The food was absolutely amazing, really high quality food. There were also two gentleman that were really friendly, they need to teach their customers service skills to the younger boys! Very great location wise.
The Eskdale is a purpose built YHA hostel set in its own extensive grounds. Ideally located to explore the Lake District, this affordable accommodation is nestled in a picturesque setting.

What a place, like an upgraded hostel. Rooms are large, comfy and ensuite. Communal areas are really pleasant, the kitchen has everything needed and more. Location is tucked away, exactly what we wanted - will definitely stay again.
1692 Wasdale is closed to Gosforth and features a garden, terrace and shared lounge. Rooms include a patio with a sea view. At the hotel, the rooms come with a desk.

Loved the surrounding area (with the alpacas). The room & bed were both super comfortable to stay in. Really enjoyed all the little touches in the decor and the services provided (cake in the afternoon, breakfast was amazing, great recommendations of nearby restaurant, the mini bar had tons of options). Staff very friendly and welcoming. Very close to the deepest lake in England - would definitely come back and stay here!
Set in Broughton in Furness, 31 km from World of Beatrix Potter, NEWFIELD INN offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Did the job, cute wee room above a traditional Cumbrian pub. Great place to stay if you also want to enjoy some real ales and Cumbrian food. The staff were all lovely and it had good heating (not always the case in these parts). The breakfast the next day was tasty and served in front of a roaring fire.
I can't fit this on a simple review. If you like the great outdoors just go and explore. One of my favourite spots in Cumbria. No lake, but it makes up for this in scenery and crystal clear mountain streams.

Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend...
Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend away with our dog. There are so many amazing walks from the doorstep and there are some lovely dog friendly pubs in Boot which you can find on foot. The food and service in the Brook house Inn was great. We Recommend the Stanley Ghyll waterfall, it was spectacular, and only a short walk from the cottage.

Stayed in Eskdale many times.
Stayed in Eskdale many times. We keep returning because it's quite than done places in the Lake District, fell and mountains walk are abundant. Several local pubs offer food including the Woolpack Inn which do excellent pizza and chunky chips. Suits us and our active lifestyle.

Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far...
Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far from Scafell etc.. Cumbria and the Lakes is a huge area with limited access by road so staying near your plans of adventure is a quite key now (fuel) and time on the road. I have stayed in Eskdale (the area) quite a few times now in different accommodation. It is what I want ie staying in the countryside of this beautiful place, you have your village shop and pubs and inns, leave your woes on a tree somewhere well before you get there and feel the tranquillity of why you came in the first place.

Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district...
Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district with stunning views and a good base for exploring Wasdale with all its mountains and the spectacular Wastwater. Also access to the little railway and the passes over to Landgdale and the busy Lake district. All roads out of Eskdale have great views. It is even handy for the unspoiled coastline. One of the best places to get away from the crowds.

Eskdale is for walkers.
Eskdale is for walkers. The paths we trod had clear signposts. The paths were well used. We were fortunate with the weather and the views were amazing. But that is what we went for.
We also travelled on the Ravenglass Eskdale miniature railway which is always great fun.It is enjoyed by all ages.
I would avoid walking on any of the roads. The hotel is on the road which leads to Hardknott and Wrynose Passes and some (not all) drivers, clearly from a city environment, are so intent on crossing the passes they have no consideration for any people walking along the roads.
The actual road surface could do with a lot of patching. Eskdale has more than its fair share of potholes!
The room was very well appointed and the bed exceptionally comfortable. The hotel was full and very busy but everyone seemed comfortable. We were there on an unusually busy weekend and we were lucky to be squeezed into the bar for dinner. I thought that I had booked dinner with a phone call a month ago so ignored the message reminders. My mistake.
The dinner and breakfast were well prepared and the menus gave choices to suit motorist and mountaineer.
We stayed in Lamplugh house at Irton hall in a group of 5.. got there late after Scafell Pike but the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating as we had a meal booked but had to change the time..
There was a log fire with wood to burn in the property which was lovely after we came in from the cold although it has central heating..
wish we stayed longer as it was a lovely place and will be booking again ..
We loved it! A bit of a 'ghost hotel' with check in done over the phone, but that suited us just fine. We loved the peace and quiet and the fact we could bring and cook our own food in the ample and very well outfitted kitchen. Beautifully decorated and stunning views! Also they were kind enough to provide us with a late checkout for a smallish fee. We had a fabulous time and hope to come back some day...
On the description of the hotel it said it was one of the oldest hotels in the lakes which was really cool, the images however absolutely did not replicate the place. It was so run down ragged and stinky. My images of the room are to show how astonishing and completely gobsmacked i was by this
Beautiful hotel with periodic look. Everything I needed for a long weekend peace, quiet and everything on call that I needed.
The room was clean and spacious and the restaurant and bar first class.
We absolutely loved the food in the restaurant.
Great location for lakes and fells.
Hotel was quaint and clean, was great to have access to a kitchen on site, too.
Location is lovely - lots of nice walks and Inns nearby, peaceful garden behind the property too. Stanley Ghyll Waterfall and the Japanese Garden in Giggle Alley were particular highlights for walking.
Spot on location central to some fantastic walks in the Eskdale valley, friendly staff, lovely variety of food and drinks (Wood fired Pizza oven on site) plenty of parking, friendly laid back accomadating atmosphere, comfortable clean rooms, a great place to stay
Staff were very friendly. Room was lovely and warm comfortable with a nice modern bathroom. Limited menu next door in the pub due to to time of year. Nice walk behind the hotel and plenty of others around. Quite remote very peaceful.
Lovely place, charming and high quality while still being welcoming and "real" in a way that many country inns have forgotten - it still feels like a pub, not a hotel restaurant operating on a historical pub licence.
great location and Pele tower was ideal for a big group with the games room being a nice extra. staff were very pleasant and the hotel bar was great. we had a great stay and thought it offered good value.
The hotel itself is a little tired but otherwise comfortable. The food is excellent, hearty fare with a good selection of beer and wine. It is an ideal location to explore the western lakes.
We liked everything about it, staff were friendly and made us welcome rooms were clean and comfortable and plenty on the menu to choose from and enjoyed both breakfast and evening meal.
