Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Boot Inn is a charming base for exploring Eskdale, Wasdale and the Duddon Valley, offering easy access to local Wainwright's. Guests appreciate the good choice of beers, including local brews, plus great dining options, especially the popular lamb Henry and fish and chips. The full breakfast and packed flask of coffee for outings are also regularly praised, though a few guests have mentioned sound issues between some of the rooms. The garden provides a super play area for youngsters.

acceptable stay with some noise issues

sound insulation missing television
the sound insulation was insufficient particularly between rooms i could hear everything from the adjacent room including quiet movements and noises this needs improvement to ensure privacy and comfort also the lack of tv in the room felt strange it would have been nice to have had the option to watch something in the evening

great breakfast vegetarian options cosy rooms sound insulation downstairs bar night noise
The breakfast was great and the vegetarian options were great. the eggs were cooked perfectly and to my liking, such a treat. the rooms were so nice and cosy. The beds ensured i rested comfortably, a very welcome surprise after my travels.
the noise from the bar downstairs, unfortunately, travelled quite easily! during the night, i could hear sounds from room2 next door and that was unfortunate.

Excellent Food and Friendly Staff

cute staff amazing food
The staff was very cute. They helped us quickly when we needed to change our plans after a long hike. The food was amazing too. I booked a table for dinner, because it is very popular.
Their bathroom and toilet need a lot of attention. The toilet flush was broken, although they showed us the technique for flushing it. It needs 4-5 flushes before it starts to work. How annoying was that! Explanation was that plumber has been bookd for next week.
