Huge rooms, staff very accommodating and friendly, nice food, great breakfast. Very dog friendly. Beautiful grounds. Recommend this place, it’s a hidden gem. If we up this way would definitely return.
Atop one of England’s most beautiful valleys, Woolpack Inn is a 20-minute drive from the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. It is surrounded by scenic hiking trails, and offers real ales and free Wi-Fi.

we chose this location as it was close to wasdale head to climb scafell pike! Thankfully we got the last room for the hotel for the weekend and we werent disappointed. The room had a lovely
Modern bathroom with walk in shower, the bed was lovely and comfy especially after our hike! The decor was country and cosy which was perfect! The inn was super busy as local campsites were close and it was such a friendly lovely environment. The staff were informative and very helpful! Miles particularly who served us was just a beacon of excellent customer service. The communication amongst the team was great, especially around the need to wait for the chef to catch up for orders which was absolutely fine. We ordered a bottle of wine and waited. The food was nice, especially the bbq ribs dipped in the soup of the day (potato and leek). We really loved our stay, thanks for having us!
The Eskdale is a purpose built YHA hostel set in its own extensive grounds. Ideally located to explore the Lake District, this affordable accommodation is nestled in a picturesque setting.

Great location for walking Sca Fell. Clean kitchen and dining areas. Rooms good size. Could get food and drink here or walk 5 mins to the pub
Nestled in the Eskdale Valley, Bower House Inn is 4 miles from the Cumbrian coast. This 17th century 3 star inn offers superb food in its restaurant and rooms with en suite bathrooms.

We loved it! A bit of a 'ghost hotel' with check in done over the phone, but that suited us just fine. We loved the peace and quiet and the fact we could bring and cook our own food in the ample and very well outfitted kitchen. Beautifully decorated and stunning views! Also they were kind enough to provide us with a late checkout for a smallish fee. We had a fabulous time and hope to come back some day...
1692 Wasdale is closed to Gosforth and features a garden, terrace and shared lounge. Rooms include a patio with a sea view. At the hotel, the rooms come with a desk.

Modern accommodation. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into making our stay as comfortable as possible. Nice attention to detail in both the room and communal areas.
Set in Broughton in Furness, 31 km from World of Beatrix Potter, NEWFIELD INN offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Did the job, cute wee room above a traditional Cumbrian pub. Great place to stay if you also want to enjoy some real ales and Cumbrian food. The staff were all lovely and it had good heating (not always the case in these parts). The breakfast the next day was tasty and served in front of a roaring fire.
I can't fit this on a simple review. If you like the great outdoors just go and explore. One of my favourite spots in Cumbria. No lake, but it makes up for this in scenery and crystal clear mountain streams.

Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend...
Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend away with our dog. There are so many amazing walks from the doorstep and there are some lovely dog friendly pubs in Boot which you can find on foot. The food and service in the Brook house Inn was great. We Recommend the Stanley Ghyll waterfall, it was spectacular, and only a short walk from the cottage.

Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far...
Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far from Scafell etc.. Cumbria and the Lakes is a huge area with limited access by road so staying near your plans of adventure is a quite key now (fuel) and time on the road. I have stayed in Eskdale (the area) quite a few times now in different accommodation. It is what I want ie staying in the countryside of this beautiful place, you have your village shop and pubs and inns, leave your woes on a tree somewhere well before you get there and feel the tranquillity of why you came in the first place.

Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district...
Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district with stunning views and a good base for exploring Wasdale with all its mountains and the spectacular Wastwater. Also access to the little railway and the passes over to Landgdale and the busy Lake district. All roads out of Eskdale have great views. It is even handy for the unspoiled coastline. One of the best places to get away from the crowds.

Eskdale is for walkers.
Eskdale is for walkers. The paths we trod had clear signposts. The paths were well used. We were fortunate with the weather and the views were amazing. But that is what we went for.
We also travelled on the Ravenglass Eskdale miniature railway which is always great fun.It is enjoyed by all ages.
I would avoid walking on any of the roads. The hotel is on the road which leads to Hardknott and Wrynose Passes and some (not all) drivers, clearly from a city environment, are so intent on crossing the passes they have no consideration for any people walking along the roads.
The actual road surface could do with a lot of patching. Eskdale has more than its fair share of potholes!
We stayed in Lamplugh house at Irton hall in a group of 5.. got there late after Scafell Pike but the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating as we had a meal booked but had to change the time..
There was a log fire with wood to burn in the property which was lovely after we came in from the cold although it has central heating..
wish we stayed longer as it was a lovely place and will be booking again ..
On the description of the hotel it said it was one of the oldest hotels in the lakes which was really cool, the images however absolutely did not replicate the place. It was so run down ragged and stinky. My images of the room are to show how astonishing and completely gobsmacked i was by this
Hotel was quaint and clean, was great to have access to a kitchen on site, too.
Location is lovely - lots of nice walks and Inns nearby, peaceful garden behind the property too. Stanley Ghyll Waterfall and the Japanese Garden in Giggle Alley were particular highlights for walking.
Excellent hotel in stunning location. Spacious rooms. Huge kitchen dining. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful river right on doorstep. PLEASE follow the directions advice from the hotel. There are a few very dangerous roads if you don’t take their directions. Avoid Hardknott pass
Spot on location central to some fantastic walks in the Eskdale valley, friendly staff, lovely variety of food and drinks (Wood fired Pizza oven on site) plenty of parking, friendly laid back accomadating atmosphere, comfortable clean rooms, a great place to stay
Fabulous food, truly excellent breakfast and we also ate in the hotel bar both nights of our stay. Great menu and delicious food. Hotel is in a beautiful location. The room was so quiet and had great nights sleep.
great location and Pele tower was ideal for a big group with the games room being a nice extra. staff were very pleasant and the hotel bar was great. we had a great stay and thought it offered good value.
The location of the hotel was good, 4 min away from the river and a nice view if you were at the bar. Pizza was really good, in place pizza oven. Very modern and nice bathroom with a walk in shower.
Food, breakfast & Dinner was good. Dinner had a varied menu,. Breakfast varied. Room was large with a large bed, however yje bed was uncomfortable and no alternate bedding other than a thick duvet
The hotel itself is a little tired but otherwise comfortable. The food is excellent, hearty fare with a good selection of beer and wine. It is an ideal location to explore the western lakes.
We liked everything about it, staff were friendly and made us welcome rooms were clean and comfortable and plenty on the menu to choose from and enjoyed both breakfast and evening meal.
