"This review is strictly about the stay above the Inn only. Unfortunately we have not had a great stay and would not recommend booking here either. We’ve stayed from Tuesday to Wednesday and been informed ahead about the Inn being shut on these days so self check in is required which wasn’t a problem. Check in time is at 4pm but you’re advised to fill in your “breakfast forms” and drop them in before 9pm which retains you to a 5hr check in window which is worth keeping in mind if you’re getting there late. Picking up the keys and locating the Inn overall was easy. However, we were met with a stone cold room with no heating. After spending 10mins there our fingers were so cold it was hard to press buttons on the phone! Even though we’ve switched on the electric heater as soon as we got there, the room wasn’t an acceptable temperature probably until it was the time to check out. This was really shocking considering the area was experiencing temperatures as low as -7 at night when we’ve stayed! Speaking of the room, although the hallways are nicely done up, the room needs attention. The corner of the bathroom had mould all over it. Dust was everywhere, cobwebs on the windows and corners of the ceiling. Cracks in the walls. Electric socket was broken behind the wall to the point where the insides of it were exposed (see photos). Breakfast was lovely and the landlady did seem very polite which is the only thing that brings me to rate this more than one star. Dining room was cold and the ceiling was holding a big “balloon” of water from an apparent leak above. Rooms: 1 Service: 2 Location: 4"

"Firstly the food was really lovely and tasty. The black pudding and the Brie starters were delicious. The steak pie was amazing and they were happy to give extra gravy we requested. The crime brûlée and sticky toffee pudding was also delicious. However have given it only 3 stars due to the service. We were seated quickly and drink order and food order taken quickly. We waited about 15 minutes for the starters which was fine, but the main meals did not arrive until 2045 which was over an hour after we finished the starters. We did mention the food was lovely but the wait for service was too long to be told very defensively “well, we are very busy and the chef cooks everything from scratch”. There were only four tables including us there and no table had more than 6 people, so not that busy. Have been to other pubs where everything is cooked from scratch and did not wait like this. It is a shame because the food was good and all they need to do is improve the service to get 5 stars."

"Stayed overnight at the H and F in their dog friendly accommodation 'The Salutation Inn ' across the road from the pub hotel. Dog friendly room was spacious with bowls and bed area for the dog and large double bed with large plasma tv for our comfort. Tea and coffee facilities including biscuits. Room was very clean and neatly furnished. Dinner and breakfast across the road at the Horse and farrier pub had facility to include your dog on non carpeted dining area and staff were welcoming and professional. Food was excellent nd service very efficient . Would definitley recommend this to others- perfect for walkers, close to Keswick and you can take your dog."

""This is an excellent restaurant in the area, featuring a great selection of food and ales. I tried the Cumberland sausage meal, which was delicious, and my wife enjoyed an excellent salmon dish. However, I have to mention that the prices are quite high, especially considering that Keswick, just six miles away, offers similar meals for half the price. Don't get me wrong; I really enjoyed the experience and would consider returning.""
