Feedback about Old Water View from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Old Water View in Patterdale is a well-maintained B&B, especially appreciated by walkers, offering amenities such as a drying room and mats for muddy shoes. Guests frequently mention the lovely double bedrooms, some with views over the beck and equipped with modern showers. A highlight for many is the well-stocked honesty bar and the cozy lounge area with games and books; while the location looking over the river is nice, some found the lunch menu to be simple. Breakfast is cooked to order and plentiful, and packed lunches are available upon request.

a reasonable stay

relaxed atmosphere modern bathroom original tradition styrofoam container minimal topping cold breakfast
the proprietors were cute. they created a relaxed atmosphere. the location overlooked a wooded backwater next to a body of water. the accommodation mixed original tradition with a decent modern bathroom.
i was doing a longer hike, and i arrived later than other guests. this meant i could not get a hot breakfast the next day if i wanted to leave earlier than 8:40. i was offered a baked potato for dinner, but it had minimal topping. it came in a styrofoam container, and i had to eat it perched on my lap (it felt a little undignified).

Adequate stay. Breakfast time issues

the location was convenient for exploring the area.
I arrived late due to a long hike and breakfast time was not flexible. I was offered only a cold breakfast, disappointing, because i was hiking double the distance.
