I have just spent a few lovely days at the Scafell Hotel with my friend and our 2 Springer Spaniels.  The hotel is in need of some TLC but this did not detract from the warmth of our welcome from Katie, the receptionist.   

The rooms are a good size and clean and comfortable,  the food is really excellent and all of the staff were friendly and helpful.  Best of all, they all seemed to be genuine dog lovers and owners.  

This hotel has a lovely atmosphere and we felt really at home there. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and special thanks goes to Katie and Aiona who went out of their way to be friendly and helpful.  

If you are looking for a base in the lakes this is ideal, especially if you are travelling with dogs.

Made to feel really welcome

This is a very different review.  Myself and my partner were resident in the hotel next to Scafell hotel.  Now don't lose interest because this is a rave review about the hospitality and genuinely excellent service from a particular Lady called Katie that works on Reception.  Firstly we were in dire straits as our car had literally died on us in a flood that was approximately 3ft deep.  We ere actually booked in the hotel next door (but not a lot of empathy was awarded to us at the hotel we actually were residents in).  However, if ever we needed a Guardian Angel we found her at the Scafell Reception.  Katie has an amazing empathy, a beautiful warm personality but extremely professional and helpful in our awful predicament.  If any member of Customer services deserves an award for above and beyond it is this wonderful lady.

Guardian Angel of Scafell hotel.  Katie.

This is a grand old hotel in the heart of Borrowdale Valley. My husband and I took advantage of a special two night deal complete with plentiful and delicious breakfasts and one very good three course dinner. Our room was spacious with a super old bathtub in the en-suite bathroom. The staff were all very friendly and eager to help in any way they could. We had a lovely time experiencing the great outdoors in spite of the all day wet conditions. The valley is huge with a beautiful rushing river very near to the hotel. I highly recommend a stay at this hotel in its splendid Lake District surroundings.

This is an amazing hotel, fantastic bed and great bath to relax in after walking all day. Staff were fantastic, very friendly, helpful and informative of the area. We had to order room service (additional charge) as we had 2 dogs with us, it would have been nice to eat in the restaurant. 

Fabulous hotel for people with dogs.

What's not to like about a cosy hotel with log fires and welcoming staff ? Stayed two nights in the annex, lots of hot water good facilities and decent pub grub and service (and fire) in the riverside bar. Good value mid week break - we don't have a dog but many staying did and they seemed to be having a good time. Walked up fraggle rock one of the days - lady on reception recommended it.

Very welcoming

We had a modern room inside a traditional hotel. What a lovely deep bath I had, lots of steaming hot water.

We enjoyed our evening meal here, which was really made with attention to detail, as well as a lovely hearty breakfast.

The staff were really friendly, professional yet fully approachable.

A great choice for us, and would recommend this hotel to others

This is a traditional country hotel with a beautiful restaurant cocktail bar and residents lounge. Food is very good especially the breakfast selection. There is a friendly public bar serving excellent pub food. . The rooms are cosy and the staff are friendly and welcoming. An excellent walking base in a beautiful but quiet and peaceful part of the lake District. We visit here a number of times each year and always enjoy our stay. Our dog is always made very welcome and thoughly enjoys his holidays here. If you have a dog this is a great hotel choice. 

Comfortable welcoming and dog friendly 

Just back from a night away from this hotel, we stayed in the annex beautiful room, lovely bed, nice hot water and fluffy towels.  Choose this hotel to explore, plenty walks on doorstep and stunning views.   Staff are a credit to this hotel and go above and beyond, we had an evening meal which was really nice and the breakfast was really tasty as well staff in restaurant couldn’t do enough very professional and polite.  Definitely be back to this hotel, hopefully with better weather to explore more.

We stayed at the hotel for New year . The rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable . The roll top bath was a lovely addition . Staff were very friendly and we particularly enjoyed chilling out by the lovely log fires after some fabulous local hikes .Bringing the dog was an added bonus too ! The food in the restaurant and pub was lovely too . Overall a very enjoyable stay we will definitely be returning soon .

New year’s stay

Our fourth visit to the Scafell Hotel. Fabulous location.  Staff welcoming, friendly and attentive. Good food both in the restaurant and Riverside bar. Spacious, warm, comfortable and well equipped room with beautiful views of the fells. Lovely modern bathroom with deep bath, plenty of hot water, great to relax after a long walk. Certain to visit again!
