Gosforth Hall Inn, hotel in Buttermere

Located near the beautiful Wasdale Valley where you will find the deepest lake in England and Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gosforth hall inn. It was super dog friendly with a short walk to a field with amazing views to exercise our dog. We had drinks in their beautiful beer garden before & after dinner, I had the steak & mushroom pie which was superb. The room was very clean & comfortable with a modern bathroom with a really good walk in shower. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice & set us up for the day. I only wish we could of stayed for longer, but will look forward to returning.

    Excellent position for walks in the Lake District with our dog (Bobby). Lovely staff and gorgeous food. Exceptional breakfast. We’ve stayed before when it was known as The Fish Inn (historical property). The rooms are freshly decorated and clean. Local beers and attentive bar service.

    The location was great, the area is really peaceful and there's so many fantastic mountains and views to see. The 77 loops around to Keswick and that was very convenient for such a remote feeling place. Syke farm and and the Bridge Inn are good alternatives for lunch or a meal too.

    Excellent. Both had eggs Florentine for breakfast. It was a nice touch to get make your own pack lunches free of charge. Good range of drinks in the bar which was busy with external visitors and residents. Dinner choices appeared basic on the menu but actually the homemade aspects were really good - eg the double beef burger made with local beef. Definitely a recommendation. Bathroom was very clean and modern.

    Staff extremely friendly and offered me directions for my planned walking routes the next day. Big building with self catering facilities, plenty of loos and showers. Food (dinner and breakfast) was very nice and in line with other YHA hostels I’ve stayed at. Big spacious lounge with superb views. Good location for hiking.

    We rested here after climbing Scaffell Pike. The hotel had everything we needed to recover from the long hike. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the shower/bath had luxurious toiletries. We had dinner in the restaurant downstairs, the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was included in the room rate. It was a tasty and generous portion. Thank you for the perfect stay!
