What a gem of a place! From arrival at the Old Posting House, we were made to feel very welcome and that nothing was too much trouble. Our room was beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean and had a comfortable bed and an excellent shower! The evening meals were absolutely lovely (no complaints from any of us) and the breakfast (full english) was exceptional.
As we were out on the fells all day in the typical English weather (torrential rain in July!) somewhere to dry our wet clothes would have been a great addition. This did not detract from our stay though.

The breakfast was one of the best I have had in similar stays at other similar locations in the Lake District.It was cooked fresh to order by the owner Terry and served by his partner Nicola nothing was to much trouble.I also had an excellent evening meal . The bar was a very friendly place with the local customers mixing with use as we enjoyed a beer before the evening meal . Thanks again .
There was nothing not to like perhaps a little warmer in the bar but it was zero degrees outside. The whole premises are ultra clean, rooms and public areas well done .

The breakfast was well cooked and staff were flexible to individuals' choices. The evening meal was good - portions a bit too generous for me though. Our room was quiet at the rear of the property - it was lovely to hear the lambs bleating in the morning.
The property does not have a lounge. We were meeting up with a group of friends and whilst it was absolutely fine that the bar closed early (about 9pm most days), it would have been ideal if we could have met up as a group in a lounge area.

Excellent breakfast and evening meals added to the ambiance of the location.
The road alongside the property which our room overlooked suffered from vehicle noise. As it was exceptionally hot during our visit it meant that we could not have windows open to cool us as much as we liked. If the windows opened at the top, rather than at the bottom, it may have helped.

Very friendly and helpful staff, nice cooked breakfast, clean and comfortable room and a view over a field of sheep! The property accommodated our request for a room on the quiet side of the hotel which we appreciated very much.
Not sure if the water in the bathroom was drinking water so we had to keep asking for our jug to be topped up

This was our third stay so we knew what to expect - comfortable, quiet room, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The staff are brilliant, the bar/restaurant area is cosy and has a very friendly atmosphere. Breakfasts are excellent and evening meals are similarly high standard.
Not a dislike at all but the portions provided for the well prepared and presented main courses were so generous that it was difficult to save enough room to try the excellent sweet course choices.

The OPH is always spotlessly clean and fresh. Nicola and Terry are welcoming hosts at this country inn which is enjoyed by visitors and locals alike. The food in the restaurant is a delightful change from the usual pub fare, well cooked, plentiful and beautifully presented.

Breakfast was great, location was ideal for visiting various sites. Hosts were very friendly and helpful
Was only told the day before we were due to arrive that they were closed on a Wednesday but the lady kindly booked us in for an evening meal at another nearby restaurant/ pub which was very enjoyable.
