Cosy Pooley Bridge Inn

Helen made us feel very welcome. Lovely room which had a bath ! Good choice of food on the menu and two open fires to get cosy around. Very nice breakfast to set us up for the day, we would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location, convenient base for short Ullswater stay. Staff mostly great and welcoming, rooms very clean, corridors and paintwork showing wear and many scuffs. Room tea coffee facilities excellent, evening meal was very average and probably over priced. Breakfast, service and overall environment lovely and excellent service. Set us up well for the day and one of the nicest breakfasts I've had. Would definitely consider a return stay when in Ullswater.

Nice stay, good service

Good service from staff, lovely pub, cute and cosy room. Could do with a small shower screen on bath so shower can be used more effectively and somewhere in bathroom to put toiletries - otherwise great, good cooked breakfast

Great pub hotel

Wonderful stay. We booked it to break up a trip back home from the Highlands in Scotland. We were welcomed on arrival with a quick check in and then we had a lovely walk round the lake. The food was lovely and the drinks well priced. Wednesday night was quiz night which we really enjoyed. Breakfast in the morning was lovely. We will definitely stay again.

Beautiful, near perfect, hotel.

The hotel is lovely and the rooms are well appointed and beautifully clean. The tea tray was excellent. Food in the restaurant is amazing. The two reasons that it wasn't 5* is because the bathroom blind was missing and there was no cover in the bathroom. My teenage daughters found this uncomfortable. In the restaurant the gentleman who greeted us was rather intense. He was clinical in his approach. It felt uncomfortable. I will undoubtedly return.

Lovely place, helpful friendly staff, good breakfast and a nice room. Only downside is the ensuite which although very nice is on the small side. Very dog friendly and the area is good for walking.

Simply amazing

Pooley Bridge is one of my favourite places on earth. I've been going since 1982 and on that occassion I had a pint or two in the Pooley Bridge Inn. I've stayed before here and it's great to know that it's still as fabulous as it's alwasy been. Room was beautiful, balcony was lovely to have. Food is outstanding, the staff are all so helpful and full of joy. It has such a positive vibe, fills you with energy and also relaxes too. 10 out of 10
