We had a lovely weekend at the Pheasant with friends. Our room was really nice, large enough with a massive bathroom (in the main hotel). The food was excellent, some really different items on the menu and breakfast was fresh and quickly delivered. The only reason i have not given 5 stars is they were understaffed. The staff were lovely but really busy. There was no one serving in the bar on the Sunday and tables were not cleaned. I felt sorry as the staff that were there worked really hard and they were great. Also, car parking was a bit manic. But a great weekend and we will be back.

This was a beautiful traditional country inn with nice furnishings, quality bedding and modern bathrooms. The food was excellent and plenty of little rooms in the bar area to relax in and a lovely lawned/beer garden to sit out. We didnt bring dogs but lots did and they all seemed very welcome and accomodated for. Definitely would go back!

Fabulous place to stay the staff were all very friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and immaculately clean, facilities in the room were everything you could need, even an umbrella. The only suggestion if would make, and I don’t even know if it would be possible is maybe some sort of insect netting at the windows, it was very warm during our stay, the fan was a great help, but didn’t open the windows because of the midges and green flies

Nice hotel and lovely staff but we had booked a superior room and got room 14. This was unfortunately right over the kitchen so the kitchen fan noise was loud until 11pm then started again at 6.50am. We totally get that this is necessary to run the kitchen but this should be warned at time of booking and not be charged as a superior room.

A beautiful old Inn with a lovley snug bar and restaurant. The evening meal we had was fantastic and the breakfast the same. The room was fine, albeit very small despite booking a "superior" room which I don't believe we got. However the noise levels were terrible. Our room was close to the kitchen so the extraction ducts and chefs radio carried on until gone 10.30pm which resumed promptly at 6.30am the next morning. The chef did turn the radio down after we complained for a second time, during which the bar staff gave us her sympathy as she on occassion "had" to stay in that room when nothing else was available so understood how we felt!! I wouldn't stay there again without a guarantee of different room in another part of the building.

Some of the best pub food we’ve had in ages. We walked to The Lakes Distillery (a bit muddy at this time of year, but lots of fun) - and it’s perfectly positioned to explore both Cockermouth and Keswick by car.

It was a very nice hotel but the room I had was very small and there wasn't a decent sized mirror so I could check my outfit before I left the room. Also as all meals had to be ordered at the bar this sometimes delayed service if staff were occupied elsewhere. I'm sorry but as a single visitor I didn't feel included. However the food was good.

When I arrived to check in the receptionist was talking to another member of staff complaining about the Inn Collection Group and continued to do so for at least 3 minutes despite me trying to gain her attention. My request to dine had not been received and when we came down to dinner the staff member who was going to take us to our table left us whilst she chatted to a friend who was sitting at the bar. When our food came it was virtually plonked on our table. The final straw was when I came to check out the receptionist who took my payment by card on arrival had not recorded it and I was asked to pay again. Thankfully I had a copy of my card receipt. Also there was a definite undercurrent amongst staff that they were unhappy with their employer.

Disappointed in general. We were staying at the hotel for a wedding nearby. We did enquire about checking in an hour earlier due to the timing of the wedding but was advised there’d be a £25 charge. We subsequently checked in after the wedding at about 4pm and then arrived back at the hotel at just after 11pm to be told we couldn’t get a drink from the bar, unusual when you’re a resident in a hotel. In the morning checkout was 10.30 so we felt the value and service wasn’t great. The staff at breakfast were not particularly interested and it felt like we were just in the way of them doing their jobs. We stay in a few hotels and this is our opinion based on comparison and experience. I think more is needed to offer value for money.

We stayed at The Pheasant Inn for one night enroute to Glasgow. Checking in they struggled to find our reservation but once found, the room we had was generous and absolutely lovely. We booked then for an evening meal. When we came down it was all totally disorganised. Drinks and meals had to be ordered from the bar accompanied with a table number (not a room number!) the problem was that we had got moved table 4 times before we eventually had our meal! Locals in were complaining that they couldn’t book a table to eat and when they arrived there was so much confusion going on and the fact that you had to queue up to place your order was terrible!! We have stayed at Inn Collection Hotels before and they have been superb - this one was totally let down by their restaurant and meal service in the evening. The food, once ordered, arrived very quickly and was piping hot but was pretty average. Breakfast was fine but once again, we had to order the food at the bar! The staff were actually very pleasant but no one was overseeing the management of the place!

Very quiet, cozy & comfortable Inn. Although located in a remote area of Lake District, easy to find & can reach other spots easily. Must try the dinner at the restaurant which is very good with reasonable price. Only the towel rack in my room is not working which is a minor stuff. Furthermore everything in the breakfast seems overcooked.

It was OK, but you should think more ‘pub’ than ‘hotel’. I have eaten here several times, including before the major refurbishment of a few years ago, and the food offering and service seems to have gone down in recent months. The staff were not as ‘on it’ as previously (for example, starter and main course arriving at the same time) and apart from the nice breakfast, the food wasn’t very exciting or of great quality. This was my first overnight stay and the room was OK.
