Stanley Arms Hotel

Went for food here and what a great venue. The landlord and landlady made us feel very welcome. Good food good atmosphere and great beer garden. Definitely recommend this place. Had 3 real ales on the bar also although I was driving so couldn't have this time.

We didn't stay overnight but stopped for some food a few days ago. We have never ever felt so welcomed anywhere! Every person there was so attentive and the food was proper home cooked deliciousness. The beer garden looked amazing for the summer. Dog friendly, family friendly. Amazing staff. Thank you 😍

This was my second stay at the Stanley Arms Hotel, and I'm sure I will be there again. It has become my first choice hotel in that part of the world.

We stayed two night's. The bed was comfortable room was nice and warm very clean . Breakfast was nice. Staff are all pleasant. I would recommend.

Helpful and friendly staff. Place was lovely and clean. Food was great. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here after climbing Scafell Pike, the location is great for this. Our 5 star rating comes from the really friendly and welcoming team that made our stay so good. We had dinner there which was lovely, breakfast was included and also very nice. We felt very looked after from start to finish. We were in a road facing room, I’m not sure if it was the climb or the bed but I slept like a log all night! Room was definitely tired and the decor was not perfect and had damages in places but absolutely did not affect our stay. Would stay again and do recommend.

This is a pub with rooms above. We stayed there before going to the Krankenhaus festival in nearby Ravenglass. The owners were welcoming, in the straight-forward West Cumbrian manner. We were in an unrefurbished double room overlooking the beer garden. It was fine as we don't need luxury: a bit old school in furnishings, especially the bathroom, but everything was fine, quite roomy, and the bed was comfy. I believe some of the other rooms are refurbished. It was very quiet. Wifi was a bit patchy. We arrived too late for food (they stop serving at 8.30pm) but they did offer to rustle something up if we were hungry. Breakfast next morning was a full English or scrambled eggs on toast - all you need.

Booked last minute trip to the lakes and found this gem of a pub whilst searching. The whole experience was made by the most 2 wonderful and friendly ladies both called Karen. Both couldn’t have done more to make our stay any more welcoming and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble even got my husband a red onion (private joke) but it was such a lovely gesture that made our stay. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean and overlooked the river, The food was really good quality and plenty of choices on the menu for lunch/evening meals. Breakfast was fantastic too, all made fresh and again looked after like royalty from the 2 Karen’s. I can’t praise them both highly enough and will definitely be back just to see them again. Thank you for a really nice stay you made our weekend x

This hotel looks lovely from the outside but as soon as you step in side its a different story , we booked a disabled access room only to get a call on the day telling us that there is no disabled rooms in the property by this time we were on our way home and this was a stop over so no time to source another hotel on a Saturday night. So we got there around 8pm the restaurant stopped serving at 830 but there little left in the way of food we were informed do it was a pizza takeaway that night .the whole place needs a renovation its been painted and painted several times over the peeling wall paper ,cobwebs in our room the window was new ish and not cleanded couldn't ooen the window because the gutters overflowed abd came in the window not good as it was extremely hot in hotel, threadbare carpets on the stairs and even fully carpeted bathroom in our room, a blue stain on the bath in the attic room was a lovely touch. The pictures on the website must be from a different hotel as is not the hotel we stayed at.
