Overall it was a comfortable room that was generally clean. Bit tired looking, food was just ok. Didn’t think it quite warranted the high score on Hotels.com

Great ‘all-round’ stay Bridge Inn thanks ;)
Great ‘all-round’ stay really. My reason for this trip was to do some decent hiking & go up the famous Scafell Pike. Since I was travelling solo by train & foot it was a nice middle ground between coast & fells/mountains to rest & eat lovely food. Even more so every single member of staff were brilliant that’s it thankyou I will return :)

One hot breakfast cancelled as power cut expected and kitchen staff sent home (even though at time of 'cold' breakfast all was working). Room was in poor order, black mould on window blinds, bathroom state of repairs below standard, furnishings v.tired and floor worryingly 'soft' underfoot. Central heating not working (towels from morning as hung up were damp in evening) and cold at night. Understaffed. (those working were clearly over worked). Not what is expected at £140/night had to pay upfront and no reply to complaint emailed in, (no attendance for checkout), now 10 days passed since stay. Looking for a refund, but no response to emails. It used to be a great place but not now. I did wait for email reply to come before placing this rating however we feel ignored.

Just stayed one night, was given a room that is designed to accommodate wheelchair access, so spacious and with a big bathroom. Enjoyed the nachos with chilli, and the beef and ale pie which were excellent, as was the cooked breakfast. Good choice of local ales at the bar. All in all very comfortable and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

I would not recommend staying here if you have another option, as it is poorly managed. There is no management on site and on the first morning the downstairs area of the inn was locked up. The chef could not get into the kitchen and the guests could not get into the dining area. We waited for an hour before someone turned up with some keys and we finally got some breakfast. And no one even apologised or asked how our stay had been. I won't be coming back.

Lovely pub.. only stayed one night but had a lovely relaxing evening accompanied by great food and drink. Breakfast was really nice too. Need a car as there’s not much in the area but a great base for walkers.

Average accommodation but close to Wastwater
This rather tired inn does the basics well. it’s clean enough and serves a basic but fulsome breakfast and offers a decent range of drinks and standard pub grub. The rooms are a bit tired but clean and comfortable. it’s about a 10 min drive to Wast water and a fantastic choice of Wainright hills.
