Booked to stay at Hotel on our way up to Scotland. Stayed 2 nights in the ullswater suite. Booked 2 rooms. Having elderly parents with us they took the ground floor room 8 and we had upstairs room 33. Check in was very quickand staff very pleasant. In fact all staff were. Roons were perfect each with its own small kitchen. Only downside downstairs was the passage for all the roons. It creaked very loud when anyone walked on it. A full hot breakfast was included in our price. And it was cooked to order. Dinner was ok but reservation required try to go earlier as service was quicker fron kitchen. Great lication easy access to m6. Will i go back yes.... Nost helpful staff as left our phone chargers behind they were found and put in lost property. We collected them on our way from scotland.

“We found the first photo on the advertisement to be quite misleading to the actual size of the room.”

Although later on in the photos there is a more accurate portrayal of the room, we think these photos should have really been among the first of the photos for the advertisement of this particular suite so as to give a more honest representation. For example, the balcony depicted in the advertisement is huge with decking which was something we were looking forward to, however, when we arrived we found a tiny outdoor balcony with a table and chairs squashed on it... so, our expectations were not met in this regard. The room itself was nice, although the amenities were not what we expected. The TV had many channels, but we felt the holiday village should really upgrade their technology to suit younger visitors... the technology and decor felt quite outdated, so we found it quite underwhelming. Furthermore, the kitchen appliances were not good enough to cook on, so after several attempts of trying to make a very basic pasta dish, we dined out. This was also disappointing as, during our stay, we expected to save some money by cooking our meals... so we wouldn't recommended having this as a plan with the very limited amenities available. The location of the suite was brilliant, however, and we found it to be very clean. The pool and hot tub are very lovely too - although, due to Covid, we were only allowed 45 mins which got cut short by a member of staff who abruptly kicked us out after 30 minutes). Overall, we would return for the location and cleanliness, but feel Whitbarrow have a lot of improvements to make.

About the location

POOLEY BRIDGE

Penrith 6 miles.

The picturesque village of Pooley Bridge sits on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley came to be due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont, and the word Bridge was later added when a bridge, which is now 250 years old, was built over the river. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village, from where a tranquil cruise down the lake to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown can be enjoyed. There are numerous walks with breathtaking views nearby, plus a short walk up to Dunmallard Hill reveals fascinating Iron-Age remains, whilst the towns of Penrith and Keswick are within driving distance. Pooley Bridge is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
