“Excellent Meal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

Another excellent meal at the Brook House. A very warm welcome by one and al and the 'snug' was lovely and warm on a cold winter's night. The garlic mushrooms were one of the best tasted, sirlion steak with mustard sauce was lovely and tender and the scallops with potato cakes, leeks and bacon were just divine, I could eat it all again now. Puddings of apricot bread and butter pudding, raspberry meringues and the treacle sponge pudding were demolished really quickly. Our friends who have been wanting to come to the Brook House were really impressed and we will all be back soon, thank you all.

“Our Gold standard in the Lakes”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

We have been visiting Brook House on and off for the last 12 or so years, and although we sometimes stay in other parts of the Lakes, we regularly return to Brook House. We always get a great welcome, are extremely well fed (Gareth's cooking is our "gold standard" by which we rate all other restaurants) and are well looked after. The second time we visited, way back, I was ill over the weekend and confined to bed for two days, and all the staff were helpful and attentive. This year we visited with our grown up children and their partners- the best holiday we have had for ages, and the comment from them was-" we can see why you keep coming back."

“Sad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed two nights. Whilst Brook House is efficiently run it lacks atmosphere. The staff were professional, polite, attentive but totally disinterested in the customer which is the opposite to the recently refurbished Woolpack up the road. Sadly the attitude seems to stem from the owners themselves who were recently back from their own holidays, I hope they received better customer service whilst they were away! The nearby Boot Inn was very welcoming too. We loved the area but will be staying elsewhere when we return, hopefully very soon.

“One of my favourite places”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

Having stayed all over the Lake District, this has to be one of my favourite place's.
I have stayed here on four occasions now with a group of old School friends, and also on a separate trip with two of my children, in a family room

The setting, and location is great for walking, the accommodation is good, and looking forward to the evening meal every time I stay.

I will continue to visit, and cannot recommend enough

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

Stayed for three nights dinner b&b and we loved it. The room was clean and comfortable, the ensuite recently refurbished and very modern. Free wifi access was handy as mobile signal in Eskdale is hit and miss. The service was personal and friendly and all the meals were great - great choice, great value, superbly presented. The inn is great for walks from the doorstep, visiting the Eskdale railway and much more. We would love to return.

Room Tip: Phone the Inn for a personal service
