The hostess, Jean was great, loved the fireplace being relaid with fresh logs and firelighters and coal every day. Just had to light it. VERY comfy bunks. Decent shower, decent kitchen and toilet. PEACEFUL.

I booked this hotel because of the location,near to Keswick. After parking we walked round the front looking for the entrance. Tha view from the front was amazing but we couldn't open the door so we went round the back and finally made an entry. This is where the ,fun' started .It was like travelling back to the 30s. Very old and not particularly stylish brown furniture. A man ,looking like Jeeves introduced himself. We asked if dinner was available but he apologised and said he was the only person in the hotel. I asked if he had a bar and and he showed me into a very cold dark room where the drinks available were a very poor selection. We went up to the room which was large but feel cosy. The view over the lake was fantastic. We tested the beds and looked at eachother and agreed to leave. We met the member of staff downstairs and I basically stated my case about leaving. The best way to describe it to him was that he had a vintage Rolls Royce without an engine and on that we left.
Set in 2 acres of tranquil wooded gardens. The charming rooms have TVs and tea and coffee facilities, and many have breathtaking views of the valley and fells.

Amazing location, amazing views, and the right spot for multiple hiking trips.
When you think of the Lake District, spectacular fells, picturesque lakes and stunning scenery comes to mind.

Perfectly placed on the Coast to Coast path, we were greeted by friendly staff and taken to our very comfortable room. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, and we were very well looked after. Thank you, Royal Oak Hotel, for a lovely stay.
The hotel, staff and food exceeded our expectations.
The hotel, staff and food exceeded our expectations. Real ale was well kept and a bonus. The highlight of the afternoons were the RAF jets flying up the valley at tree top hight. People would wait for their arrival.

The scenery is stunning!
The scenery is stunning! Shame about the closeness of the road to our bedroom window!
A cooked breakfast would be an improvement! The room was tiny! I did have another 3 days booked for the end of September but cancelled after our stay! Find somewhere different to eat other than The Kings Head which isn’t as good as they make out!

Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes.
Gateway to both the Northern and Southern lakes. A lot of good restaurants in the general area, but book early if in a large group . Hoards of people so visit important places early e.g. Castlerigg stone circle is MUCH better if you're the only group there. You can feel its 4500 years age. Book steam ferries before you go otherwise availability might be low. Ask prices at tea rooms before buying. We paid £33 for seven teas/coffees.

Thirlmere is out in the country, not in the rush of the general tourist population. It is easy to reach Keswick and Ambleside and delightful to come back to the peace.
The King's Head just down the road produces good food.
The countryside is majestic and inviting.
A lovely overnight stay in this cozy farmhouse close to Thirlmere at the foot of the Dodds.
The landlady was friendly and welcoming and my room was very comfortable and had everything I needed. I particularly liked the fresh milk in the fridge and the Thelwell loo seat 😆
The tasty full English breakfast in a traditional dining room setting was perfect for setting me up for the day.
Just a 10 minute walk to the nearby pub and then on a little further to Thirlmere itself.
My second visit to this hotel - and I still think it has a lot to offer. The location is perfect as it is close to one of the central roads that runs through the heart of the Lake District so it’s only a short drive to either Keswick or Grasmere. All the staff are pleasant and helpful and the rooms are warm, clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast which is served in the warm and cosy coffee shop area is always a nice bonus to come down to in the morning.
The location is in the middle of two towns, so literally on the highway. But it has great views.
Both towns Keswick and Ambelside are a 20 mins drive. So it's important to have a car if you plan to stay here.
Food is good, though the menu is limited. The outside seating has great views.
There are treks nearby the hotel, though I couldn't do any, but the trail started just behind the hotel.
Breakfast times were late after 8am.breakfast was average. Car park and paths around hotel were sheet ice ,no attempt was made to make paths safe.to walk on ,,no road salt was available making the paths and car park lethal, Pillows in room were flatter than a pancake , Bathroom shower was very small as was the bathroom. I wouldn't stay here again.
it was very nice and quiet, the bunks were Cozy, the manager of the property was very kind and put on the fire for me before she left. The barn is also easily accessible via bus, which makes the lakes and scenic hiking routes easily accessible as well.
What a delightful place to stay! A working farm with lambing about to start, Helvellyn above for a great day's walk, Thirlmere below and well worth exploring. A breath of fresh air.
Very friendly staff
Clean & tidy & comfortable bed
Great value for the Lake District
