"really wanted to rate this hotel higher, but think it really fair to give an honest review. after the most incredible journey through the lake district, and both wrynose and hardknot pees, which are more adventurous in themselves, we reached our destination in the small village of the calder bridge. the hotel has a beautiful location over the bridge with its protected beer garden banking on the lively and picturesque river calder. they would never know that it was only 1 mile from sellafield, the nuclear reprocessing plant, but please don't let them put it out. during the week, the hotel offers first line to contract partners working on the above website. this steady trade in the week means that certain refinement that they might expect from a land hotel is lacking for this customer, so the well-respected pool table. good choice of home cooked food in the regular price, and the bar has a good choice of well-maintained speciality Ales. so good looking, the current faithful has guessed the good ale guide for the last 8 years. So here's the piece that allows me. concerning most restaurants post covid, planned renovation programs have stopped a bit. To be fair, the accusation we were given was a non-renovated room with the much less guess, but really saw this at least 15-20 years on what I expected. I have to emphasize that we have never seen the renovated rooms so that I can no longer comment. Apparently, short personal problems that they urgently attempted to correct also had an effect on the general budget side of the dinge, as the actual number of spaces that were made available to the public was reduced. the breakfast was plentiful and healthy, although I would suggest that this was again more focused on the weekday business trade than the weekday stay. I might have expected more traditional local products with a better selection of the cook selection. here is the most important thing that outweighs any critique. Current owners clive and mel are the best hotels. the most friendly and upcoming couple they could meet and make a point to keep on a first name, including introductions to more regular customers. that's what it's about. However, there is a slight envelope on how to turn after 10 years at the tax and around 70, clive recommended that he feel ready to go to rest and was looking for a buyer. the couple is curious to travel the next 10 years. we simply hope that the new owners have so much enthusiasm as clive and mel, and have also provided the additional money to bring this little jewel of a place back to the top of his game. many thanks to clive and mel for a pleasant stay and much luck forward."
