We loved the location of the property and the grounds…. Our room was comfortable and practical, although it looked a bit tired in places I think it just added to the character of the place… We will be back

An excellent experience at the Scafell Hotel with such a friendly atmosphere. The staff were lovely and the food was amazing. When we had our Christmas lunch it was a lovely touch that the owner came around the room to welcome all of his guests. The open fires in the bar and lounge made it such a cosy and welcoming place to stay. I would definitely recommend the Scafell and look forward to returning one day.

Nice Hotel. Great Location.
Nice Hotel in a great location. Room was very clean and well presented. Its not a gleaming modern Hotel but that would feel out of place. The decor is very traditional and I loved the old photo's dotted around the place. Excellent breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only negative would be that the outside paintwork could do with a refresh.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough. The property on the outside could do with a bit of spruce up as it was looking a little tried. If you are looking for a low key stay with a quiet ambience this is for you. I will be coming back as both me and the wife enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to coming back.

2/10 Poor

Extremely unhappy
Always make a booking based on your recommendations. This was categorized as fabulous, quite angry when we left early as it was a horrendous stay. Booked for two nights left after one even though we had to pay for the full two nights. The review said free public Wi-Fi but was informed not available in the room. When we explained that we needed Wi-Fi we were told that we could have another room with Wi-Fi but it would cost us another £200! We were told that there was Wi-Fi down in the ground floor, but we had to walk around to find somewhere for a decent signal. I didn’t sleep all night as the pillows felt like bouncy spounges and it was hot under the douvay and cold in the room. It took 20 minutes drive to the nearest civilization. Would not have booked this hotel if the description by yourselves were more accurate. Hated the hotel but very disappointed with hotels.com

Lovely location, great shower nice sitting rooms. The staff who were there were excellent but like most British hotels they were sadly understaffed in the restaurant and cafes leading to very limited items on the menu which were temporarily the same in the main restaurant and the bar

4/10 Fair

Disappointing
This was a disappointing stay. On arrival we were told that hotels.com had made a mistake with the booking and we had been given a twin room not a double. No apology or offer to even push the twin beds together. After a long day hiking in the Lakes we were ready for some food. The hotel advertises restaurant and bar. The restaurant was fully booked already. The bar ran a first come first served system in two sittings 6pm and 8pm. It was 7pm, we were told by reception to speak to bar staff, bar staff seemed very pessimistic about our chances of getting food at 8pm. Basically we had to take our chances in the free for all. Not the relaxing night we had hoped for. Ended up driving back to Keswick for food. The twin room was not clean, see photo of headboard. Positives... lovely location and breakfast was very nice. I would not stay here again and it certainly is not worth the price tag.
