Pooley Bridge Inn

Just back from a 3 night stay at Pooley Bridge Inn. We booked one of the balcony rooms which overlooks the front of the hotel. This was great for chilling after walks on rainy days. The room itself had everything you could need for your stay, selection of tea, coffee, etc and this was topped up daily as required. There’s a communal fridge for guest use on the landing which was in working order. The room was clean on arrival and daily room cleaning was available if required but we chose not to unless we needed something, you just let them know. The hotel is exceptionally doggy friendly, as long as they are on the floor which is fair enough. Breakfast is plentiful, ranging from continental to full fry up, of varying sizes. I wish I had a bigger appetite cause it was so tasty. Fresh tea and coffee served on request as well. They even have Doggy sausages on the menu for your furry friend. Parking is provided for hotel guests and diners but can be very busy during lunch and dinner services. We never had an issue though. We chose to have dinner (booking advised) in the hotel on 2 nights of our stay. There are ample choices on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and very filling. The staff were all very friendly, Tracy, the housekeeping manager, was who we saw the most as she seemed to be there all the time. She fulfilled our minimum requests every time. All staff that we saw worked very hard at all times to keeps guests happy and the hotel pristine.

Easy parking, great welcome and the warmth and helpfulness of the staff made our stay. Delightful traditional inn with a modern feel.

Excellent stay - friendly staff, great food and drink, nice and warm (v cold outside). Ample parking. Comfortable room, great shower.
