Our bedroom was the one in the photos with the massive windows and great view. It was stunning. The location was great too.
When we arrived it wasn’t a great customer experience. We were 15 minutes early and went to see if our room was ready. We were told without any friendliness or check that our room wasn’t ready. The person who greeted us said they hadn’t seen the housekeeper since 10 that morning and she’d got no idea. Then this person proceeded to walk off. Bear in mind we’re stood at the bar. We weren’t even given an opportunity to reply and we weren’t asked if we wanted a drink or to sit down and wait etc. Eventually she did come back and offered us a drink and we waited. When our room was ready we were taken to it and on the way I made conversation that she looked very busy. She replied to say ‘yes everyone else left on Wednesday.’ It sounded like a walk out which made us worry for our stay. Breakfast was good value especially as we’d only paid £110 for our lovely room. The worst bit of the stay was checking out. I’d paid up front by choice via booking.com I told the same woman this and she said I hadn’t paid and I’d just input my card details. I showed her my receipt and my app. She said well they’ve not sent it to me. Obviously that’s not my fault. She didn’t say that’s fine, don’t worry etc I was made to feel like I wasn’t telling the truth. She said did you tell them to send it to us via a virtual card? I said I’ve no idea what that means I’ve just clicked pay now.

The room was fabulous and the staff during check in/out and breakfast were lovely and polite. The room in the building opposite was decorated tastefully and to a high standard. The bed was comfortable and the bedding clean and crisp. The shower was hot and powerful.
A member of your kitchen staff was drinking in the bar opposite the pub and slagging off the kitchen/food which put us off eating dinner there on the Saturday night.

The hotel is really cozy, clean and relaxing. We loved the bar, the food and the ambience created by the open fire.
Nothing, it was great.

Food was excellent as were the staff who were very accommodating with a few hiccups we experienced. Very cosy pub with nice decor.
Rooms are a little on the small size but this is a very old renovated pub.

Very cosy atmosphere, large and spacious rooms which are decorated beautifully, all the amenities you need in the room. Staff were extremely helpful and polite.
Wonderful on offer and a great range of drinks.
Room got very hot at night so had to open the window therefore got woken by very noisy birds first thing.

Generally Food was ok but very inconsistent. Onion rings first night where fresh ones and very tasty, but 2nd night they brought out frozen ones from a packet. Breakfast was similar first morning 2 bacon 1 tomato, 2nd morning, 1 bacon 2 tomatoes, Staff kept getting orders wrong and tried to charge me for lunch on Saturday when we where walking the hills and did not eat there on Saturday afternoon. Was able to prove with phone that i wasnt there for lunch. The manager looks like she needs some time out as not very polite or helpful.

Staff were lovely and welcoming, very quaint and gorgeous country pub, room was decorated very tastefully and cosy and came with a large tv and mini fridge. Bathroom was lovely also and the handwash smelt gorgeous!
The only thing I can think of was that the eggs were always a bit overdone at breakfast and never runny as advertised and perhaps the coffee wasn't the nicest as it was a drip type coffee but that is honestly just to be nit-picky. We had a very lovely stay otherwise.

lovely building and bedrooms. friendly staff and well organised
Parking is in the main public car park (5 mins walk) which is fine as we were made aware of this well in advance. If you have a lot of luggage or its hammering with rain then maybe speak to the hotel to see what help or access they can offer?

Everything! This is our second time back and we’re even more impressed than the last time. The rooms are cosy, the breakfast / dinner is delicious and value for money is amazing (i couldn’t stop saying this all weekend) it also helps the village of Hawkshead is super cute and festive at this time of year. My boyfriend proposed to me this weekend, so this b&b has even more meaning now, and the staff made it extra special too. We will definitely be returning, thanks again for a lovely stay!
Our only feedback would be the heating controls are locked in the rooms, so when it was too hot in the night we couldn’t turn down the temperature (we usually like it cold) but other than that, no notes!

In a beautiful location cosy little pub and nice clean comfy hotel rooms
Service was a little bit slow for food in the evening but it was rather busy, once the food arrived though it was delicious.

Nice pub in a great location, accommodating and friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable.
We are a family of 3 with a toddler. We were able to comfortably fit a travel cot into our room. The staff always made a fuss of our little boy even when they were rushed off their feet, and he loved it.
The pub used to do better deals on evening meals for each day of the week (eg. 2-4-1 on Pizzas), but that's stopped.
No parking permit given unless booking direct with the pub.

The welcome was really excellent. The staff were really friendly without being over the top. Our room was perfectly comfortable. I thought the food especially breakfast was really good too.
we paid in our ignorance for two days parking to be asked if we had a pass as we left!
we also thought the hotel looked a little tired. window latches loose etc.

Obviously great location! The brown cow accommodation is really good, opposite the pub but nicely presented!
A little short on tea bags and milk in the room.
