A very busy Saturday evening, didn't gaze the staff here in the slightest. As a group of seven, with seven different thoughts as to what they would eat. This poses no challenge at all for this establishment. A great time was had all, including the dog. Lovely. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this cosy pub / restaurant with rooms. All the attention to detail I really appreciate. Dog friendly. Spotlessly clean, great food and very attentive friendly staff. I was in a twin room with my dog and loved having the fridge outside my room. Number 3. Fresh milk in little bottles and folks storing their packed lunches for next day. Perfect.

Beautiful teas, coffes in the hospitality tray with shortbread and fresh water. Lovely bedding, great array of sockets, even a safe. Large beer courtyard at back and street side tables outside to watch the world go by Would def go back. Enjoy l

Food came really quickly. Decent food. Dog friendly pub 3 stars as it was a bit pricey and there were nicer tables available but couldn't choose ourselves

Food was too die for. Went twice on our one week stay and wasn't disappointed on either occasion. Food, service and beer were all excellent. I highly recommend the black pudding starter, steak and ale pie and the bridge burger. Definitely recommend.

Just had a lovely couple of nights stay here. Ample parking, great food and friendly staff. The room was spotless and lovely. Even though it is an inn the bar closes at 10pm so it was very quiet. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in this beautiful part of the country.

Really nice inn which made for a very satisfactory stay. Very friendly and welcoming staff, good choice of drinks at the bar, perfect pub food menu and good breakfast. Not ideal if you have a lot of luggage and a top floor room but that's a minor issue. Parking is a big plus.

We enjoyed a lovely three course meal here. Everything was very tasty and cooked perfectly. My partners pie was literally stuffed to the max with meat. Would definitely recommend and eat again if we return to Ullswater in the future. Thank you for being so friendly.

The staff here was amazing! I was just traveling through the area and stopping late at night; they made the effort to coordinate alternate checkin options for us. The Inn was beautiful and the breakfast was fantastic.

Stayed here for two nights, and I would happily stay again. Rooms were very nice, food was amazing (if very filling!), and the staff were the most accommodating you could hope for. I would happily recommend Pooley Bridge Inn and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Mixed Feelings. Some things very good others not so. Lovely room. Spotlessly clean. Nice friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. The bad things, had pre-booked dinner but there was no table available. The restaurant is just a pub bar and mostly burgers etc. There is a proper (limited) restaurant menu but it was slightly disappointing. Overall good value for money and if you like pub grub this is the perfect place.

Went in for a meal on the 30th of December. Service was really fast and polite, seating us quickly and asking us if we were ready to order. Our meals were out really quickly and they were 100% spot on! We would definitely recommend the fish and chips or pie payed all contactless and on our way, all done and dusted with efficiency and politeness

A beautiful setting for a beautiful building. Perfect location for travelling. We stayed for 3 nights, bed and breakfast and evening meal. The rooms where modern but traditional, cosy and clean. The food was was great, home cooked and big portions. The staff were all friendly and chatty, especially Sarah and Cindy at breakfast. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

We are visiting the lake district and needed a pit stop. This is a lovely place to do just that. My partner had a burger which was superb and I had the fish. This was the best fish I have ever had! The chips were chunky and plenty of.wasn't sure if I could finish it but I did. The fish. Fresh and thank you to the chef and the lovely friendly staff also. Highly recommend. If you are a dog lover.dogs are welcome! Great place.

We sat outside for a few drinks and the atmosphere and the setting of the place were both great. No need to go to the bar, you order (and pay) on their website and the staff bring the order out for you. Outdoor area was really nice. Food looked and smelled good although we didn't eat there ourselves. Drinks prices were ok, a little higher than I was expecting but maybe I'm just out of touch. I'll go again.

This was a stop over lunch for my friend and I. We sat outside to have a really nice dish and enjoy a very refreshing drink in the heatwave. It was a great location, right on the high street with the hustle and bustle of the town, as we come from London, so we like it to be busy. The staff were very nice, polite and attentive despite being very busy lunch time.

The food was delicious and we really enjoyed every bite. I would totally recommend this pub to everyone passing by. But if it is too busy I am sure the nearby ones are just as great.
