Great location, very good facilities, hosts were able to help us by providing 2 bbqs, allowed my dog to stay. Overall a great place to start climb of Scafell.
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.

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 huge, light and lovely and the bathroom was big. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice and plentiful. Dinner was excellent and we opted to dine in every night. The grounds were beautiful and there was plenty of parking. Wifi was also very good.
The location was great for the west lake district and the hotel was easy to get to from a main A road for which we were grateful as the narrow lanes tested our nerves a bit much!
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 ..
the location speaks for it self the lake district was just fantastic words and pictures don't do it justice the hotel was surprising it was friendly and relaxed the staff were lovely the people staying were respectful it all exceeded my expectations and iv already said to the staff before I made my journey back south that I am coming back to experience more of the lake district and I look forward to it.
Forest How is a little gem tucked away in a quiet corner of Eskdale surrounded by a beautiful garden filled with the sounds of birds and frequented by red squirrels. No faux boutique touches here just the perfect guest house, quintessentially English, done to perfection. Best of all are the wonderful breakfasts served up by friendly mother and daughter team who run the show.
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
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.
Excellent hotel in stunning location. Spacious rooms. Huge kitchen dining. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful river right on doorstep. PLEASE follow the directions advice from the hotel. There are a few very dangerous roads if you don’t take their directions. Avoid Hardknott pass
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
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.
What wasn’t there to like. The location, friendly atmosphere, the outstanding staff, the rooms, the comfort of the bed. The range of the menu and the quality of the food. All outstanding. An absolute gem.
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 location of the hotel was good, 4 min away from the river and a nice view if you were at the bar. Pizza was really good, in place pizza oven. Very modern and nice bathroom with a walk in shower.
Friendly welcome by staff that were on hand to answer queries and suggest places to visit and how to get there. The breakfast and evening meal were superb. Interesting menu, well cooked food.
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.
