"I stayed in the cabin and it was nice and cozy, the walk to breakfast was super short and easy though."
"It's £10 to stay in the car park overnight but it does include the use of the black and grey waste disposal."
"Food from the restaurant was amazing."

“The Kellbank strikes me as a surprisingly solid base for exploring Scafell Pike and the western Lake District; its family-friendly focus and even the camping pods add to its appeal. I like that they highlight local produce in the restaurant, and the pet-friendly rooms mean no one gets left behind. It feels like a well-considered choice for active families.”

The rooms were great and suited my needs well. Room size was ample. The location is very convenient, being just a short drive to Wastwater.
I found the breakfast to be somewhat uninspired , and the dining room felt too dark. Latte and cappuccino were absent , but filter coffee was available.

A Great Find Near Scafell Pike
excellent locationvery good foodattentive staffpoor condition
The location was excellent for my hike up Scafell Pike. The food was very good, especially the breakfast. The staff were helpful and attentive, they were a real plus.
The pool table and cues were in poor condition. The equipment needs updating. This did not spoil my stay, however.

slow servicecracked sink
The restaurant service was slow. I waited quite a while for food, maybe it was just a busy night. The bedroom was a little worn. The bathroom sink had a crack. A bathroom shelf was missing. Only the fittings remained.
