Nice friendly place and bar very reasonable.

Mid hotel

Hotel itself was ok, very outdated and the rook very small and needs a lick of paint, the wooden corridors are something from the 80s, reception staff is asked some questions and the lady continued with what she was doing and kept ignoring me. Mattress on the bed was flimsy and not comfortable at all woke up with back ache. Breakfast half cooked was OK Pros of hotel, entertainment of an older gentleman in the bar he was lovely and sang well.

Friendly hotel, great location, needs updating

After having heard lots of good things about the hotel I finally got the chance to visit. The location is great, especially for Ullswater. Glenridding is a short walk away. The main car park was full pretty much for my entire stay, so I parked in the car park over the road (there were plenty of spaces and this didn't incur a charge). Hospitality is on request only. Unfortunately, when I asked for it, my bins weren't emptied as requested. The WiFi and phone reception (for me at least) was absolutely terrible, although I know this can often be a problem in the Lakes, based on past recommendations. Breakfast is OK. Evening meals are also possible and there is also a bar in the property. There is a pleasant lounge on the ground floor too. There is entertainment in the bar on Wednesdays and Saturdays. As mentioned in other reviews, this hotel does need updating. Some ceiling paper needs to be replaced and carpets in the corridors and staircases were old. A friendly hotel overall.

8/10 Very good

I had an enjoyable stay at the 'Patterdale Hotel' as it allowed me to get warm and dry when the conditions outside were atrocious, so bad we all lost TV reception but this was no fault of the hotel. The staff were pleasant and helpful throughout. The hotel was completely full over the weekend and parking was difficult, I used the one across the road without issues. In general the décor and furnishings are dated but still functional, don't expect a Premier Inn. The entertainment in the bar on Saturday night seemed to drive everyone away so I suspect that it may soon change. I only ate breakfast at the hotel (perfectly adequate if again a bit dated) so can't comment on the rest of the menu. Note that no dogs are allowed inside at all, an unusual policy for this location.

Great place to start your walk to Helvellyn. Rooms were what you need, but could do with a bit of a refresh. Staff were great and friendly.

Decent, No-nonsense Hotel

Standard hotel, rooms are basic and functional, though in need of refurbishment in some areas. Having said that, there is a nice, lived-in feel about the place, so maybe it doesn't need too much gentrification. Staff are extremely polite, helpful and efficient, much more so than in most more-expensive hotels I have visited. Dinner was a little bit disappointing, breakfast was better! Overall, it's a decent place to stay if you are active and looking for somewhere to stay where you won't feel out of place coming in muddy and wet.

The staff were Brilliant. We were given what could be described as a standard room when we arrived. When we showed reception picture of room which was booked they changed room to room on picture immediately. It was mentioned that it should not have been advertised as a superior room. Hotel was perfect for a warm , quiet welcome after a day walking. Staff were fantastic.

A charming Lake District hotel with good food and excellent service, with free parking. The bedrooms were on the small side and so was the bathroom. The wifi was poor in the bedroom.

4/10 Fair

the food was good parking a proplem when you game back after being out all food menu needs to be changed not everyone wonts a free course meal

2/10 Poor

This is a 2 star hotel, not 3 star as advertised.

This hotel is advertised as a 3 star hotel but when you arrive to check in you realise it is a 2 star hotel. I have filed a complaint to hotels.com about misleading trading practices. This hotel is indeed a 2 star. Room is outdated, the bathroom was dirty and there was a smell of urine. The walls are paper thin and there were only 2 sockets available for us. The breakfasts buffet was ok for a 2star hotel, the personnel was friendly and this together with the good location are the only positive things I can say about my stay. I got charged for a 3 star hotel, not worth it.

Midweek holiday

We loved our time at the hotel. We stayed mid week for four nights. Plenty of beautiful walking routes from the hotel. We did not use the car at all. Our bed room was lovely. We were able to make our own warm drinks. The breakfast was a real treat. The three course meal on an evening was fabulous with plenty of choice. The kitchen was able to cater for my husband who eats gluten free. They produced a gluten free menu every day and there was plenty of choice. The staff are very welcoming and the hotel has a homely feel to it. Drinks from the bar on the evenings. We will definitely come back. We had an amazing time.

Patterdale Hotel - what could be!

The location is great, amazing in fact. This hotel really could be something else and right up there with the best of them. However, The building is aging and in need of investment The staff are, by and large friendly but there are some members which have clearly lost their passion for the industry - slap dash service and dirty trainers. The food could be improved drastically - this is a restaurant not a fast food outlet. We have been twice now and both times we have had a three course meal in less than 25 minutes - cooked on mass with little love. This really could be elevated to the next level very quickly but unfortunately at the minute is more faulty towers than fine dining. Whilst I appreciate the value at £23 for the food, that is no excuse for the service level. Please do not think this review is spiteful in anyway, it really is meant with the best intention and to be constructive as this hotel really should be amazing. It is not all bad, the location, the garden area out front, the price point, and the beer - serves a right good pint of larger. The young lady on reception even remembered our previous trip (last year) which was nice. Just nip a few behaviours in the butt, up the appearance of one or two and really consider the restaurant - you have a right gem on your hands if considered correctly. Think about this, we left one night early simply because we couldn't face another round from the restaurant for our evening meal - we travelled 2.5hours home instead.
