"Stopped for dinner. Wish we hadn’t. Food was terrible and overpriced. Chips cooked in oil well past its best. Infact, the vast majority of the food was greasy and looked like it had seen nothing but the deep fat fryer. I could go on about the sticky floors etc but I’ll just leave it as AVOID."

"Stayed here for one night and got room 6. The bar seemed very quiet when we arrived a Member off staff behind the bar greeted us checked us in and lead us to the main stairs explained where our room was and we were good to go. The place could definitely do with some work and an update but for the price it did the job fine. Could be quite noisy as I could hear talking in the hall way and people outside the pub. But for our stay it was okay. Tea and coffee in room with kettle but no milk."

"Late booking for Scafell Pike trip. Helpful staff on phone to accommodate our late arrival. Good breakfast. Room perfectly fine for our one night stay. Very good price."

"Well the hotel Well apartment should i call it was ok clean and tidy and ok for the 2 nights that we were there anyway. 3 bulbs were not working in 2 lamps and the bedroom roof bulb was dim and flickering also the iron wasn't working and the hot water took an age to come from the tap and shower 😳 other than that ok."

"We stayed here after climbing Scafell Pike, the location is great for this. Our 5 star rating comes from the really friendly and welcoming team that made our stay so good. We had dinner there which was lovely, breakfast was included and also very nice. We felt very looked after from start to finish. We were in a road facing room, I’m not sure if it was the climb or the bed but I slept like a log all night! Room was definitely tired and the decor was not perfect and had damages in places but absolutely did not affect our stay. Would stay again and do recommend."

"Highly recommend YHA Wasdale its in a excellent location for exploring the surrounds of Wastwater Lake . The reception was exceptional and everyone was very helpful, the accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the food was great too!! I would like to thank Donna, Tenzin and Emma and rest of the staff for making my stay comfortable."

"We travelled to this hotel mainly because we had a voucher for the Ravenglass Steam and afternoon tea bought for us a Christmas gift and so we wanted to stay nearby the train experience. Myself and my husband rarely get an opportunity to steal a night away from our busy working lives and be ourselves without the kids in tow. We were travelling from Manchester so it was a very long but incredibly scenic drive along the A roads to the hotel. We were aware of time constraints and phoned ahead during our journey down for our pre scheduled dining time to be pushed along. This occurred twice due to unexpected traffic and the staff had no issues with this at all, to our relief. We arrived at such a peaceful, tranquil and welcoming hotel. The staff were so very polite and genuinely friendly people. Lovely people to talk with but never overbearing. We decided to spoil ourselves and book a suite since we rarely get a night off or away from the constraints of life. Wow! this room did not disappoint. It was huge and very traditionally tastefully furnished which was in keeping with the hotel itself. The leaded sash windows and quaint plush window seat was an extra special touch. Also the the beautiful dressing table with the ornate triple mirror being placed next to the natural light coming from this area is an added bonus for us ladies. The bed was comfortable and sprawling. This room could easily accommodate an extra bed or travel cot with still plenty of space to spare. That said it was very warm and we felt the room would defintely benefit from a mini fridge ( maybe placed in the cabinet under the hospitality tray). Also a fan to keep the room feeling fresh would be helpful. The dinning room is peaceful and restful and never felt rushed. We spoke to a lovey waitress called Carol. She is a lovely lady, always smiling and helpful. She talked us through a quality well considered menu and we felt she was so attentive. Thanks Carol for your efforts. ( not sure here about childrens choices we never asked since we we were on a couples night) The food was delicious, fresh and piping hot. Presented to a very high standard. Finally on ordering desserts the chef delivered these, which was a refreshing change, Never usually get to see a chef! He is a lovely guy with a clear passion for cooking fresh cuisine presented to a professional standard. Our meal both pleased the eye and our palette equally. We left pleasantly satisfied and very relaxed The grounds were immaculately kept with plenty of seating. Which included a shaded small gazebo area and walking opportunities with a free natural stream nearby Again so peaceful and tranquil Thanks to all your welcoming staff that helped make our stay memorable pampered and special Mr and Mrs Seager"

"Second visit here. I ordered exactly the same dish as before, with the hope that it would be as good - it most certainly was! the steak pie and mash. More steak than you'd expect and bathed in the most scrumptious gravy. My 'friend' had the lasagne and said "its the best I've tasted". As a conisure of such a dish, his word is to be believed. Food arrived hot, well presented and a generous amount. At around £16 per meal, we thought that it was good value for money. I'm going to have the lasagne next time...or maybe the steak pie again. Difficult choice. Richard was a polite and friendly server and the chef...just...mmmm."
