We stayed one night in mid-May. We had a ground floor double room (26) adjacent to reception. The room was a bit tired and small, I was pleased we were only there one night. The receptionist on arrival was a bit curt, the one on departure was pleasant. Breakfast was good - efficient staff and nice variety of food. We... More

We stayed at the Scafell Hotel for one night while walking the Coast to Coast. It's perfectly located if you're walking the route as it's on the path. We had a fantastic room - number 14 - which had a (much-needed) jacuzzi bath. We ate in the Riverside Pub bar, food was decent quality and big portions. Breakfast was good,... More

The double room was spacious with a beautiful bathroom. The cleanliness throughout the hotel and bedroom was very good. There is a restaurant which... More

We spent 5 nights at the Scafell Hotel. We accept that everything does not always go well during hotel stays, the 'acid test' being how the hotel responds when told of a fault. Despite numerous entreaties from staff, our shower refused to work. Without quibble, the hotel receptionist changed our room. In fact all the staff we came across were... More

Our room was smashing, with a stylish ensuite and a view over the River Derwent behind the hotel and a beautiful panorama up into the Honister Valley. We had a... More

About 25 rooms so not too big and met... More

My husband and I booked a spur of the moment break in the lakes but we couldn't have chosen better. From the moment we walked in the hotel we were made to feel welcome. The room was tastefully decorated and the bathroom lovely and modern. The Riverside bar was really busy so we ate in the restaurant. The staff were... More
