Our friends accommodated the situation but we would subject anyone to this again.
Pros:

I have been here for 40 years .+ so know the expectations, in fact celebrated my 50th birthday here with 50 friends!
I guess it’s a sign of the times but slightly disappointing.
Don’t wish to be critical but not great.

Cons:

Bedroom nice, stayed here a few times, the staff tried to a degree but not ideal to be told at 21.30 that the place closed at 22.00. If this the norm then we didn’t know. If we had we wouldn’t have chosen this great place!

Excellent!
Pros:

Lovely rooms & excellent care from the staff.

Cons:

I would have liked breakfast earlier than 9am, but in fairness I didn’t ask in which case they may have accommodated it.

Could have been better
Pros:

Nice quality room , dinner also good.

Cons:

At 8.00am the temperature in the room was 13C with no heating. Breakfast was not available until 9 o’clock- a big problem when we had to be in Kendal for 9.15.

Beautiful country pub with great staff asks lovely walks.
Pros:

Great country pub with lovely staff, good food and we loved staying in Strawberry Bank. It was a suite with a four poster bed, free standing bath in the living space and a fire with seating. So nice to sit and relax and watch the rain outside.

Cons:

I personally didn’t enjoy the breakfast. We have stayed in a few different pubs within the same group and I’ve tried different options and struggle to find the right light choice for me. The chef kindly made me scrambled eggs on toast but it was very runny eggs on one piece of toast that went soggy because the eggs were runny. My husband really enjoyed his breakfast sandwich though.
