Good service from staff, lovely pub, cute and cosy room. Could do with a small shower screen on bath so shower can be used more effectively and somewhere in bathroom to put toiletries - otherwise great, good cooked breakfast

Wonderful stay. We booked it to break up a trip back home from the Highlands in Scotland.
We were welcomed on arrival with a quick check in and then we had a lovely walk round the lake. The food was lovely and the drinks well priced. Wednesday night was quiz night which we really enjoyed.
Breakfast in the morning was lovely. We will definitely stay again.

Beautiful location, very nice pub and hotel. Usually these kinds of establishments are old and scrappy but this one exceeded my expectations

Stayed for two nights DDB all the staff were friendly and helpful. The Room was clean and comfortable. Nice size shower, could have done with a shower mat in the shower. The room was a nice size and was neve cold always a nice temperature. Nice touch with the fresh milk kept in a little fridge on the landing for your teas and coffee. Will definitely stay again

The hotel is lovely and the rooms are well appointed and beautifully clean. The tea tray was excellent. Food in the restaurant is amazing.
The two reasons that it wasn't 5* is because the bathroom blind was missing and there was no cover in the bathroom. My teenage daughters found this uncomfortable.
In the restaurant the gentleman who greeted us was rather intense. He was clinical in his approach. It felt uncomfortable.
I will undoubtedly return.

Lovely place, helpful friendly staff, good breakfast and a nice room. Only downside is the ensuite which although very nice is on the small side. Very dog friendly and the area is good for walking.

Pooley Bridge is one of my favourite places on earth. I've been going since 1982 and on that occassion I had a pint or two in the Pooley Bridge Inn. I've stayed before here and it's great to know that it's still as fabulous as it's alwasy been. Room was beautiful, balcony was lovely to have. Food is outstanding, the staff are all so helpful and full of joy. It has such a positive vibe, fills you with energy and also relaxes too. 10 out of 10

The accommodation an breakfast facilities were excellent, no facility to have a drink at the bar, no chairs, in fact manager discouraged anyone just having a drink, bar is geared up for supplying food for diners only, I sat at an empty table near the rear back door and was moved on by the manager. Location of the Inn was excellent. We ate and drank at the venue opposite which was more welcoming.
