Woolpack Inn

My first solo trip and I’m so glad I chose to stay here. Lovely and friendly staff. Clean room. Amazing pizzas and a great location if you’re wanting to climb Scafell Pike. I look forward to coming back!

For £60 a night I had a clean and comfy bed, a hot shower, and a tea and coffee station. The staff were friendly and helpful. Yes, it is a little noisy and crooked, but it's an old pub with normal pub hours so that's to be expected. I'm a female in my early 30s travelling on my own and I felt very safe and welcomed. Obviously this is not the hotels fault so still rating a 5, but just make sure you have a decent car to get there as the route is very steep and goes through a mountain range. The only suggestion that I would make is to make the breakfast hours start and hour earlier for those wanting to beat the parking at popular hiking spots. Also, after hearing a few conversations, it was not clear on the hotels.com site wether breakfast was included or not. I did pay for mine when I was there and it was only £10 so not a big deal anyway.

Dilapidated and dirty. Mould everywhere, the vents are covered in dust, broken furniture, broken doorknobs, etc

Food and service amazing (pizzas a must!) Bathroom in room lovely Bedroom good size and spacious unfortunately bed was already broken before we arrived, whilst staff members did all they could to resolve the issue with a temporary fix, as they were fully booked it resulted in very uncomfortable night sleep before our ascent up scarfell pike, this wouldn’t put us off staying again as location was lovely. Hopefully rooms will be better inspected going forward to ensure fit for purpose.

Fantastic friendly staff !
