We visited as a family group for lunch, having walked up from Aira Force. It’s well worth the walk up. A nice choice of beer with friendly, knowledgeable service. We had chicken wings which were lovely to start and tasted home made. The pies for main were generous and we loved the steak with gluten free chips and onion rings. All topped off with a giant chess set in the beer garden. We will definitely visit again.

We enjoyed our stay the room was really nice and the staff were friendly! The dinner menu had lots to choose from and the desserts were tempting! Choice of beers including local ones on tap! We stayed initially to attempt Helvelyn as Glenridding isn’t far. Also did Aira Force Waterfalls and circuit walk on the fell which is manageable in good time even if you are unfit!

My wife and I fortuitously discovered the Royal after a booking at a nearby hotel was cancelled. The Royal is a most comfortable and welcoming place to stay - the staff were very friendly at all times which cannot be underestimated and the food was most acceptable. Some local real ales were available during our stay. TV reception was a little unpredictable, but this is only to be expected given the location. Wi-fi was fast. If you want a comfortable and reasonably priced place to stay I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Booked a stay so that we could walk in the area. Good parking area, checked in without issue. We know what to expect after staying at several similar types of accommodation in the lakes for similar budget. Rooms are tired but comfortable, hot shower and a decent breakfast. When you’re spending the day walking that’s all you need. Dog friendly, and has a nice outside area to sit when the weather allows. We had an evening meal which we both thoroughly enjoyed. I had the pie of the day (chicken) which came with chips & veg and o/h had burger. Decent drinks selection and good service. Would return.

When we’ve booked a family room for our trip I was so excited and I couldn’t wait to get there. After that happened I was gob smacked. Guy’s taking us up to the room called it literally a prison cell. Cleanliness and any kind of hygiene for guest has been lost long time ago. The place is extremely dated and a family room, 2 joined beds and a tv to small to watch from it. My son cried to go home, could you imagine his first impression then!? We were all freezing cold in there. “Concierge “ said heating comes on certain times… bolocks…No heater working apart from little bathroom one, water not heating up to hot in the shower, so warm shower after a cold night will have to do it. I won’t mention the roof so plump that it was all visible inside on the ceiling, and I literally felt like this dump roof is going to fall on my head. Their room was so small there would be no where to hide! This Terrible experience isn’t cheap as well. I’ve booked it through booking.com and the offer said the hotel charges on arrival. Once booked they’ve charged me straight away. Also I was told we’ll be charged full price if we want to cancel. We’ve ended up staying there only for one night as I think this hotel is against any kind of regulations and it’s harmful for guests health to be staying there. It’s defo not kids friendly hotel as there is too many hazards on site. Stay out of there if you want to spend quality time Pictures they lie immensely and when you get there you’ll want to get back quickly. Location 2 stars as there is ullswater yes, near bay and it isn’t at walking distance of less that one hour. There’s many places like this. Cheaters and money makers that’s all!!! I’ll defo spread the word. RIP OFF.…

Very enjoyable stay, good food, professional friendly staff, clean room and at a very affordable rate. Evening meal and breakfast was really lovely, perfect place for walking or just exploring, close to Penrith. The hotel was built in the 16th century and it was then known as the Cross Keys, a coaching in, then it changed its name after a stay by Mary Queen of Scots, fab!
