My husband surprised me with a two night stay on February 10th and 11th 2012 for our wedding anniversary, when we arrived at the hotel only then did I discover that it opened it's doors to muddy boots and dogs. We presumed ( wrongly ) that it implied the animals were welcome in the bar with their owners. This we... More

We passed the Cuckoo Inn on our way to a nearby car park for 6hrs of walking. On our return we noticed the sign stated outside, muddy boots and wet dogs, do we popped in. Lovely clean bar, double sided fire place roaring away and very friendly staff, even the Chef had a joke with us. Food was prompt, hot... More

The recently refurbished hotel has comfortable rooms with good facilities and is ideally placed for exploring the Lakes. A warm welcome, log fires, a friendly bar, good food and helpful staff enhanced my stay. Recommended. More

This hotel has changed hands and is not what it used to be. Gone is the lovely friendly welcome that walkers used to get.

Really enjoyed our long weekend here. It's not at all what we were expecting from such a reasonable deal and from a hotel that welcomes muddy boots & wet dogs (doesnt smell like it welcomes dogs thankfully) :-) Warm and friendly welcome in a nice log fired room. The rooms were what impressed us most though. Very un-lake district. Light... More
