    The cozy bar with an open fire was the perfect end to our day.

    The predictable menu lacked exciting options for adventurous eaters.

    early breakfast

    We had a delightful stay amongst beautiful surroundings. The evening meal was superbly cooked and offered interesting options beyond standard fare, and breakfast was a generous start to our day. The charming old inn atmosphere, complete with a log fire, made our experience truly cozy and inviting.

    cosy atmosphere
    musical chairs room change

    Absolutely loved the stunning views and the cosy atmosphere here! My room was super comfortable and I appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities. Perfect for a lovely countryside getaway with walks right from the doorstep!

    But really, who needs a TV when the Wi-Fi barely works, right? A bit eccentric to change rooms every night—great for a game of musical chairs!

    Charming Stay with Room for Improvement

    Our two-night stay was delightful. Cozy double room with scenic views and friendly staff made us feel welcome. Enjoyed hearty traditional meals which truly hit the spot. For future guests, consider requesting a late breakfast time for a more relaxed start to your day.

    Couple getaway, worth it

    We were treated like royalty. The meal at the restaurant was just excellent! Everything was cooked perfectly and the menu had some real unique and interesting choices. That bar with the open fire? Just a classic. I mean, it felt like home, you know. Really cozy atmosphere.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but worth every penny.

    cozy bar
    unreliable wifi
    faulty shower

    Cozy bar with log fires.

    The shower was either freezing or scalding hot, making it impossible to enjoy a comfortable wash. The Wi-Fi was practically non-existent in our room, which was frustrating as it was advertised. we felt a lack of warmth from the staff, who were rather businesslike during our entire stay.

    The Kirkstile Inn in Loweswater provided a charming stay with cozy rooms and stunning views of the countryside. The food impressed me with its quality, although the enforced room change during my two-night stay felt a bit disruptive. A lovely bar to unwind after a long day.
