The Ennerdale Country House Hotel ‘A Bespoke Hotel’

The location was great for visiting West Cumbria. Evening menu varied, good quality, tasty and not too expensive. Breakfast buffet and choice of cooked fayre. The dog loved the grounds,the breakfast sausage, and all the attention from the staff. Direct access from the hotel room into the grounds also made life easier with the dog.

We arrived before official check-in time and they were lovely and let us check in - as we'd been walking on the Coast-to-coast trail and were hot and tired. The room was lovely, with a door out onto the garden, the weather was a little too cool to have it open, but I appreciated the view. The decor in the room was fine, but a little tired in the bar area (as others have said), I don't think this detracted as it is a lovely old building and it helped me feel more comfortable in my walking gear. We enjoyed the bar area a lot, and some guests were sitting in the nice garden for drinks. Dinner was fabulous and the staff were busy but very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was one of the best we had.

The staff were welcoming after our first tiring and very warm day on the Coast to Coast. The rooms were an oasis of cool and comfort. And there was a bath for my aching legs. Good food in a beautifully grand dining room and a garden where we toasted our first day and watched the sun go down.

Relaxing atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Food good 👍 😋. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of hot water with good pressure from the shower. We had lovely weather, so we made good use of the tranquil gardens. Our dog was made welcome.

Location was extremely quiet, which is what we required. I am a support worker and took a service user for his holiday. This was his first stay in an hotel. The staff were all excellent but especially Jackie and Rachel. Without prior knowledge they recognised John’s difficulties and adapted to his needs incredibly well. Nothing was too much trouble making our stay not only excellent but perfect. Thank you.
