Set in the mountains of patterdale what an absolute gem of a find, straight away upon riding our motorbike to the b and b we pulled up got a beer from the outside bar set next to a river then was shown to our room( found out we had been upgraded free of charge) we was in the ullswater room absolutely spotless the TV could do with being a bit bigger than a postage stamp but don't let this put you off the owners are literally the best we have ever come across we was shown around the premises and then inside the bar and lounge area where there is a rule of if no staff you serve yourself from a varied selection of alcohol and non alcoholic beverages and snacks upon you have to be honest and write on said piece of paper room and beverages taken.there was also a TV lounge with a selection of games also.breakfast is served between 8 and 9 am where there's a selection of cereal yoghurts and fruit juices then the full English where you choose from any 5 items and we can honestly say the breakfast was a 10 out of 10 staying here is a must for us again judge it for yourself

We loved the location,it was excellent for local walks etc. The property itself is very well maintained and caters extremely well for walkers having a drying room and thoughtful mats for muddy shoes and boots alike. Our bedroom was a lovely double with a view over the beck and also had a single bed which was ideal. Ensuite attached with powerful modern shower. The owners are very attentive and recommended ideal places for us to eat. There is a well stocked honesty bar downstairs and a lovely separate sitting room with TV, board games and a whole multitude of books. Breakfast was cooked to order and was plentiful. They can also you a packed lunch if required. Great place and good value for money.

Perhaps more light in the bedroom would be beneficial. Everything else was excellent.

This is a lovely place to stay. The location is stunning. We were made to feel welcome & the owner gave us lots of local information & places to eat. The room was clean, comfortable and warm. The view amazing. The shower was powerful and the bathroom clean and modern. Everything worked and fitted to a high standard. There was a good choice for breakfast, and cooked to perfection, with a stunning array of local jams and marmalades. The owner was most helpful and even let us park our car for the morning after we checked out so we could go on a cycle ride and let us change out of our wet clothes on our return. Would highly recommended a stay at Old Water View 😊

Nothing, it was all great.

Lovely position, some superb views, with large room in a well appointed hotel/guest house. The staff/owners were efficient polite, helpful, and attentive. Breakfast was well cooked and had good quality ingredients. There were libraries of books related to Lakeland walking etc, and also of modern fiction books available for guests. There is a very pleasant outdoor seating area at the rear, with outdoor bar serving drinks, and basic food (baked potatoes). The shower was very pleasant. There is a boot room for walkers. There is an indoor bar with fruit, chocolate bars, and crisps available 24/7 (you sign up if you buy out of hours).

The lack of a seat in the room was unhelpful. There was no central light, and the bedside /table lights were barely suitable for reading by. You have to ask for handtowels, as they are not automatically supplied. Stupidly large key fob, that is so long you have to keep it in a bag, as sitting down with it in your trouser pocket is uncomfortable. Single bed was a bit lumpy.

The breakfast was very well organised with a suitable range. The bar/snug was excellent, warm and welcoming The hosts were excellent making the stay a very pleasant experience The location was good for exploring the area

There was very little not to like The plug sockets in the room were an interesting mixture, and using the hairdryer required a few contortions.

Our stay was brilliant. Our hosts could not have been more helpful, friendly and accommodating, we were able to request sandwiches for our lunches. The property was very homely and clean. Loved the lounges and the breakfast room. The honesty bar was very unique and so nice to have as you did not feel you needed to stay out to have drink especially after a long day walking. Drying room facilities were excellent and well used as weather was very wet! Our breakfast was excellent too.

Nothing.

The B&B is in a lovely location, quiet and leafy but close to Patterdale. The owners are friendly and around when you need them. The room we had was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic, local produce and home made jams. We were in the area for a wedding and left feeling like we'd been on holiday because our stay here was so good. We couldn't fault anything and would definitely recommend. We're hoping to be able to come back again in future.

Nothing, everything was fantastic! Thank you

We initially booked Old Water View because we were doing the Lakeland Trail events over the weekend in Glenridding. It was a great choice as it was very close but also a lovely place to stay. The room was really warm and comfortable and everything was very well maintained. The hotel has a nice little bar and lounge area they also have an outside bar but as it was October we didn’t get to sample this. The availability of a drying room was great as it was pretty wet on the Saturday when we were running. It was also very helpful that we could get an early breakfast as we were setting off for the race early on Sunday. We will definitely come again especially as we want to try out the bar in summer!

Nothing

This place is steeped in Wainwright history so is a perfect place to stay is your doing the Coast to Coast or any other walking in the area. The beds a comfortable, the rooms are big and the view from our window was gorgeous. The owners are delightful and extremely helpfuland the honesty bar was an added bonus.

Very clean and cozy room. The staff were brilliant and so accommodating after a very long and tough day battling horrible weather on the coast to coast. I felt instantly calmer and relaxed upon arrival and after I sat down for a beer in front of the fire. I was so looked after. Thank you!

The shower wasn't super powerful but it's to be expected I guess with the location, it wasn't a problem though and still very warm.
