The Kellbank

We were made welcome. The room was comfortable. Plenty of USB sockets for overnight charging. Plenty of good parking. WiFi worked well.

You guys need to get some new mattresses, it was rock solid and crunchy from broken springs

Wonderful place all around!

Fantastic place, would definitely recommend.

Very easy accessibility to places

I recently stayed at this hotel in the Lake District with my family for five nights. Our main goal was to climb Scafell Pike, and this hotel stood out as the nearest option within my price range. Initially, I didn’t have very high expectations (despite the good reviews), but those quickly changed once we arrived.

The location was peaceful and quiet, the car park was large and well-planned, and the room exceeded my expectations—it was far more spacious than any hotel room I’ve stayed in before. The staff were warm, humble, and genuinely welcoming, which added to the experience.

Breakfast was included in the price and was a real highlight. Instead of a standard buffet, you order from a menu (available online), and the food is freshly prepared for you. There were plenty of options, including vegetarian and vegan choices, which I thought was excellent.

The bathroom was also very spacious and clean. The only small drawbacks were that the sofa bed was only a single (despite there being enough room for a double), and the showerhead over the bathtub was fixed.

The location was very convenient—just a 25-minute drive to Scafell Pike and about 40 minutes to the west coast, where towns like Whitehaven and Workington offer plenty of restaurants (including McDonald’s, KFC, and Domino’s for budget options), as well as major supermarkets like Morrisons, ASDA, and Tesco.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and would happily return. Highly recommended.

There is a Bar and restaurant attached to the B&B. So food n drinks are easily available. Breakfast is good!

We have booked twin rooms, however ended up with double and sofa bed in both rooms which was not ideal as we were hiking early next morning and aofa beds were not comfortable at all. Staff was helpful hower they all looked like they are not really enjoying what they do..

Excellent hotel, nothing to complain about. Stayed here to go to scafell pike which was around 25 minutes drive away. Also a beach around 10 minutes drive away. Hotel has a large car park, great outdoor space to sit as well.

Only down side was we went to pool room and it was locked, got the staff to open it and got change for the table from the bar. Just as we were going to start playing noticed one cue was broken in half and the other the tip was missing. Dart board not in the best condition. So we left the room.

Breakfast was great and served large portions, only down side was the next day tried the pancakes and those were only two litter ones you get. Also the food came out really fast once ordered.

Overall great experience and would recommend to others. Nice, clean and friendly happy staff.

Perfect every time I stay

Best hotel bed i have stayed in! It was just so comfortable. Very clean rooms. Food in the hotel is fab, and HUGE portions. Will definately be back!

The room was basic but clean, comfortable, and had a lovely breakfast. Good location and easy parking

Had booked a deluxe room for more room but when we arrived we were allocated a standard room. I went to reception to change our room and they said they did not have any deluxe rooms left and that it was Expedia who shouldn’t have let me book this type of room. I asked for a refund but they said no, so I asked for a meal that evening on the house as I’d paid extra for this room and we hadn’t go it, they said no. Didn’t want to give us anything. 2 terrible nights of sleep with uncomfortable beds and people slamming doors early in the morning. Food was average. Wouldn’t stay again.

Lovely area with spectacular views and places to visit. Pleasant staff and comfortable hotel. I had a gluten free meal which was excellent. Room nice but rather small and cramped with big furniture. Ideal place to get to Muncaster castle, ravenglass and much beauty!

Stayed here the night before and after climbing Scafell Pike (20 minutes away). Had a really good time. Great use of space. Breakfast was great.

Overall staying is good, heating was off during the night, there isn't any sufficient soundproofing and you could hear noises/tanks from corridor, wash hand basin and self was very close and you every time you wanted to wash your face the water spilled on the floor.

Staff is very friendly, food variety and very good quality!

Had a lovely stay in one of the Pods. Nice breakfast and meals in the hotel.
Knocked a star off as the EV Charger kept stopping so we didnt get a full charge.

Loved the place will be staying again soon
Food brilliant staff down to earth good pub better than pub food and nice warm rooms

What I needed

Great place. Only problem was a high pitched whistle sound at about 5, 5.30am
