After many years of hearing about Seatoller House from friends who visit regularly, we finally managed to arrange a stay ourselves at this warm hospitable hotel. Nigel was quietly attentive and helpful. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Trish but the food she provided was wholesome and plentiful and communal dining was a pleasure. Our room was quiet and... More

We stayed for just one night on our Coast to Coast route. Very good location for the walk and a really lovely ambience in the hotel. Loved the 'trust' ethos of helping yourself to drinks and the bedrooms not being locked. We stayed with our dog(who was made welcome) in Osprey. The room had been very tastefully redecorated, and was... More

A very good base for walking in Borrowdale as the hotel are very walker friendly with facilities fro drying wet clothes and boots. Food and service were very good. Staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were comfortable although the beds were a little soft for my liking. Great views from some of the hotel bedrooms.

Four of us spent two nights at Seatoller House recently and were made to feel very welcome. We were immediately impressed with the redecorated Dining Room and equally impressed with the new carpeting and re-decoration of our bedroom Osprey. Equally impressive was the new look Rabbit bedroom. Dinners have always been excellent at Seatoller and Trish is maintaining the tradition.... More

Seatoller House is ideally placed to explore some of the finest walks in Borrowdale and the Lake District. It is a real walkers' hotel and a welcome retreat after a long day on the Fells. Nigel offers a warm welcome and Tricia cooks hearty breakfasts and lovely dinners which are the signature of any stay at the House. During our... More

This is a perfect place for our group - we've been going nearly every year for probably 15 years or more. We'll definitely go back. This year there were 16 of us and Nigel even laid on a pub quiz for us on one of our three nights. We really like the place - even though it's clearly not a... More

A warm welcome awaits you at Seatoller House. After a long, wet, exhausting walk from Ennerdale, we were greeted warmly. A homemade chocolate cake & cups of tea or coffee were offered to us on our arrival. The rooms, though a little dated were clean & warm with the use of a hair dryer!! on return downstairs after our hot... More

Our group of 13 plus 1 dog arrived at various times over the 3/4 days of our visit. Nigel, Tricia and all the staff couldn't have been more helpful and accomodating. A wonderfully old, historic and quirky house. All the rooms have wildlife names and we were in large and spacious Owl. The large bed, with owls carved on the... More

I spent five days there and I was so glad not to need to use the car. There's plenty of walks starting right from Seatoller. Three substantial meals a day provided (including a packed lunch). A freshly baked cake awaited me when I got back from a day's walking. 60 years of tradition ensures you have everything you could possible... More
