I hate to write anything other than a great review but I have to be honest about our stay. We paid £148 for one night in a room that to be honest that was small, smelt musty and just generally unclean. We found hairs in the bed, and in a coffee cup. There was rust on the bathroom radiators, black grouting in the shower and the floor just looked unclean. There was also a large dehumidifier in the room - it was clear why. We didn’t end up staying for breakfast as it didn’t start until 8:30am and we were up and out early so can’t comment on that but when we come to leave I was asked have you paid up instead of first asking how our stay was. I unfortunately cant say I would return, It was nothing like the pictures shared on the booking site.

Perfect relaxing break
Always nice to stay here staff friendly and food is very good especially the Sunday lunch. The shepherds huts are perfect everything you need for a relaxing break nice touch with the dressing gowns so we can get to and from hot tub. Ideally situated for walking don’t have to use car if you don’t want to.

Pleasant stay, in comfortable twin room, the bed was a little soft for me but slept reasonably well, the bathroom was definitely a little small but nicely done with mirrors on all walls at face height (a bit scary). We ate in the bar and had an excellent meal, I’m Coeliac and was very well catered for both at dinner and breakfast. A great plus was a gluten free hand pumped beer on the bar as well

The pod was great and clean except it was so hot during the night and we had to open the door 5-6 times and closer to the morning turning off the heating. The second day the water was shut down because of water freezing at -1 degree. My expectation was they could handle water running in even more cold weather conditions. We did the self checkin successfully but no one welcome us pr guide us as local to tell where to go or visit. Our pod was located in the camper van parking area and does not have hot tub as I saw in the photos.

Warm friendly welcome. Cottage was well equipped. Booked breakfast for our last morning and this was a let down. I have never been charged extra for coffee with breakfast. Overall we did enjoy our stay and would go back, but we'd cook our own breakfast!

Another lovely stay in the herdwick apartment, lovely comfortable apartment great for relaxing after a long day out in the mountains. Really well equipped for catering for yourselves or if you dont want to bother you can eat in the pub. Not a major issue but the only thing that i would say is it needs the sign putting back up for parking space as a couple of times when we came back we couldn't park due to customers of pub parked in the space for the apartment.

Unhappy
We were not informed they were having building work, we would of not gone had we known as it was like a building site, dust everywhere, drilling started at 8am, had a marquee where you could buy food and drinks, limited menu served in cardboard box with wooden knife and fork. We were very disappointed
