Great place to visit with a good choice of eateries and pubs. The bookshop is amazing and is a lovely place to browse and have a coffee.
Good bus links with Penrith Station if you are using public transport. Fantastic walks from the doorstep, including the Eamont and Ullswater Ways.

Beautiful lake.
Beautiful lake. We enjoyed the boat trip from the pier which allowed us to have nice family walks in the gorgeous Lake District. We also appreciated the kids-friendly local pubs and good outdoor spaces.
Castles and the Hadrian wall are also nearby. We loved our bank holiday week end in Pooley Bridge.

Lovely walks in the surrounding area, especially by the lake...
Lovely walks in the surrounding area, especially by the lake. Well stocked bookshop with lovely adjoining coffee shop. We travelled there by car, but there seems to be a good bus service, especially to Penrith and also saw one service bus going to Windermere.

Very busy but beautiful spot.
Very busy but beautiful spot. The views along Ullswater if you walk towards Howtown are fabulous…….i
More charm and less commercial than Windermere.
Once the crowds disappear or before they arrive is great
Except the Sun Inn the pubs are really food places not bars……
Beautiful country house with stunning decor and furniture. Just like stepping back in time. We were upgraded and our room was amazing. Four poster bed, en-suite bathroom with roll top bath. Stunning views from every window. we brought our dog and walked down to Pooley Bridge via the fields from the house so no need to go on the road. The owner is delightful and loves welcoming guests to her house.
Amazing old school inn location where we spent some time while hiking Lake District - inn was full of tradition, very nice people that did everything to help us have a great time there and that was the most amazing part - whatever problem we had, they solved it with a smile. Food and restaurant were also great and it is just a great place that you can use for you travels or vacation.
The room was comfortable and clean. The shower was amazing - much better than my own shower at home. The staff were great - nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was amazing, quality local produce cooked to order.
The location of the Sun Inn is perfect - all Pooley Bridge amenities within a short walk. 100% would stay again.
Fabulous breakfast good car park but busy at times. Make sure you book early to secure a preferred evening meal time; its popular for a reason. A range of Ales and decent menu. Large comfy bed and a nice bathroom with good shower and well equipped with various drinks, shortbread and fresh milk!
Hotel is beautiful very clean. Pooley bridge is a lovely small dog friendly village with the most friendly people everywhere. The crown staff are absolutely fantastic very pleasant and friendly and majority are excellent with the dogs. Visited here 3 times now and will definatley be returning.
Cheerful place in a small town in the edge of the lake district. One gets the feel of being kind of in the North Woods.
Comfortable, friendly. Clean, Quiet, Easy checkin checkout, Nice dinner and included breakfast. Real small English pub atmosphere. Free safe parking. Easy to find.
Beautiful little cottage, perfect for a couple wanting a quiet retreat close to the amenties of Pooley Bridge with its pubs, cafes and shops. We loved the view from the breakfast table, lambs skipping in the field at the back of the cottage and we loved the small log burner.
Amazing evening meal - we had the tasting menu. Comfortable and quiet room with nice toiletries, and polite and helpful staff. Free parking either adjacent to the hotel or nearby, and conveniently located in Pooley Bridge - a bit of an entrance to the Lakes
The house was beautiful. All rooms en-suite and plenty of space in the house. Beds really comfy and house was very clean. Lovely dining room and kitchen well equipped. Nice large garden too. Situated in the heart of Pooley Bridge.
Amazing location, cozy and comfy inside. Pooley Bridge is a short walk away (torch needed at night as no pavement to walk on and minimal road lighting). 1863 restaurant in Pooley Bridge is worth a visit.
The rooms were clean, bathrooms lovely and beds comfy. The view from the hotel is great and although not dedicated parking it was easy to find appropriate parking. Breakfast was tasty and good choices.
Beautiful place with a great location. The staff were friendly and kind. We wish we would have arrived earlier in the day to enjoy more sights. Very dog friendly town.
