A few ramblings, not in any order! We stayed here over the May 2012 Bank Holiday weekend. We had booked to view some houses in Drigg/Seascale on the Saturday and my partner didn't want to have to drive back home after the afternoon dog walk. That's because we live 4 hours drive away! However it was bank holiday weekend (we... More

This hotel is under new management and we had a brilliant stay. When we arrived on easter monday we were welcomed by clive the new owner, we were shown to our room which was really nice and it even had quite a large drawer unit to put your smalls in and some of your clothing. The room was just the... More

Stayed here back in April. Family room was fantastic value, beer garden probably is the best in Cumbria, hosts Angela and Wayne couldn't be better. Location is great for loads of family friendly activities such as the fantastic "Ratty" just 10 minutes down the road. Definitely worth a visit, pity the banks weren't more accommodating! More

We were lost, in the middle of nowhere, cold, tired and hungry after a long drive when we stumbled accross the Stanley Arms. The room was beautiful, clean, newly decorated, nice crisp bedding, beautiful bathroom. The Barmaid was fantastic, so helpful, chatty, and even though they had stopped serving food, we were allowed to order a takeway and she rang... More

I stayed in the Stanley Arms last summer, my room was musty which could have been because the windows had been painted in. The bed was so old and uncomfortable I would guess that they were at least 25 years old or more! The whole place was shabby and dirty, the food was second rate. All in all a horrible... More

A quick review here, nothing bad to say. This hotel is just 'right'. Food portions large, beer always good quality, a bunch of nice and friendly locals in the bar. Free wi-fi. Cosy and unprepossessing but exactly what you want from an old-style English hotel. I try to avoid the boring Hiltons and the chain hotels and this place was... More

Party of 8: 1·5 wheelchairs, 1 veggie - dining only. Wheelchair access is 'OK' (you'll get sick of this :) ) - a powered chair would manage the small step at the entrance. The step to the 'restaurant' is a full step. The toilets are however down steps - something like a flight of 3 and a flight of 2.... More

We regularly travel to different parts of the U.K. and reckon for £55 per night B&B we should achieve a reasonable/ acceptable standard. Room hardly big enough to walk round the bed. Shower (new) dribbled water out. No wardrobe. Bedhead not totally put together (section missing). Bathroom is a cupboard off the room. As for breakfast - no grapefruit or... More
