    road noise

    I enjoyed a quiet stay with a spacious room that had a great shower. The breakfast was hearty and well-prepared. it would be nice to have a lounge area for socializing in the evenings, and service at the bar could be more inviting.

    Great stay with fab food

    We had a lovely two-night stay! Our twin room was recently revamped and super comfy. Breakfast was a highlight, made fresh and delicious. The bar area felt really welcoming, and we enjoyed chatting with locals. The only thing was, the parking can be a bit tight during busy times.

    gathering space

    The decor, featuring old post boxes and beamed ceilings, was charmingly nostalgic. The spacious room was accessible and comfortable, allowing me to easily enjoy a lovely breakfast in the bar area without any hassle.

    quiet location
    hospitable hosts
    lack of amenities
    no entertainment options
    noise disturbance

    In a lovely quiet location, the spacious twin room offered much comfort, with no noise from downstairs hampering our peace. The evening meal was excellent, featuring locally sourced ingredients, and the superb breakfast completed a delightful experience. Cleanliness was apparent throughout, impressively maintained by the hospitable hosts. the lack of additional amenities or entertainment options could be considered a drawback for some guests.

    clean rooms
    full english breakfast
    comfortable stay

    We had an amazing weekend with friends! We enjoyed exploring the nearby water skiing and windsurfing spots. The place was clean and had comfy rooms. The full English breakfast was a highlight. Just make sure to have a spot to dry your wet gear if you're adventuring outdoors!

    Unfortunately, another group had our booked rooms and left us without accommodation. It was frustrating, as we had planned everything well in advance.

    water uncertainty

    The bar area could use a bit of warmth, particularly on those chilly nights, although it's understandable given the zero-degree weather outside. After a day trekking in torrential rain, having a designated spot to dry our wet clothes would have really hit the mark and made the experience just a touch more convenient. As it stood, the lack of clarity on whether the bathroom water was drinkable led to some awkward moments asking for more jugs to be filled up.

    comfortable room
    friendly service

    we stayed at posting house for two nights in a lovely double room. it was quiet, and we had a fantastic sleep. the landlady and waitress were very welcoming, making us feel right at home. plus, it's a short drive to keswick and derwent water, which is a lovely bonus for exploring the area.
