This is a great place next to the river with ample free parking. Great to go to Cockermouth for a…read moreday out and go in here for lunch. It's pub fair and the likes of fish and chips and the sandwiches are really good quality. It's all fresh and locally produced and you can tell by the quality. It's quite dark inside, but that just adds to the traditional feel, it's lovely to go in here on a cold winters day. Prices are normal, not too cheap - butt you get what you pay for. The staff are friendly and helpful. Worth a visit.

Nice food, very reasonable price!…read more Though I will say waiting staff left something to be desired for the service, the food was so good and cheap I didn't care.

Hundith Hill Hotel is situated in Westlakes, about 2 miles from Cockermouth town centre. It looks…read morelike a stately home from the good old days has been converted into a hotel. Location: It's located off Lorton Road (B5292) and is in close proximity to the A66. Rooms: Rooms on top of the reception (3,4,5 and 6) seem alright to stay in but can be a little noisy at night as the bar area is kind of below them. However there is a set of rooms on an adjacent building/out-house where the rooms are a lot quieter and you are likely to get a better quality of sleep. Room 12, however is definitely to be avoided. It's not bigger than a closet and is on a higher floor. Sometimes there is not enough water pressure to ensure water supply to this room. Food: The menu is not very extensive but they do the best they can. I've been told they source a lot of the ingredients locally, which is a good thing. The morning breakfast is pretty good and you have a decent selection of hot and cold food. They also do a carry-away breakfast if you're in a hurry to head off somewhere. Staff: Staff are very polite and informative. They are not exactly friendly, but they're not rude either. Mobile and WiFi: They seem to have WiFi but it is a bit hit and miss. Same thing goes for mobile reception too, but then if your provider offers better quality than mine does, you might get decent connectivity. Price: For what they offer, they seem a little pricey. I travel to Westlakes for work quite a bit and have always been given rooms at Hundith Hill Hotel. Overall I've had a comfortable stay here and I don't have to pester their reception for basics, which is what I want when I am travelling for work.

Absolutely wonderful hotel! From the warm reception at check-in, to the spacious room and massive…read morebath tub, this place is lovely. They have a very nicely decorated and cosy bar / restaurant area, rooms are spotlessly clean and modern, and it's really close to the center of town (not that it's a huge place, but still...) Several of my family members stayed here over a weekend and we loved it :)

The Kirkstile is a gem, both as a pub and as an inn. The food is a really high standard--very…read morefresh and often very creative, and local. The rooms are so nice, clean and comfortable--and quiet--I had several fantastic sleeping nights. There are so many fine walks from the doorstep there is truly no need to get in your car. The staff is incredibly nice. And honestly...I can't see how it is possible to top a summer evening sitting at a picnic table on their lawn with an ale in front of you watching the light on fell change. I could park myself there for a week!

This is the best food I had in the Lake District!…read more A large group (11) of us showed up just before closing time and the staff was very accommodating. Everyone was helpful and kind. I had the Steak and Ale pie and it was just delicious. The mashed potatoes were perfect and the vegetable medley was just what I needed after all the fried food I had been having on the trip. I tried my friend's lamb and it was to die for. The only complaint I heard was about the chutney for the vegan curry. Save room for dessert. The sticky toffee pudding was one of the best desserts I've ever had; I'll be thinking about it for a long time.

This has to be one of the most luxurious B&B's I've ever stayed in. My room was in a converted…read morestable block, with thick stone walls, shutters and some exposed beams. The bedroom was roomy and warm, but the bathroom was better than some four star hotels I've stayed in, I had a very relaxing, hot bath using the lovely lavender oil bubble bath they'd provided. The breakfast was great, I was joined by a huge fat real-life Garfield cat who kept me company. The farm is a bit out of town, unfortunately quite close to the A66. They also have a caravan site and camping in the summer. Another plus is the free Wi-Fi internet. The owners are very charming and friendly.
