Liked the cosy feel of the inn, very homely and relaxing. Low ceilings, heart warming fireplace and beautiful views of surrounding areas- both in the bedrooms and the restaurant. Plenty of parking and because it’s a little bit out of the main areas there’s less people.
This hotel is situated within the heart of the beautiful Lake District, overlooked by the impressive fells and mountains. It offers stylish, modern rooms and an all-day coffee shop.

The location was the highlight for us. As soon as you walk out the hotel, you are greeted with great views in every direction.
It was a good place for the dogs, but you could tell it was one of few places to stay that allowed pets, as their were quite a few dogs walking around.
A Regency house overlooking Ullswater, the Macdonald Leeming House has an award-winning restaurant and views of the Cumbrian Fells. It is a 15-minute drive from the M6 motorway.

The room was large and well furnished. It was very suited to our elderly dog.
The staff were pleasant, friendly and attentive. The grounds are lovely. The food is good.

All staff were lovely & never felt the dog was an inconvenience being there. We've stayed at other places that say they're dog friendly but then you end up on a table by yourself out of the way but not the case here.
Situated in Threlkeld, 12 km from Derwentwater, The White Horse Inn Bunkhouse features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Surprisingly crisp white bedding on bunk beds, heated room, separate kitchen and dining area with enough kitchenware for a short stay. Outdoor views were lovely and we had a quiet outdoor picnic bench as well. Security was good with door codes on every room. Good value.

Lovely location for climbing the hills to see over Ullswater and climbing down length of Aira Force waterfalls.
Good position to explore the area; only 20 mins by car from Keswick and easy access to and from the South via the Kirkstone Pass
Hotel itself provides good menu choice and the food is well cooked and worth the price.

I liked the Hotel and the area where it was. It was only a few minutes drive to Ullswater but the savings compared to hotels by the lake was a bonus. It was very comfortable and the staff were lovely. Best thing it was super dog friendly!

There was a very good open area outside, with small and large tables and chairs. Here one could order a hot meal from the bar indoors, which would be delivered to us when ready. there was also space for a giant chess set on the marked grass.
Possibly the only problem, though we had told them that we would have to leave early the last morning, we found that none of the outer doors had been unlocked by 8.00a.m.

Just a wonderful lake district hotel.
Just a wonderful lake district hotel. It ticked all the boxes. Was realy easy to find but was so quiet. Really close to Aira force, and Ulswater and really close for a walk up Helvellyn. Food was excelent, there was 6 of us for 2 nights so between us we had almost everything off the menu and everyone loved it - even the dog!
Comfy bedrooms, with big windows to let in the fresh air. Excellent shower and bath facilities with lovely natural soaps provided.

A Very pretty but very small village/location with wonderful scenery all around , 10 minute walk from the hotel to the beginning of the Aero Force trail to Ullswater. There was an Art studio/shop close to the hotel but unfortunately this was closed.
Perfect Lake District hotel. The lads tht run the place couldnt have been more friendly nor helped any more - whether it was bowls for us to have an early breakfast in our room, newspaper to dry out sodden boots or our numeros drinks and food orders, they were all excellent.
Hotel is lovely, oldy worldy but comfy bed, great shower, smart tv, opening wndows, easy parking, great food and drink! Breakfast was excellent.
We had a great stay and we will be back!
Beautiful location in a lovely country pub hotel. Loved being able to access so many walks, and all the staff were great. It was lovely to have our dog welcomed so much too. We ate in the pub restaurant both evenings, as the food was good and made things very convienient. Food in both evening and breakfast was very good, especially the seasonal stewed fruit. Made a lovely end of year break.
The location was beautiful, the hotel was really characterful and very nicely decorated. The food from the bar was top notch and well worth the prices asked. The breakfast was really nice with lots to choose from and, the lady responsible for serving the guests was great.
If you want the quintessential country pub experience, you'd be hard pushed to top the Royal Hotel in Dockray.
Incredibly comfortable and great interior design A little off the beaten path so a car is necessary. Good little pub with good meals and pints within walking distance. Walking trails straight out the door Loved the views snd peace after exploring in the much more crowded Lake District villages
What a gorgeous property! The photographs certainly don’t do it justice. It was the little touches that made it- the underfloor heating on, orange juice and Prosecco left in an ice bucket! Felt like we’d walked into a boutique hotel- slippers, bath robes. Cannot recommend this little gem enough.
Wonderful hotel, great staff, great location. Excellent food, both breakfast and evening meal. Excellent selection of drinks. Room was very comfortable with very comfy bed, and really good facilities. Shower was lovely, along with the provided soaps and shampoo.
Would recommend to everyone!
Location was good for us although not a lot else around. Hotel looks great with period features,a cosy fireplace ,nice looking bar and dining area bedroom was a good size. The couple who run the hotel were very pleasant. Breakfast was very good with a good selection.
Lovely hotel, well placed for Ullswater and other parts of the Lake District. Breakfast was excellent and staff friendly. The room was spacious with a comfy bed and great shower. Very quiet so slept very well! Free parking on site. Good value, would stay here again.
Excellent location, a little bit away from busy tourist area. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent large beer garden. Good dinner menu and perfect portions for full breakfast.
The hotel was in a lovely quiet location close to Glenridding, Pooley Bridge and Ullswater.
