“Not for couples, nothing like website...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I have stayed at this "pub" years ago its in good location in centre of Windermere. I thought hubby and I would see what the new style "Ruskins" provided as it looked very stylish on the website.Wrong, my first concern was the manager standing with a roll up in hand smoking just inside the pub door, followed by the smell of stale beer, and dirty floors...
The bedroom was up three flights of stairs, fairly decent size. The bathrom was very small with a shower, the shower door was hanging off, the suround was filthy and the shower head very dirty.... the Bed was low, the teddy bear and one chocolate on the bed did not distract that the walls were stained .... We chose not to stay there.

Nice clean rooms, very friendly staff. £65.00 for the night including the dog and lovely big breakfast. Really handy for exploring the shops and the lake would go again.

“Highly recommended - great breakfast, great rooms & great people”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2011

Just had a fantastic weekend at Ruskin´s. From the moment we arrived the staff couldnt do enough for us, directing us to the free parking round the corner from the accommodation. It was clear that the rooms have benefitted from a recent upgrade and we were treated to a massive kingsize bed (at no extra charge).

They serve a range of cask conditioned ales which went down well with hubby and I can highly recommend the Thai Restaurant opposite (Thai Brasserie) where we had a fantastic meal.

To round off our stay we were treatred to a mega full English which was clearly cooked freshly to order with no hint of some of the dried up items you sometimes get in the large chain hotels. Bacon, egg,sausage, mushrooms,beans black pudding,tomatio and hash brown = I dont think Ive missed anything off.

All in all a fantastic stay and great value - we will certainly be staying here again.
