Bathroom is tiny and difficult to use due to lack of space.

We had the most lovely two night stay. The Old Posting House has such a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Terry and Nicola made us feel very welcome from the minute go. The food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. Our room was lovely , bed very comfortable and everywhere spotlessly clean. Definitely on our list of Happy Places , look forward to visiting again 😊

It was like home from home, the hosts were so friendly, the room was spotless, beds were so comfortable with lovely bedding. Clean towels and toiletries. Fresh drinking water, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. Tv. The full english breakfast was superb. Best Bacon I've ever had.

Lovely room, big shower, easy entry even when the pub is shut. Lovely breakfast

The room got very light early in the morning due to the type of blinds, which meant we woke up quite early.

Lovely place to stay. Room was clean and spacious. Food delicious. Staff very helpful.

Unfortunately, we didnt prebook breakfast (which I havent found to be an issue at other venues). However, it was too late to book it when we asked in the evening - something to bear in mind when booking in future!

Very friendly and wecoming, good food. They checked in advance that we wanted dinner on arrival evening, which was great.

Nice place to stay but a little on the pricey side

Would have liked a fan in the room to help stay cool when weather is muggy.

Beds were comfortable and room was Very clean. Hosts were warm and friendly. Bedroom windows that open fully to let air in was amazing.

We like to sleep with the windows open for air. The only downside to the room that we stayed in was that it was on the front of the building, the road was very busy and noisy at times which kept us awake for long periods. However, this wouldn't stop up staying again. Would just ask for a different room. I'm just giving my honest opinion. Please don't let this stop you visiting. It's a beautiful place 😍

The food was amazing, the owners very friendly. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Everything you needed was supplied in the room. Will definitely be back.

The staff were very helpful, and everything about the room was perfect. Room service was available, even on Sunday. Good food was available every evening. Even though it rained a lot during our stay, it was lovely to visit this part of the Lake District which we did not know very well. Using our car, we enjoyed local walks and rock climbing.

Very wet weather whilst we were there and we could have done with a little heater no heating on.

Good Location Food good.

Could do with curtains in the bedroom as the blinds let all the light in.

The owners were super friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. Bed comfortable and room spacious.

Although the full English breakfast was nicely cooked with good ingredients, it did seem a bit expensive at £30. That was more than the price of most of the main courses of the evening meals. Perhaps throw in some black pudding, and fried bread etc and it wouldnt have seemed a bit expensive. Definitely wasnt a deal breaker, and I wasnt overly bothered, and is just my opinion.

Beautifully converted Old Posthouse. Very nice and spacious double bed room (I think it might have been the 'King Room') with a highly useful long shelf / desk, allowing one to unpack ones important things, and easily find them, rather than the usual case in most other similarly priced hotels of there not being enough room to put anything, and the endless rummaging through luggage as you cant find anything! The evening meals were good value as was the price fo the rooms, and the location is extremely handy for Ennerdale Water and the Buttermere valley and hills.

I love how it was old an old building yet very modern.

It was absolutely immaculate. The rooms were a big size.

Great friendly welcoming hosts. Had one of the most memorable dinners of our trip.

The bed was very, very soft, which unfortunately is not ideal for me, but still was quite comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful, but the cooked breakfast for vegetarians consisted of just tomatoes, mushrooms and baked beans (I don't eat eggs). In the summer it gets light around 4.30am. There were no curtains in our room, only vertical blinds which allowed in a lot of light. I recommend to take a sleeping/eye mask if you are wakened by light.

The bedroom was exceptionally clean. The shower cubicle glass was so clean it almost looked like there was nothing there! There were two lovely big armchairs in which to sit and read. The staff were very lovely and friendly. The evening meal was absolutely delicious.
