布穀布勞旅館

Fantastic location. Clean, quiet rooms and accepts dogs which was nice. The couple who run this hotel were really friendly. Great home cooked food too but you need to book as the place was very popular in the evening. Hill Top is within walking distance.

Called in for one drink after getting ferry from Bowness. One room was filled with customers and dogs, the dogs were climbing on the furniture and barking. When we asked if we could sit at one table away from the dogs we were told it was reserved for ‘locals’ the other room was reserved for dining… no customers were there. We had ordered our drinks otherwise we would have left. We sat outside in the cold wind. During the time we drank our drinks the ‘locals’ table remained vacant. This table was in-front of the fire and obviously would have been a good seat. We spend a lot of time in this area but I doubt we will return.

We were staying for one night and booked dinner for 7pm with our daughters. We were very happy with the service and our room. Unfortunately dinner was incredibly disappointing. The food and service was very nice until after our starters, when a large party arrived with many dogs. It completely changed the lovely cozy atmosphere. We immediately asked to be moved to a different table. The waiter said there are no other tables available. But shortly after I asked to be moved, the table next to us also asked to be moved and were accommodated. We really wanted to stay for dessert, but were so unhappy with the situation we decided to leave early. This unfortunately spoilt our entire evening. We understand you accommodate dogs, but then you should also be willing to accommodate the wishes of your guests who are paying for good service. It is a shame that this was our experience.

An average Sunday dinner which consisted of frozen Yorkshire puddings and a terrible cauliflower and broccoli cheese (almost chemical tasting) and cutlery not included. Would not come back or recommend, especially when it’s expensive for what it is…there are far better restaurants which do a far better dinner / Sunday roast with much better service.
