What guests think

At Eskdale Lodge, many guests highlight friendly, accommodating staff and good value in a quiet, convenient location with free parking, though rooms and common areas are often described as dated and in need of refresh.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many finding rooms spotless while others report missed housekeeping, stained linens, cobwebs, and occasional cigarette smells. Comfort is generally acceptable, but several reviews mention soft or worn mattresses and inconsistent shower temperature or water pressure. Breakfast is frequently praised, yet there is no dinner service as the restaurant is closed; some guests ate takeaway meals in the bar. A practical base for short stays.

Really clean, comfy bed, handy location…. They weren’t serving food but welcomed you to order food in and were more than happy for you to eat at the bar! Drinks were fairly priced. Would happily go back here again

Room was fine for a quick stay over. All clean. Room was a bit tired, had a hole in the plasterboard, couple of loose fixtures, double sockets with only one socket working, but nothing terrible. For the price we paid for a quick visit to Manchester it was good value. In a nice area and got parked no probs.

We arrived earlier than check-in time. The staff at the lodge allowed us to keep our bags on site. We felt very comfortable doing so. The people on site helped us with navigation and transportation options for the area. Pub on site. No food. But, we had a great time chatting with the locals about our trip. Felt very safe here.

It was locked up on arrival and played a guessing game of whick of the 5 bells to ring. Got the right one I. The end. They have a good looking menu, I was informed when I arrived that there is no food so o need to go out and sort myself out. The room was dirty, the blanket had stains on it. There were food crumbs on the floor. The wall paper was ripped in places and was very old. I had a twin room as that was all that's available. The beds had spings poking me in the back( I tried both). I went to make a pot of tea, when I opened the tea pot it stank of old water and there was still water on the bottom. The kettle was half full of water, no way of telling if it was fresh or if there was anything in it so I disposed of that. Tiny tv for the size of the room a d there was a 1970's pull out bed in The corner. The place was very noisy. I had a 6am flight to catch and I finally got to sleep around 1am. Music was thumping till around 11..then they took the party to the rooms. It was very cold and no heating apart from a. Radiator that was not on.

The room was in serious need of redecorating. The shower did not work if you had flushed the toilet and was leaking from the bottom of the head. Something should have said about that. The bathroom floor had not been thoroughly washed and there were a couple of pubic hairs in the shower tub. The mattresses made noises and there was not sufficient protection on them.

The location was good and the receptionist dealt with my complaint professionally, politely and refunded without quibble. The hotel was in a terrible state though, to such an extent that I checked out and moved hotels which I have never done in my life,especially at 6pm and 4 hours from home. The paintwork was chipped everywhere, Formica chipped on the bedroom furniture, the cupboard fell off its hinges when I opened the door, the back of the loo dirty,the bed cover was slightly stained and the worst thing of all was that the mattress was stained terribly down the side. There was a mattress protector on but I could not stay in a hotel like this. I am used to nice quality hotels to be fair and had expected this to be basic but clean which it wasn’t. An awful smell of cigarettes met you when you entered the hotel too.

It was quite a cheap stay but I’m unsure the superior room is worth any additional. Breakfast is extra but you can’t really order it in the morning needs pre booking the evening before. The room is fine slightly dated and not the cleanest. It is very much dated and could do with a refresh. Quite steep steps straight from bar isn’t ideal but quiet enough and the bed is comfortable.

Very friendly and helpful staff made for a pleasant stay and rooms were clean, but the place is badly in need of a decor refresh and upgrade. My shower had poor water pressure, and was barely warm. My son's room had almost no water pressure so just dribbled out of the shower head, and was also barely warm.

Lovely b and b. Friendly staff. Only things that would of been even better: Kitchen open for dinner, although i guess its because its not busy at all. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and although it was very tasty would be good to have more choice especially for the price, e.g yogurt, pastries, fresh fruit and maybe something like an omelette instead of full english but thats just personal choice! A bigger bath towel and a hand towel is needed and somewhere to put shower gel when ln the shower. The shower was lovely tho. A great overnight stay tho and very comfy bed!!
