good value in a stunning location
Pros:

great location, lots of walks and swimming spots, and close to the stunning Rannerdale bluebells. very friendly and helpful staff. good breakfast, comfy beds and nice room. also easy to park as they reserve spaces for guests (parking can be tricky in Buttermere!).

Cons:

The restaurant is a bit soulless; it didn't help that it was almost empty on the night we were there. Most seemed to be in the hotel next door for dinner, which had a nice atmosphere, but service was erratic at best.

Fantastic location
Pros:

The room was very clean, with stunning views, a lovely well maintained bathroom, and a good size, we enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend. It was quiet, and we got a great nights sleep which was ideal when doing 3 back to back hiking days! The breakfast staff were friendly and welcoming and we really liked being seated in the pool room (dog friendly zone) in the window where it was quieter. We enjoyed the breakfast, with a mixture of help yourself, and order from the menu. It has a really cute and handy shop (lots of items people might forget like chargers and toothbrushes) in the front area, we didn’t buy anything but it was a nice attention to detail.

There was a key & code to get in and out once the staff went, so taking the dogs out was easy and simple. There are bins near gate where the cattle grid is and at the back of the hotel where the public toilets are.

Parking is right by the hotel, just hand your registration to the hotel receptionist, and you don’t have the pay and display

Cons:

The food at the attached pub was disappointing, the fish tasted like it was from frozen and cooked in the oven, same with the chips, and standard frozen peas.
The tall narrow bedside tables with lamps on were quite unstable and wobbly.

Friendly hotel in one of the most beautiful locations in the Lake District.
Pros:

Fantastic location. Friendly staff. Very dog friendly and brought our dog a sausage for her breakfast.

Cons:

The menu in the restaurant could have been more varied, particularly in respect of vegetarian options. It would also have been nice to see a full English vegetarian option on the breakfast menu.
