Ideally located for wainwright hikes, all the staff were welcoming and friendly, it is a dog friendly inn with a doggy menu, the rooms look like they have been recently renovated and give a modern yet rustic feel, the room was spacious and comfortable, a few areas that could do with a deeper clean / touching up but these were minor. The breakfast was good (the mushroom were a bit weird, unsure if they were tinned?), the evening meal options were tasty (especially the fish and chips!) and they had a great selection of pints. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend others to stay also.

The warm welcome the traditional inn,mixed with the modern utilities. The food was to live for all cooked with perfect precision The beer took me back in time ,when ales were ales. Had a wonderful stay and free breakfast full English cooked to a high standard with additional items on request.Stayed the weekend and how handy it was to the western llakes. We could pop in and out as we passed the routes to Glenridding , Ambleside, Coniston, Keswick, Grasmere and many other towns all within fifteen to thirty minutes. Big thanks to Nik and Al made our stay very welcoming and pleasurable.

The evening meal was absolutely excellent. Delicious, one of the best we’ve had in ages. We would definitely come back for the food. The couple running the place were also really good, so friendly and very welcoming. It is a good location between Penrith and Keswick, easily accessible yet quiet , no road noise. It was also a decent nights sleep. Good value for money.

Just a little bit shabby in the bedroom and probably needed a better clean (a few spiders webs in the bedroom and sone mould in the shower room) BUT it was comfortable and definitely well worth the money. Also only one piece of toast each at breakfast was a bit stingy, especially as we didn’t have any cereals etc.

The host, Nicole, was engaging and welcoming from the very start. The room met all expectations - very clean and comfortable. The bar area was cosy (log burner) and the locals and regulars were friendly and welcoming too. Co-host, Alan, clearly works hard to maintain his beer (and more) because the drinks were excellent. We booked a table for dinner before arrival (recommended) and the simple bar/restaurant menu did not disappoint. The food was beautifully prepared and wonderfully presented. Compliments to the Chef. The bedroom was very clean. The bed, comfortable. The en-suite was ample (clean too). Breakfast was pre-ordered in the evening and was ample and well prepared with drinks and toast. Absolutely no complaints or issues about our stay whatsoever. Will happily book again when next in the area.

There was nothing not to like.

Very quaint, cosy place to stay. The decor and furnishings were very in keeping with the property! The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, I love that dogs are welcomed at the property. We did not eat dinner at the Troutbeck however, the other diners dinner smelt incredible. Our breakfast was 10/10, plenty of choice and good quality ingredients! The bedroom was great, tastefully decorated and the bed was so comfy we did not want to get out in the morning. The bathroom was slightly dated, (this did not bother us at all!) but excellently clean, and warm. We loved everything about our stay and we will definitely be back.

Check out was earlier than we anticipated but not a real issue, just meant we got to see more of the day!

Absolutely gorgeous inn in the middle of the tiny village Troutbeck. The inn was cosy, warm and clean. Nikki and Alan were fantastic hosts who went above and beyond. There is great access to the surrounding areas and the views are breathtaking. The bar is well stocked, cheap and friendly and the food was really good. We will definitely be back, this is now our favourite place in the Lakes. 10/10

The location is fabulous & a great base for walking or visiting other localities in the area. Couldn’t fault the hosts or the staff, they are lovely & friendly & made us feel very welcome. We sampled the beer & the restaurant and wasn’t disappointed at all. Food lovely & full English breakfast delicious. Will definitely go back again. Also dog friendly accommodation…….fabulous.

Nothing to add

The setting and the scenery was lovely especially when it was raining at night and the log burners inside make it sound warming and the food and drinks are top notch the Guinness pie is quite a handful as is the big burger

Nothing everything was superb only snag I struggled to figure out how to switch the shower on and found a red switch on the wall in the room eventually ha ha and the plugs to charge your phone ,tablet etc could be more visible but these are nothing to complains about I will deffo return

The room was refurbished to a good standard and was quite comfortable and offered a lot of drawer and wardrobe storage. Breakfast was included and offered a choice of options and was very good. The location is very rural and a good base for visiting the Northern and Western Lake Districts. Very happy that the hotel was dog-friendly.

The bed was a small UK double size.

It is a beautiful tranquil place. Niki and Alan are great fun hosts creating a home from home experience. Lovely clean comfortable rooms and bed. Plenty of tea, coffee and biscuit top ups. A great cooked breakfast every morning if you wanted it or you can chose if you want something different. Fran, Simon and Chef (staff) all very obliging making our stay very homely and helped us decide where we were visiting by recommending places of interest. We had a great Sunday lunch in their restaurant and always busy so need to book. We ate in town as we were out most days visiting different areas but again you need to book otherwise you won’t get in to most places to eat. We drove to different areas then walked, I recommend you get to places early if you want to park as places get full quickly especially on Bank holiday weekends.
