My wife and I stayed here with our (adult) daughter during August this year on our way back south from Scotland. We had originally booked to stay at another hotel in the area which didn't come anywhere close to our standards, and rang hoping for a night's stay. The owners not only had the two rooms we required but also... More

It may help potential guests to evaluate this review if I explain that this guest was angry because I refused to waive our late cancellation policy. He was extremely rude on check in and continued in this manner throughout his stay. We know that the provision of room facilities was not deficient since we did extra quality checks in his... More

I think that there are a couple of individual features about this hotel to note; both could be seen as either positive or negative depending on your perspective. 1) The evening meal arrangements: if you take an evening meal you are presnted with the menu at breakfast and make a selection from 4/5 starters and 3 main courses - all...

Thank you for your review and your wife’s very kind comments in the guest book about our food and ambiance. We try to take improvement points from all reviews and so far as our food is concerned, particularly our Michelin commended dinners you seem to be very happy for yourself but worried that other guests with different perspectives might be...

This is a wonderful Inn to use as your home base to explore the North Lakes Area and within an easy commute to the South Lakes. We arrived frustrated and fatigued from our first experience of driving on the other side of the road (Yanks) from Penrith train station. We were met by Malcolm who offered kind words of understanding,... More

Thank you so much for your kind review. We hope you have forgiven the Lake District for the weather you experienced whilst at Lairbeck. At present we have a mini 'Indian Summer'! Still we know you 'got out there' and experienced some of the breathtaking beauty of the Lakes (even in the rain). Along with the Brits & the Australians... More

What a pleasant surprise when we entered this hotel. We were wary at first when we saw the " 2 Star " rating of the hotel. I think this hotel deserve a five star rating. The rooms are decorated for royalty and are huge in comparison to other hotels we stayed in. The owner and host was exceptionally pleasant and... More

Pleasant enough but we were expecting something a bit more impressive for the price. The food is like good home cooking but nothing to 'oooh' and 'ahhhh' about. The gardens are pretty. The interior could use an update but that is not to say there was anything wrong with it. i think 3 stars/average is fair. More

Perhaps there was something we could have done to improve the experience for you? We can assure you that we will be continuing to... More

This was our second stay here for 4 nights - even better than our first! Malcolm, Jennifer and Karen go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay - nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are all different with lovely views and very comfy beds! It's lovely and quiet yet only 10 mins walk from the town.... More

The Lairbeck consistently gives high quality service, accommodation and dining, morning and evening.We have used it frequently over the past 10 years and will be coming for the next 10 if they maintain their service quality at its present standard of excellence, better than a lot of major brand hotels that we have stayed in!!
