It was an attractive lodge but we were there for one night doing the Coast to Coast walk. What we…read moreneeded was an early breakfast (there earliest breakfast was at 8; much later than most if the lodging on our route. This gives us a late morning start. They did sell a packed lunch for the next day but priced it "over market" in that we purchase these each morning for the days hike and there's is more expensive. Lastly, we want to send home pictures of the days hike and we do it by WiFi internet connection. They had their own captive WiFi but it provides no internet connection. I think overall theses issues made the stay disappointing.

This is a place for people who love the lake District, they have books. local knowledge and a drying room! Packed lunches every day on request. The staff really try to help and the whole experience is like being at your own home or at a friend's home. They have a lot of walkers who are doing the big walks like Coast to Coast but also longer stayers and a lot of repeat visitors. If you want to go out in the evening -no problem the staff just offer early dinner. However the lounges are so friendly maybe staying in is just as nice.

It is set in a vally next to a lake and is ideal destination for walkers or just for those seeking a quiet romantic break. Rooms are comfortable rather than luxurious. The communal lounges are grand, and open fires roar, making it feel homely. Dinner is silver service and very posh, the food here is amazing and it is worth the trip here just to sample it. As well as the restaurant they also serve bar meals which are also very good if you want something a bit more informal.

The Inn is quaint, charming, and comfortable and the staff are kind, welcoming and accommodating! We arrived and were immediately happy with the safe and private parking accommodations. We actually arrived very late that evening, and called ahead, they waited up for us and were so kind upon arrival. The Hotel is SO charming, cute and cozy. The aesthetic is charming English cottage, while also being updated and feeling clean. The hotel rooms themselves are more modern (though unique) to give you all of the comforts of home - my fave being the towel warmer. Our room was wonderfully clean (and I'm a stickler on cleanliness!) and the bed was so comfortable, especially after a long drive. It was such a comfortable and clean place to lay our heads for the evening. The hotel has a restaurant that I would also recommend. Breakfast was incredible - one of the first hotel breakfasts where I haven't had to douse in pepper haha. Well seasoned and well cooked, high quality ingredients. Jonathan is a wonderful chef. My husband said the hollandaise was one of the best he's ever had. I'd recommend stopping by for sure, and don't miss breakfast! The hotel is also very unique in that they have local goods/art around the hotel, both as decor and for sale. Such a sweet touch. We bought one of Caroline's paintings - she's multi talented! Overall, I would stay here again. 10/10!!

It has a good restaurant on-site that's quite pricey at £60 per head but the real attraction is the lovely rooms and location... The only downside is they stop serving breakfast a 9.30am.

Dependent on which part of the hotel you choose to stay in totally determines the quality of your experience. Be aware that the more you pay the more likely you will sleep soundly.

STEER WELL CLEAR of a room next to the lift. There is no doubt that you will dine well here and the Lodore is famous for it's Spa. It is the epitome of class. The downside, the staff are in need of some serious hospitality training. This is a management issue and someone needs to take a long hard look at their policy of employing young people and then throwing them in to the fray. Not good. At all. You would have to travel a long way to find a Hotel in such a wondrous location but, then again, you will also have to travel a long way to get to Lodore Falls. You choose. #ipsofacto

Tourism is not extensive at Workington. The owners, Steven and Angela are really nice and do a good job of making sure you have a comfortable stay. I happened to stay in Room 10 on the second floor towards the rear of the building. The room was spacious, warm and clean. The bed was comfortable and I enjoyed three nights of blissful sleep. They also have free Wifi. At the moment they only do breakfast. I was told that they're in the process of refurbishing the hotel after which they will be able to provide a full dining experience. Talking of the breakfast, I was keen on a bacon sandwich. I had an amazing plate of sandwich on the two days I chose to have breakfast and got a good quantity of excellent coffee to wash it down. Again, no complaints whatsoever. They do have a policy of no food in the rooms, which came as a bit of a let down. However, according to Steve, they have had a few bad experiences of sauces and gravy being spilled on the sheets, which has resulted in this policy. So, you've been informed. Overall, if and when I have to go to Workington the next time, I would prefer to stay at the Green Dragon.
