After a much longer arduous walk, we travelled back on the ferry to where we left our car in Glenridding. It was a hot beautiful day, and at 3:15 we still hadn't had lunch. We stopped here. (feeling slightly underdressed to say the least?!) The staff could not have been more accomodating and helpful, we ordered lunch and sat outside... More

We were staying at the Glenridding Best western for my Wife's sisters Wedding which was a Patterdale hall, around a 15 minute walk away. We arrived at the hotel at 12 midday and were told we couldn't check in until 2pm. We asked if we could have an early check in and even though we found out later that rooms... More

Firstly I'd like to thank you for your comments we take all comments seriously as we make every endeavor to improve on our service. However I feel some of your comments are largely inaccurate and somewhat unfair. I would like to provide the potential traveler with my evaluation of events in a bid to give them a fair account from... More

I rang the Hotel a week or so prior to check-in to book a room for my neighbour for three adults, while I was making the arrangements I asked the Lady taking the call what was the earliest time we could check-in. When I discovered the check-in time was 2pm I explained to the lady that we was attending a... More

I feel I must respond to your review in order for the traveler to gain a better understanding of the situation I find myself in at this present moment. On the afternoon of Monday the 26th March 2012 a group of 4 people entered the reception area. A young lady came to the desk and said that she had a... More

We checked into this hotel on 11th April and left on 14th April - we would've left on 11th if we hadn't paid a deposit! The receptionist obviously would rather have been elsewhere - we got a very garbled precis of "where & what" relating to the hotel and that was it - she returned to her conversation with her... More

I stayed for 2 nights in the excellent Glenridding hotel which overlooks Ullswater in the lake district. I had initially only booked 1 night, however as I was very impressed and had the opportunity I decided to extend this to another night. The car park is found at the rear of the hotel, and was well lit at night. Check... More

We stayed at this hotel as we had been invited to the party after one of the wackiest weddings any of our friends have enjoyed. It was welcoming, clean and comfortable with an excellent breakfast. We were able to eat late, essential as we had been partying until midnight but we were impressed that we could have eaten an early... More

Nice hotel, good location and very clean, but we felt it was overpriced. Decor is a bit bland and bed wasn't especially comfortable. Pillows were most uncomfortable we've ever had - like sleeping on blocks of concrete, but these were changed for us after the first night without any fuss. Our room, which had a distant view of the lake,... More
