DennisWonderful stay at this lovely hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Resturant serves very good gastro food. Breakfast selection was outstanding. Definitely would stay here again.
JosephineLovely hotel, all round good service. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend it. Good value for money, fab breakfast and bar food I loved the pizzas!
AdamThere seemed to be some construction work going on (which we weren't advised of in advance) and the reception was moved and it felt like you had to go down a maze of corridors to find it.
The double bed was just two…
IneseEverything was brilliant.
RobertOur room was very dated, although we had a nice view.
Food wasn't the best in the evening.
Breakfast was nice but limited choice.
LeonHappy Family Stay.
I was quite surprised how beautiful the place was, our room was very spacious and comfortable. I was very happy with the two 50 inch TV. The bathroom was clean and tidy. The kids were very happy with our time there.

Questions about Lake District Castle Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Lake District Castle Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lake District Castle Inn allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at Lake District Castle Inn?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Lake District Castle Inn have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Lake District Castle Inn?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Lake District Castle Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Lake District Castle Inn?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Lake District Castle Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Lake District Castle Inn?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Lake District Castle Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
