The Skiddaw Hotel [Lake District Hotels Ltd]

Access is a little tricky so the hotel is not really suited to the less able.

Our stay of one night was fine with friendly staff. Parking, whilst not on site was adjacent to the hotel in a public car park and a free permit to park was available from the hotel, which worked well. My only nigel was the breakfast and the poor quantity, not quality, if I was a big eater then I would feel cheated as I paid a good price for bed and breakfast and only got one out of two, could do better. Yes we would stay again, but I would take a mars bar to help out breakfast!!

The hotel is very centrally located, the parking area is small with room for only 6 cars. The food (we just had breakfast) was good with attentive service from the mainly European staff. Our room was very small and very stuffy although it was clean and looked like it had recently been refurbished. The main problem was that there was a function on during our first evening, the loud music kept us awake into the early hours. There were a few complaints from other guests about the noise. My advice is to ask before you book. Overall I would say it was overpriced for what you get.

Too expensive for location, but very clean.
