Patterdale Hotel

This was an excellent location and was very good value for money. All the staff were really helpful and made this a very enjoyable stay. The quality of the food was very good.

The only downside was on our first night we were sat at the centre tables and these were very close to the couples either side so we didn't have any privacy. The tables on the outer walls were much better.

Superb location, extremely friendly staff, excellent meals, lovely ambience within the hotel - loved all the photographs and pictures in all the rooms and corridors and very warm facilities in spite of bitterly cold, snowy weather.

Only criticism is we would have liked a shower or at least a shower attachment to the bath for hair washing.

The service and friendliness of the staff was superb! Meals were excellent and served efficiently and politely. Staff on reception were professional and informative. Father Christmas (+ presents!) were a lovely surprise!!

The age of the hotel meant that the floorboards were somewhat noisy and with the bed being very close to the bedroom door, we did feel as though other guests were walking into our room!! Otherwise great!! Also no "employee of the month" to reward excellent service from your staff!
