The Brackenrigg Inn

Meal out with the children, first weekend of trading following extensive refurbishment. Loved the decor, restful and luxurious, new flooring looked fabulous, plenty of seats, normal tables, sofas, bar stools, nicely laid out, a huge step up from before. It was very busy and food was served remarkably quickly. Nice food! Glorious location. Sitting outside when warmer will be absolute heaven. As it was, the sun was shining and it was glorious. But, had it been pouring with rain, a great place to watch Ullswater from on high and hope the clouds move on.

Booked this as a 2 night stay but contacted the hotel 4 weeks before to add another night. This was no issue and payment was due on arrival. We arrived and the bar member knew our names and that we were checking in. Fantastic breakfast. Cooked to order and can pick and choose items if wanted. The food in the evenings was also fantastic. We ate 2 nights and had different items and were not disappointed at all. Bookings not taken for evenings but staff reserved the best table in the bar for us both nights which was a lovely touch. Very happy with the room with a beautiful mountain view for us and our dog. We were looked after from the moment we arrived until we left. We will be back next year after the shut down over the winter. Can't wait to go back
