Average restaurant with amazing views
Pros:

Clean, spacious and comfortable room. Very comfortable bed. Good storage. TV and tea/ coffee making facilities. Good sized bathroom with bath and separate shower. Lovely dining room with amazing views. Plenty of parking. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Walkable into village of Cartmel but further than expected and probably won't feel like it after a meal or drink in the village. Food is adequate for a pub but do not expect restaurant quality. Accommodation is a little overpriced.

A lovely stay
Pros:

We stayed for 4 nights here as we’d wanted to be based in Cartmel and then explore the area and small towns too. An excellent location and we had chosen the ‘Kent’ room that looked as though it had a great outlook and it certainly did & and an extremely comfortable queen size bed. Good size bathroom too.
We enjoyed breakfasts here and had dinner twice. Nothing rushed and all freshly prepared. The hotel is family run and it showed, a welcoming atmosphere and friendly people.
The surrounding countryside is simply stunning.

Welcome return
Pros:

On our return visit to Uplands, we were once again made to feel at home with a warm welcome from Sue, Al, Dylan, Lillian and Denise. We stayed in Leven which is spacious, comfy and has a superb view over the bay.
Breakfasts were delicious as were the three meals we ate there.
Good atmosphere with locals visiting each evening and we were lucky with the weather having 3 lovely days plus a Lake District special on the Thursday when we headed indoors to the Motor Museum on Sue's recommendation.. a marvellous place.
Hope to return and see them all again.

Lovely stay
Pros:

A group of 13 of us go away for a weekend every year and this time we booked the Uplands Inn. The rooms are very comfortable and a nice breakfast is provided. The outstanding view from the rooms and the terrace is special. We were very lucky with the weather and despite a questionable weather forecast, we were able to sit out to enjoy a drink in the sunshine both Friday and Saturday, before walking down into Cartmel for more drinks and dinner. Cartmel is about a 10/15 minute walk down and a little longer coming back up the hill.
Very helpful and friendly staff. Good fun and certainly recommended.

The breakfast was excellent and cooked to order. Used local produce. Would have been nice to have some local honey to have on the toast.

A lovely, peaceful, weekend spent in beautiful surroundings with friendly people and good food.
Pros:

Beautiful location and within walking distance of Cartmel village and Grange and other places of interest further afield.
All the staff were welcoming and friendly, nothing too much trouble.
Our room was a good size with a bath and shower in our en-suite!
The food, we had breakfast and an evening meal, was delicious, with a varied menu.

Cons:

Could have done with some hand soap in the en-suite, although we did bring our own.

Wonderful wedding meal!
Pros:

Didn’t stay here so don’t know much about the rooms.

We went for a meal after our registry office wedding. The staff were wonderful, as usual, and the food was lovely, even accommodating the more fussy eaters amongst us.

The setting was perfect for pictures - only the weather let us down.

Thanks Sue and the team for helping to make our big day special! J&D
