Pros

The Crag Bar serves a vegetarian and vegan menu with large portions, praised by guests.

The hotel is dog-friendly and welcomes pets, with a cozy bar atmosphere.

The owner and staff are frequently noted for being friendly and accommodating.

Rooms are clean and have comfortable beds, as highlighted in guest reviews.

Cons

The bar's menu is exclusively vegetarian, which may not suit meat-eaters.

Some guests have reported that the rooms can feel cold, with limited heating in bathrooms.

“The quiet rural setting, with Walla Grag right behind, presents truly remarkable mountain vistas, even stretching to Keswick and Derwentwater. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, focusing on comfort with exceptionally cozy beds, while the on-site bar and restaurant prove a delightful surprise, especially for those seeking vegetarian and vegan options. It's a place that genuinely feels welcoming, making it a fine retreat after a day exploring the surroundings.”
