Travellers describe The Old Ginn House Inn as a friendly, food-focused stay with clean, comfortable rooms, often modern and spacious for families, and warm, welcoming service that creates a relaxed atmosphere.
It’s a convenient base for exploring the Lakes, though you’ll need to drive. Many praise dinners and the generous, cooked to order breakfasts, but the restaurant can be busy and waits happen, so reserving helps. Room drawbacks include unreliable Wi-Fi for some, showers that were cold, small or tricky, and occasional noise near the bar or restaurant. Best suited to relaxed, value minded stays.

Stayed one night on business On check in was confronted with my pet hate ie being told restaurant is busy and there was a 2.5 hour wait for a table. It’s great it’s busy and clearly attracting local trade, however, they need to contact customers on booking a room to advise to book a table in advance. Bar tables were also being reserved for food, hence limited space to sit and have a drink. Was shown to a small lounge which doubled as reception so quite a lot of through traffic Food when it arrived was good quality bar food and excellent value for money/ I stayed in a standard room and it was clean and functional.

We had a lovely stay at the Old Ginn House, the room was modern, clean and tidy with a nice big shower. The food in the evening was really good and tasty as was the breakfast! The staff were very friendly and welcoming! The only slight negative was it got quite noisy in the bar area in the evening!

Easy and convenient parking. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent restaurant with great options for the whole family. The room was clean but hot as we happened to be there on a rare hot day. We had dinner there and the breakfast included with our stay was great. Many options for breakfast and were all popular with our family. Thank you.

It is an Inn/pub with dirty carpets and sticky tables in the dinning area. The food is nothing to write home about and although generous it is tasteless. The rooms are cramped with views to the car park. The room cleaning was good with a clean toilet but the carpets and other surfaces require attention. Not in the best part of town and not somewhere you want to explore. We had some money off since last minute, it really is not worth the full price.

We stayed in a large family room with lots a space for a family of 5. The room was large and clean bathroom was good size and clean kids all had there own beds my only issue was our bed was a little on the hard side for me but everyone’s preferences are different so I wouldn’t necessarily mark it down on this. Breakfast in the morning was lovely and I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area. We will be back again for sure.

I'd consider this hotel for last-minute bookings or budget-friendly options, but be aware that the rooms may not match the pictures. Unfortunately, our room had stained bed sheets, noticeable cobwebs, and visible signs of spiders in various corners. My daughter was frightened by the spiders and refused to sleep in her bed. I had to remove them myself, which was unpleasant. Additionally, room service isn't available 24/7, closing around 10 PM, so assistance isn't an option late at night. It is 20 somthing minutes drive by car from lake district bational park so if you have children you would consider taking a closer accomodation, I booked two nights but checked out after the first night.

We arrived and were shown to our room and I unpacked. Then my partner discovered that the volume control on the tv didn't work! We repoerted it and were immediately offered another room of the same standard. It was a nuisance to have to gather up our belongings again but couldn't be helped. Staff apologised profusely and offered to help with luggage. Room was good as was shower. Dinner was very enjoyable though the restaurant was busy and we waited a while to order. It was a Saturday night so this was understandable. Service at breakfast was prompt and a very good choice. My Eggs Benedict were excellent and my partner's Cumbrian Breakfast was enormous! The hotel was quietly situated and convenient for exploring the lakes and Solway Coast. Staff were pleasant throughout our stay and we'd return if in the area.

Hotel was clean. This hotel would benefit from having a lone traveller policy. I lone travel for work, stayed at the hotel on one other occasion, but will not be back due to lack of basic safety knowledge from staff. On check in two men checked in before me and remained in reception. My key was given room number side up, reception then said room number aloud. Bedrooms are opposite the pub, across the car park. My room was on ground floor between both men room, in a corner. Lighting in corridor did not work, making entering the room a vulnerable experience. Door to room did not have peep hole nor inside lock or chain. When paying for my meal barmaid asked for my room number. I explained I did not have a tab open. She said she had to have the room number. Bar was full of men, I had to state I was not giving out my room number in a bar full of men I did not know. That silenced the whole area. Wrote my room number on a pad. No explanation as to why a room number was needed in a pub that caters for people who are not staying overnight. Overall, for a lone woman traveller, an unsafe experience

Staff apologised profusely and offered to help with luggage. Room was good as was shower. Dinner was very enjoyable though the restaurant was busy and we waited a while to order. It was a Saturday night so this was understandable. Service at breakfast was prompt and a very good choice. My Eggs Benedict were excellent and my partner's Cumbrian Breakfast was enormous! The hotel was quietly situated and convenient for exploring the lakes and Solway Coast. Staff were pleasant throughout our stay and we'd return if in the area.

I'd consider this hotel for last-minute bookings or budget-friendly options, but be aware that the rooms may not match the pictures. Unfortunately, our room had stained bed sheets, noticeable cobwebs, and visible signs of spiders in various corners. My daughter was frightened by the spiders and refused to sleep in her bed. I had to remove them myself, which was unpleasant. Additionally, room service isn't available 24/7, closing around 10 PM, so assistance isn't an option late at night. It is 20 somthing minutes drive by car from lake district bational park so if you have children you would consider taking a closer accomodation, I booked two nights but checked out after the first night.

Dining
Food earns strong praise, especially generous, cooked to order breakfasts and tasty dinners. The restaurant can be very busy with waits, and one review found the food tasteless, so pre-booking tables helps.

It is an Inn/pub with dirty carpets and sticky tables in the dinning area. The food is nothing to write home about and although generous it is tasteless. The rooms are cramped with views to the car park. The room cleaning was good with a clean toilet but the carpets and other surfaces require attention. Not in the best part of town and not somewhere you want to explore. We had some money off since last minute, it really is not worth the full price.

Stayed one night on business On check in was confronted with my pet hate ie being told restaurant is busy and there was a 2.5 hour wait for a table. It’s great it’s busy and clearly attracting local trade, however, they need to contact customers on booking a room to advise to book a table in advance. Bar tables were also being reserved for food, hence limited space to sit and have a drink. Was shown to a small lounge which doubled as reception so quite a lot of through traffic Food when it arrived was good quality bar food and excellent value for money/ I stayed in a standard room and it was clean and functional.

We had a lovely stay at the Old Ginn House, the room was modern, clean and tidy with a nice big shower. The food in the evening was really good and tasty as was the breakfast! The staff were very friendly and welcoming! The only slight negative was it got quite noisy in the bar area in the evening!

Nice, clean and quiet property. The best part was the breakfast. We were surprised to see that everything was made to order and not a typically buffet morning breakfast. And all of it tasted really good.

Overall a great stay and we'll go again given the opportunity, even if the shower was a bit tricky. Really friendly staff, evening dinner and breakfast delicious with big portions, even a small portion of the Cumbrian kept us going the whole day.

Easy and convenient parking. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent restaurant with great options for the whole family. The room was clean but hot as we happened to be there on a rare hot day. We had dinner there and the breakfast included with our stay was great. Many options for breakfast and were all popular with our family. Thank you.
