Irton Hall, hotel in Eskdale

Once visited by Oliver Cromwell and Henry VI, parts of Irton Hall date back to the 14th century.

Food in the restaurant was above expectations. Staff was polite and professional. Value for money is also fantastic. Would definitely come back if we visit the Lakes again.

Woolpack Inn, hotel in Eskdale

Atop one of England’s most beautiful valleys, Woolpack Inn is a 20-minute drive from the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. It is surrounded by scenic hiking trails, and offers real ales and free Wi-Fi.

we chose this location as it was close to wasdale head to climb scafell pike! Thankfully we got the last room for the hotel for the weekend and we werent disappointed. The room had a lovely Modern bathroom with walk in shower, the bed was lovely and comfy especially after our hike! The decor was country and cosy which was perfect! The inn was super busy as local campsites were close and it was such a friendly lovely environment. The staff were informative and very helpful! Miles particularly who served us was just a beacon of excellent customer service. The communication amongst the team was great, especially around the need to wait for the chef to catch up for orders which was absolutely fine. We ordered a bottle of wine and waited. The food was nice, especially the bbq ribs dipped in the soup of the day (potato and leek). We really loved our stay, thanks for having us!

YHA Eskdale, hotel in Eskdale

The Eskdale is a purpose built YHA hostel set in its own extensive grounds. Ideally located to explore the Lake District, this affordable accommodation is nestled in a picturesque setting.

The tent pods, although they look a bit drab outside, are excellent, draft free and comfortable, with two double beds. For a cheap stay, I recommend them.

Bower House Inn, hotel in Eskdale

Nestled in the Eskdale Valley, Bower House Inn is 4 miles from the Cumbrian coast. This 17th century 3 star inn offers superb food in its restaurant and rooms with en suite bathrooms.

I love the atmosphere in the pub. The food was excellent with a really good selection including a number of gluten free and vegetarian options. My room was clean and had everything I might need and was very affordable. I like that there are walking routes starting directly from the car park. It’s also only a 20 minute drive from here to Wasdale which makes it a fantastic base camp for a number of the highest mountains in the area. There were a number of options for the included breakfast and my eggs Benedict was delicious.

Stanley House, hotel in Eskdale

With scenic views from every room, Stanley House features a beautiful garden and cosy guest lounge with a log fire. There is free private parking is available.

Pretty much everything Originally was booked at Stanley house. I arrived and this lady answered the door and said are you sure you booked which alarm bells were ringing She told me to check my messages but there weren't any. Then she told me to call the phone to be transferred then the guy on the phone transferred me to the Woolpack inn. To be fair the staff were lovely at the Woolpack Inn. Really good comfy bed!

Strands Hotel/Screes Inn & Micro Brewery, hotel in Eskdale

With stunning views of the surrounding fells, The award-winning Strands Inn, Screes Inn & Strands Brewery all sit in the heart of Wasdale Valley.

such a great stay!! it was the cheapest stay on booking.com so i was a bit nervous at first but honestly it was perfect and amazing value for money! the room was really rustic and cute and the bathroom was in great condition, the owners were really lovely and were really attentive. the breakfast was really good too!! was just a good classic full breakfast but i was really surprised to see they did veggie and vegan options too :) i’m only giving a lower rating than 10 as we didn’t try any of the lunch or evening food unfortunately so i can’t give it a good rating. but all in all it was a lovely little inn!!!

NEWFIELD INN, hotel in Eskdale

Set in Broughton in Furness, 31 km from World of Beatrix Potter, NEWFIELD INN offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Did the job, cute wee room above a traditional Cumbrian pub. Great place to stay if you also want to enjoy some real ales and Cumbrian food. The staff were all lovely and it had good heating (not always the case in these parts). The breakfast the next day was tasty and served in front of a roaring fire.

    I can't fit this on a simple review.

    I can't fit this on a simple review. If you like the great outdoors just go and explore. One of my favourite spots in Cumbria. No lake, but it makes up for this in scenery and crystal clear mountain streams.

    Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend...

    Ganny cottage was the perfect choice for a relaxing weekend away with our dog. There are so many amazing walks from the doorstep and there are some lovely dog friendly pubs in Boot which you can find on foot. The food and service in the Brook house Inn was great. We Recommend the Stanley Ghyll waterfall, it was spectacular, and only a short walk from the cottage.

    Stayed in Eskdale many times.

    Stayed in Eskdale many times. We keep returning because it's quite than done places in the Lake District, fell and mountains walk are abundant. Several local pubs offer food including the Woolpack Inn which do excellent pizza and chunky chips. Suits us and our active lifestyle.

    Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far...

    Eskdale is a small village near Wasdale so it is not too far from Scafell etc.. Cumbria and the Lakes is a huge area with limited access by road so staying near your plans of adventure is a quite key now (fuel) and time on the road. I have stayed in Eskdale (the area) quite a few times now in different accommodation. It is what I want ie staying in the countryside of this beautiful place, you have your village shop and pubs and inns, leave your woes on a tree somewhere well before you get there and feel the tranquillity of why you came in the first place.

    Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district...

    Eskdale is a wonderfully quiet part of the Lake district with stunning views and a good base for exploring Wasdale with all its mountains and the spectacular Wastwater. Also access to the little railway and the passes over to Landgdale and the busy Lake district. All roads out of Eskdale have great views. It is even handy for the unspoiled coastline. One of the best places to get away from the crowds.

    Eskdale is for walkers.

    Eskdale is for walkers. The paths we trod had clear signposts. The paths were well used. We were fortunate with the weather and the views were amazing. But that is what we went for. We also travelled on the Ravenglass Eskdale miniature railway which is always great fun.It is enjoyed by all ages. I would avoid walking on any of the roads. The hotel is on the road which leads to Hardknott and Wrynose Passes and some (not all) drivers, clearly from a city environment, are so intent on crossing the passes they have no consideration for any people walking along the roads. The actual road surface could do with a lot of patching. Eskdale has more than its fair share of potholes!

    The room was huge, light and lovely and the bathroom was big. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice and plentiful. Dinner was excellent and we opted to dine in every night. The grounds were beautiful and there was plenty of parking. Wifi was also very good. The location was great for the west lake district and the hotel was easy to get to from a main A road for which we were grateful as the narrow lanes tested our nerves a bit much!

    We stayed in Lamplugh house at Irton hall in a group of 5.. got there late after Scafell Pike but the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating as we had a meal booked but had to change the time.. There was a log fire with wood to burn in the property which was lovely after we came in from the cold although it has central heating.. wish we stayed longer as it was a lovely place and will be booking again ..

    Forest How is a little gem tucked away in a quiet corner of Eskdale surrounded by a beautiful garden filled with the sounds of birds and frequented by red squirrels. No faux boutique touches here just the perfect guest house, quintessentially English, done to perfection. Best of all are the wonderful breakfasts served up by friendly mother and daughter team who run the show.

    On the description of the hotel it said it was one of the oldest hotels in the lakes which was really cool, the images however absolutely did not replicate the place. It was so run down ragged and stinky. My images of the room are to show how astonishing and completely gobsmacked i was by this

    Hotel was quaint and clean, was great to have access to a kitchen on site, too. Location is lovely - lots of nice walks and Inns nearby, peaceful garden behind the property too. Stanley Ghyll Waterfall and the Japanese Garden in Giggle Alley were particular highlights for walking.

    Excellent hotel in stunning location. Spacious rooms. Huge kitchen dining. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful river right on doorstep. PLEASE follow the directions advice from the hotel. There are a few very dangerous roads if you don’t take their directions. Avoid Hardknott pass

    Lovely place, charming and high quality while still being welcoming and "real" in a way that many country inns have forgotten - it still feels like a pub, not a hotel restaurant operating on a historical pub licence.
