Loved the cozy pub vibes. We got a suite and it was spacious and comfortable. Lovely staff. Great location. Newly refurbed bathroom was lovely too.

Our suite was above the entrance to the pub and having had a long day walking we wanted an early night and I hadn’t considered when booking that we were staying above a pub and there May be noise (silly me). And yes there was quite a bit of noise but it was a Saturday night and was quiet by about 11 so I can’t complain. Other minor issue was the bathroom itself was a good size but the shower cubicle felt really small. Me and my boyfriend are both fairly small people so no issues but anyone larger than us I think might’ve had a problem getting in and shutting the door.

Beautiful location with stunning views. The staff were fantastic, made us feel so welcome. Fabulous food available throughout the day (I would recommended booking a table to avoid disappointment) plenty of choice for both breakfast and evening meals. Our room was in the salutation accommodation. It was a lovely size with plenty of space. Easily accessible to Keswick by bus if you don’t want to drive, with the bus stop right outside the Carpark of the Horse and Farrier. Plenty of walking locations if that’s what you are looking for, the Threlkeld Rail Trail walk to Keswick only a short distance away.

I wouldn’t say we didn’t like it however the bathroom is on the small size but liveable for a few days stay

Visited for valentines weekend, food was exceptional (the lamb and duck specials were Devine), service was excellent and nothing was too much! Room on the smaller side but plenty for us and cosy, great heating and nice and warm in the dining room and bedroom on a cold weekend. Breakfast very delicious and allowed order modifications. Also popped to the salutation inn across the road, cosy spot for a drink and while we didn’t eat them the pizzas looked great. A perfect base for exploring the northern and western lakes

The room could do with a lick of paint to freshen up, but cost and clean nonetheless (and we did visit in the off peak season where that might not have been the main priority- we were very thrilled with the heating especially given how much it costs now!)

The room was clean and the bathroom looked lovely. The pub served excellent food and drink. The staff were extremely accommodating when we explained we wanted to nip out for sunrise! (The building wouldn’t be unlocked until after 7). The breakfast was delicious and was free in the cost of the room (already a great price!).

The room smelled of bleach on entry, we opened the bedroom window which fixed it. We tried for a small nap before we went out for evening drinks but there were people in a work space outside our bedroom window swearing heavily to each other - maybe contractors? They seemed to be working and not drinkers. They were gone soon enough but we ended up closing the window. We weren’t bothered enough to say anything and it hasn’t affected our opinion of the stay. I would request next time though ventilation after cleaning and a quieter room.

Room was very comfortable and cosy and we appreciated the dog bowls in our room. The food and service at the Horse & Farrier was exceptional and we ate there every night. I would recommend reserving a table in advance as it’s very popular (especially if you have a dog as they’re not able to use all areas of the pub). We didn’t realise our breakfast was included which was a massive bonus as it was amazing! Thank you for a lovely stay and making us feel so welcome :)

We stayed at the Salutation Inn with our dog but we didn’t realise we needed to check in at the Horse & Farrier who manage all the accommodation. This wasn’t a problem as the properties are only about 50m apart.

The inn is ideally located in a small village of Threlkeld, which is a stone’s throw from Keswick. The backdrop of the northern fell of Blencathra adds to an atmosphere of other worldly. The inn is a classic with lower ceilings, beams, thick walls and warmth from the burning logs in the fireplace. The space is one thing, but it is the people who make it and the staff of the inn do so in a kind Cumbrian way; attentive, efficient and knowledgeable. Our room suited us perfectly with a shower en-suite that worked well. We enjoyed most of our meals at the inn. We ate breakfast there on each of the three mornings we stayed and we had choices to meet all our needs. We also ate our evening meals with two of them close to the roaring fireplace. As a proper pub, there were a range of local ales that more than satisfied. we really were looked after on all fronts. The inn is located away from the main road to Keswick, and there is ample parking for patrons.

The staff were all so friendly and helpful, they made our stay great. The breakfast was also good with a selection of cereal/yoghurt and mini pastries on offer as well as hot breakfast too. The room was small but comfy and all you need for a few nights. Amazing location at the foot of Blencathra, ideal for exploring the lakes.

The extractor fan in the bathroom leaked/dripped quite a lot making the bathroom floor wet but this didn't affect our stay! Bathroom was slightly small but for the price we still thought our stay was excellent value for money.

Very comfortable large bed, we had a excellent night sleeps. Room was lovely and warm on arrival. Good size bathroom with a lovely shower over bath. Very good breakfast, lovely bacon and sausages.

Just some minor things that could be easily sorted. Deep clean the inside of the radiator, it was very dusty. The bathroom door squeaked, annoying in the night, just needs oiling. The push in bath plug did not form a seal, so let the water out when closed so could not have a bath which was disappointing after a long walk.

Staff friendly, food delicious, very dog friendly, comfortable super kingsize bed and a lovely quiet area. Tea and coffee facilities with biscuits. Treats for your dog and also eating and drinking bowls. Clean white bedding, TV, and toiletries in the bathroom. Lovely view of the mountains.

The ensuite bathroom in the room (rm 2 in salutation inn) it's a bit snug to the point you could literally wash your hands while sitting on the toilet, not much room at all. 🤦‍♀️ you need to leave the door open to wash and if you're a bigger built person you would definitely struggle using the bathroom.

Freshly cooked breakfast was excellent. Quirky layout in room meant granddaughter aged 9 years had her own bedroom area, up two stairs, slightly partitioned from the adults and her own tv which she loved. Salutation pub was cozy on a rainy night, we didn’t have to go out the building to go to room.

No coat hooks on back of bedroom door for wet coats to hang. Wardrobes have hanging space but no drawers for sweaters etc. En suite is a squeeze, very little space to put toilet bags and hang damp towels for three people. Also have to sit sideways on the toilet due to wash basin overhanging toilet. Minor issues, en suite quite irritating, didn’t spoil our stay, but first two could be solved easily.
