

    A delightful stay, marked by a quaint atmosphere and friendly service. The room offered stunning views and the bed was extremely comfortable. Dining options were impressive, especially the crispy halloumi, which stood out as exceptional. the bar closed early, limiting late-night options, and the prices for meals and drinks felt quite steep. Wi-Fi and mobile signals were unreliable, which might detract from the experience for some guests.

    clean room
    large bath
    beautiful view
    noisy pub-goers
    soundproofing issues

    The room was clean and comfy with a large bath, which was a huge plus. I loved the view from my window too. there were some noisy pub-goers that made it hard to relax at times. a nice spot but could use some soundproofing.

    comfortable bedding
    generous portions
    clean rooms
    poor soundproofing

    The spacious rooms offer a decent amount of comfort, particularly the bedding which allows for a good night's rest. Excellent food portions in the bar area, including a pavlova that diners found massive and worth sharing, adding to the overall dining experience.

    Room soundproofing is severely lacking, especially in units above the bar, where noise from below can wake you frequently. Maintenance issues are present, with bathrooms showing poor sealant and other plumbing quirks like unexplained flushing sounds. Inconsistent Wi-Fi service poses a hassle, dropping out frequently, especially when needing it most in the garden area. Overall cleanliness in bathrooms hasn't always matched expectations, as residues from past occupants were noticed.
