We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts.
Pros:

The whole ambience of the Hotel, very smart and friendly staff.

Cons:

Skiddaw Hotel could save a lot of money by turning down the heating, we had the window open and the door closed to the bathroom where the heat was coming from, but it still was too warm. But we still enjoyed our stay.

Pros:

Reception area, restaurant, checking in process were all great. Very clean. Area is perfect, direct in the center.
Staff were very welcoming.
Breakfast is lovely, lots of options.

Cons:

The room is dated, I was in a single room which I expect to be small but it needs an upgrade. Especially the bathroom. TV is not a smart TV, kettle is about 20 years old.
Charge of £25 a night for a dog is not clear until you have already paid for the room. I dont know why there is a charge when you are given a "dog friendly" room.
