Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Lion And The Lamb provides modern, spotless rooms of a decent size, making it a comfortable base close to both the seaside and attractions like Scafell Pike and Muncaster Castle; some guests have appreciated the late check-in option. Many enjoyed the large portions of food, especially the chippy-style chips, finding the prices extremely reasonable. A bountiful breakfast is also a plus, though a few guests have found the self-service breakfast setup could use more cutlery.

convenient stay for cyclists

bike storage pre-arrival communication sister hotel
i was very happy they accommodated our group of cyclists by letting us keep our bikes in the rooms it. the team contacted me beforehand about a possible event on site and offered us rooms at their sister hotel. this meant we had a really good night's sleep before our c2c bike ride and i really appreciate their attention to detail.
The breakfast was simple, with only a choice of cereal, fresh fruit, and bread. This was not what i expected from a continental breakfast. i think the description could be clearer.

charming stay!

great team sister hotel
the team noticed our needs and moved our group without any fuss! i appreciate that the hotel team contacted me prior to arrival to inform me about a party with a band and offered alternative rooms at their sister hotel. it was a nice gesture, i really appreciated it!
the breakfast was self-service, and the cutlery was not enough for the guests. i think that the hotel should offer more cutlery during the breakfast hours.

i found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. the pub food was worth the money and of great quality. the beer was also great.
