The Horse and Farrier Inn and The Salutation Inn Threlkeld Keswick

I’ve stayed here many times on business. A lovely vibe, excellent food, cracking selection of beers and excellent rooms. Nothing more to say than I’ll be returning.

All very nice fully satisfied

Lovely old inn, clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Lovely breakfast cooked to order. Definitely return as great location to access lovely part of the Lake District.

This is a review for the Sally Cottage, which is attached to the Salutation Inn… If you’re looking for a place to simply rest your head after hiking all day, this cottage might be OK. If like us, you’re a family that needs a base for rainy days then I’m afraid I can’t recommend it. The upstairs is spacious and in OK condition, but the downstairs area is cold and tatty. When we arrived (mid afternoon) the cottage was being cleaned and the back door was standing open. It was a cold day, so by the time we checked in at 4pm the downstairs room was freezing - with none of the plug-in heaters turned on. There’s no welcome pack/folder to provide any info and we quickly came to realise that the “free wifi” advertised on here is actually only available in the pub - not the cottage, which is quite misleading. There was also no sign of a remote for the lounge TV. In the kitchen, all the pots had been put back in the cupboards wet, but there weren’t any tea towels or even kitchen roll to dry everything off. The only thing of that nature was a blue paper roll under the sink, so I had to call at the pub and request towels. All in all, it was a pretty miserable stay and we left a day early after my 4 year old complained of being cold. I did flag the issues when checking out and was just told they would make a note. Not sure what good that is to us but hey ho. Pub food at the Salutation Inn was good and I would consider staying there, but I won’t be returning to the cottage.

Lovely location overlooking stunning scenery and in a quaint little village, suite was huge with authentic decor and a roll top bath, food was tasty and catered for gluten and diary free.
