We passed the Cuckoo Inn on our way to a nearby car park for 6hrs of walking. On our return we noticed the sign stated outside, muddy boots and wet dogs, do we popped in. Lovely clean bar, double sided fire place roaring away and very friendly staff, even the Chef had a joke with us. Food was prompt, hot... More

The recently refurbished hotel has comfortable rooms with good facilities and is ideally placed for exploring the Lakes. A warm welcome, log fires, a friendly bar, good food and helpful staff enhanced my stay. Recommended. More

This hotel has changed hands and is not what it used to be. Gone is the lovely friendly welcome that walkers used to get. Gone also is the lovely Claife Crier Bar, named after the local legend about a ghost who haunts the nearby Claife Heights. Where the bar once stood there is now a collection of manky old chairs...

We do understand that it is shock to many guests that the Inn has been refurbished and that many people do have fond memories of the old place. But it was in desperate need of renovation, the building was quite literally falling apart, the old bar was rotting away and was very damp and a bit smelly. We have given... More

Poor customer service! I purchased a KGB voucher on the 8th Jan., which offered me a two night Lake District break at the Cuckoo Brow Inn. As it states in the fine print I called the inn to make a reservation for the 24th and 25th Feb. I was told that there was no one available on reservations and they... More

The KGB deal was a very popular and yes we were very busy taking bookings once the offer was released. The first few days were crazy to say the least, with the 4 telephone lines ringing off the hook all day. However, the service you received was extremely poor and your call should have been dealt with immediately to ensure... More

Really enjoyed our long weekend here. It's not at all what we were expecting from such a reasonable deal and from a hotel that welcomes muddy boots & wet dogs (doesnt smell like it welcomes dogs thankfully) :-) Warm and friendly welcome in a nice log fired room. The rooms were what impressed us most though. Very un-lake district. Light... More

We took advantage of a heavily discounted off-season offer for a two night break and had a lovely time. The inn is set in a beautiful part of the countryside with loads of good walks on your doorstep, and other lovely bigger towns just a short drive away. The Cuckoo Brow is a very traditional and charming place, and has... More
