Characterful hotel in a great location . Breakfast and dinner were excellent.
It was a little bit chilly in the dining area.

Excellent location in town. The room was clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and warm. Bathroom good size with hot water (not warm like some places) and good water pressure in the shower.
Breakfast was very good, served with a nice selection of hot food (including meat-free options).
We had dinner and this was good, warm, homely pub-grub, and the beer was a delight too.
All the team were friendly and polite.
Location-wise - Pooley Bridge is on the edge of Lake Ullswater and there are some excellent walks in the area and a short drive/ferry journey away. This is a great base for a few days in the lakes. Would happily stay here again without any hesitation.
One small thing for management to have a look at is staff attentiveness in the dining room - we had some food served without cutlery and had to wait a while before we could get someone's attention (they were chatting to each other).

Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was really nicely fitted out and warm. Excellent beverages tray and shower with lovely smellies. Lovely old building a couple of minutes walk from Ullswater.
Breakfast was substantial and delicious, though not sure if they have gluten free toast as I forgot to ask for any.
Single glazed window to our first floor room meant we heard a lot of the outside noise. Earplugs were provided though! It must cost a fortune to keep the room as warm as it was when we arrived given the draft.

The accessible rooms are the most accessible we’ve ever had, and feel warm and welcoming and not like a hospital room

Lovely pub, log fires, great breakfast
Shower over the bath was useless. The taps for the bath came out too far so you couldn’t get under the shower.

Lovely country pub hotel on the edge of the lake. Dog and family friendly. Very comfortable bed in a nice quiet room. Food in the pub was nice. Free parking in front of the hotel, although limited number of spaces.

Amazing stay at the Crown Inn. The staff were all lovely and couldn’t do enough. We were given a free room upgrade which was so nice after booking the trip last minute due to a flight cancellation. So clean and comfortable with great views over Ullswater

Set in a beautiful location. As it was a special occasion we stayed in the character room which was a bit pricy but lovely and comfortable.
We ate in the restaurant both evenings and the food was excellent. The waitresses were very polite and service was good.
The room wasn’t replenished/ prepared after our first night. I did display the sign requesting this service. We went out walking that morning and came back to our room late afternoon hoping to find clean cups, glasses towels etc and a general tidy of the room. When I asked at reception I was told that they were short staffed and there was only one person cleaning the rooms. The member of staff was quite dismissive.

The restaurant staff were amazing at helping us with our dietary requirements.
The bath kept emptying while using it and the faucet dripped the entire trip. The sink tap was falling off and was difficult to use when washing your hands.

Meals were good,breakfast could have been a little more generous on portion size. Had the veggie breakfast, sausage was deep fried which was disappointing,the mushroom wasn’t really cooked through either but poached egg was perfect.Nice fresh fruit salad and orange juice when we requested it. Fresh roasted coffee in a cafetière each was great.
We had room 6 ,very nice but the windows need blinds as it’s very public. Good tea/ coffee tray.Nice to have fresh milk . Lovely hotel with a beautiful outdoor area.Definitely will return. There is free parking outside hotel but it’s hard to get a space

The crown is a beautiful cosy hotel and restaurant with stunning views and walk around.
We visit with the dog every year roughly around November time as its all decorated for Christmas the log fires are on so it’s just sets a very cosy and relaxing atmosphere
The staff are so friendly nothing is to big of a job for them every staff member is lovely to talk to.
It’s dog friendly and all staff are lovely with the dogs also.
Even the night staff are lovely and friendly!
The parking isn’t the best but there’s plenty pay and displays around if outside the hotel isn’t available

Breakfast was fresh and service very fast
Heating in the room was far too hot on the 1st night and wouldn’t reduce by altering the radiator. However staff dealt with the issue very efficiently

Very clean and stylish. Breakfast was very good, and the bar downstairs had a lovely atmosphere for pre dinner drinks.
Very comfortable.
Only drawback was that as room was front facing and the windows weren’t double glazed, the noise of the bins being emptied by the lorry at 5.30 in the morning woke us up.
