The bar man / manager remembered my name from the get go, he didn’t have to do that at all but it added a personal touch. A proper pub with hearty portions. The steak ale pie was exceptional and the chocolate brownie was really tasty. Breakfast also very good. A great place to stay if you were walking/ hiking.

When I found myself stranded at Ravenglass train station on a Sunday night at 8 pm with no taxi service open, I called the Bower Inn and spoke to a very helpful and understanding lady called Emily, once Emily had listened to my dilemma, she came and picked me up in her own car and when I arrived the kitchen was closed and again Emily went above and beyond and made me a sandwich. Which was very welcome after an all day train journey to get there from the south coast.
Well done Emily and thank you.

Comfy Beds, location, & the staff & food were all fantastic
Kettle didn’t work from the tv extension in room 1 & the tv is too small but it wasn’t a major issue for one nights stay

We love everything about the Bower House. We completely switch off when we get there and enjoy the food which is outstanding. The staff are lovely and fuss our Rosie. Rosie loves to curl up in front of the fire. Very dog freindly and cater for coeliacs. We love it and have nothing negative to say.

Lovely old building which allowed myself and my mum to re visit happy memories from the past.
Staff were very friendly, efficient and welcoming
Extremely busy on the Saturday but this was a result of going on the day of the annual firework display which we were welcome to attend!
Limited alternative for vegetarian and vegan breakfast - 1 sausage veg or vegan replaced 2 meat sausages, 2 slices of bacon and black pudding although to be fair 2 veg sausages provided when requested, but thing there should be better replacements when dietary requirements known in advance.

The staff are superfriendly and obliging. They found us cosy table by the fire after long days walk. The steak and ale pie is so good that I ordered it two nights in a row!
Small thing really - better coffee for breakfast

The staff were lovely, so attentive and helpful - including ringing me prior to check in to check if I needed food before they closed the kitchen. The room had everything I needed for my short stay, and the shower was warm and powerful.
The pillows were quite thin so even two of them wasn't enough for my liking. Absolute nitpicking though, and usually I'd bring my own spare which would have helped!

Wonderful food, reasonably priced and delicious. Also, excellent beer choice.
Nothing really, although the room was 'cosy'.

The property was well located for the purposes of my trip and the staff were very kind and accommodating. The bedroom was clean, tidy and had plenty of amenities as well as a lovely en suite bathroom. The Pub on site was very nice with delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. I was very happy with the price I paid for my room and was pleasantly surprised to find out I had breakfast included for free the next morning, happy days!
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like, it was a very nice place to stay.

Great location for hiking / access to Scafell Pike.
There was a power cut while we were there, which of course couldn’t be helped but was unfortunate as no working lights and no working electricity. Luckily we had torches with us! The room was very warm, and although there was a fan, we couldn’t use it because of the power cut. We opened the window but unfortunately we were right above the door, and there were a lot of people outside the door smoking and talking loudly which drifted through the window and kept us awake. There was also no hot water in the morning.

Only a minor thing, the temperature in the shower was a little challenging to control at times whilst having a shower.

Quiet, clean room across from the pub, with ample safe parking. Excellent location for exploring the region.
Single rooms can be small, but better arranged to have space for a small working area. OK for one night, not for too much more.

We came a long way, and our experience throughout was smooth like butter on bread; and speaking of food, it’s really good portion and delicious. Had no issues; and thanks a lot for the WiFi, it helped us a lot with panning our trip since the mobile network coverage is almost none in the area
This is not directly aimed at the property; its more of a location with almost zero mobile network coverage. We would strongly advise downloading offline navigation or you’ll be panicking. Please don’t go through Hardknott Pass like we did, we are traumised by the experience 🤣

Good location for doing Scafell and beautiful surroundings. Staff welcoming and friendly . Restaurant food was really nice quality and reasonably priced for evening meal and breakfast was good.
Room and Bathroom were very dated and small. Lots of noise from the landing above us as people walked along the corridor. Felt it was slightly overpriced for the room we got (in the separate building) . Breakfast time window quite short (and early) which meant it was very busy .

The staff were excellent and the room was very clean. The restaurant menu is amazing.
It was noisy and the bed was a double but with stopping edges. So it felt smaller
