The location is superb-quiet with lovely views. Hotel is a bit tired & service with food is a bit rushed for our liking but it was a good deal through Travelzoo.Location is very convenient for a bus route to Pooley Bridge & local walks without using the car.
Rooms need to be updated. Larger TV in rooms.
Walk in showers needed.
Parking issues, need the carpark to be marked out with proper parking bays.
Evening meals, the waiters/ Waitress rush the courses, forcing you to eat too quickly.

One of the beds was comfortable. The bedding and towels were clean. The waiting staff were mostly attentive. The food was ok. The location of the hotel was good

It was mainly the room. It was much smaller than the photos suggest and had no table and chairs to sit at. There were cobwebbs in all corners of the ceiling, torn, bubbled and lifted wall paper and worst of all, black mould on the corners and walls around the windows. The room was directly above the bar and we had to put up with music playing from 8am - 10:30 pm and sometimes outside of these hours. The bathroom was grubby and we could literally hear everything from the bedroom next door. We were woken at 6am every morning from people walking about in the corridors and were woken early on our second day from a delivery of kegs, presumably for the bar. I asked for a room upgrade or to be moved and was told no due to the hotel being full. The ambience in the hotel was weird. It felt like an old persons home. The staff seemed to only want to get their job done and move on, there was little interaction and no conversation or warm welcoming customer service provided for us. I felt that we were intruding in someone else's home. I have photos if needed.

Very good but only downside was if you wanted to eat at the hotel(which we did on the first night) you had to have 3 courses which we never do, we always please ourselves as to how many courses we want which is usually 1or 2.

I think it would be good if bar food were served as although the meal we had was excellent it was 3 courses which wasn’t necessary for us.

Really enjoyed our 2 night travelzoo deal here. Our standard room at the rear of the property was small but well equipped with everything you needed. It actually had a double plug socket next to a mirror and table! Bathroom was dated and shower temperamental but functional. Set menu had various options and food was fine. It would have been nice to have a bar menu like pizza burgers etc to eat in the bar area if you didn’t want a full 3 course meal as we didnt after being out walking. We then had to go back out into glenrydding to find this. Staff were very friendly and helpful and good breakfast with extra options available. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would describe this as a good walkers hotel and we would stay here again as it was great value for money.

This was our first visit to the Patterdale but it won’t be our last! We really enjoyed our four night stay. We found all the staff to be professional, efficient and friendly. The manager is very approachable and helpful. The decor is a little tired but the hotel is spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed or breakfasts and dinner. The bed was comfortable and we had lovely views from our room.

Most of the staff were very polite, shame about the miserable man at the bar who had no personal skills. Got the impression his replacement for the shift was delayed, he was not happy!
The mattress was uncomfortably soft. Checked out early.

The staff were very friendly, efficient & helpful.
The evening meal was poor- overcooked vegetables, hard micro-waved potatoes. The menu stated roast potatoes. The meal arrived cold.
The breakfast juices, bread, tea & coffee were of very poor quality.
We didn't like the blaring music coming from the kitchens.
The room was a little small & looked on to a close rocky hill about a metre from the window which added to the feeling of claustrophobia.

The only issue we had was the shower, the water kept going from very hot to cold which could be quite dangerous as there was the possiblility of scalding yourself.
