Patterdale Hotel

Stunning views from the hotel more than make up for unorthodox service. When I went to the restaurant for my evening meal I was 5-10 minutes EARLY for my table, however they seemed to have a lot of spare tables that a party of one could use. I was welcomed by a waiter and explained I was early. He took a rather large sigh, made a point of checking his watch and told me to wait until he prep'd a table. Once I was sat I started to look at the menu and a very polite lady asked me what I would like to order. She took the order and disappeared before I could order any drinks. I got another waiters notice for a drink but he told me he couldn't take my order and someone else will be coming to do that. My food shot out of the kitchen so fast I had hardly buttered my bread roll. I was half way through my main when I was finally able to order a drink. Food was nice but clearly prepared buffet style... which wasn't a problem as it was involved in the room price. Wifi was terrible but to be expected for area.

This is our second stay at The Patterdale and we will be back again. The staff are excellent and the food lovely. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Definitely value for money.

This hotel has a rating of a 2 star but i would rate it more as a 3 star. The rooms are clean, comfortable and warm and although not super modern are not out dated. The service throughout our stay was excellent. From the check in to dinner service the staff were incredibly polite, friendly and helpful and we even had our room cleaned even though we only stayed 2 nights. The breakfast quality was excellent and the three course evening meal was fantastic with excellence choice and perfect service. The hotel location is excellent with many local walks from the hotel and next to the bus stop. The free parking is also great.

Excellent value for money. We booked a deluxe double room and got a clean,comfy room with beautiful views.Attentive, friendly staff. Three course evening meal and breakfast included in the price. £94 for us both. To top it all they had evening entertainment which was superb.Would definitely go back.

Enjoyed a two night stay with good weather and excellent walking opportunities. We found the staff friendly and helpful; the food and service were all good. Hope to return.
