Rusland Pool Hotel

Excellent Value, great location for us .. near where we wanted to be. Main road a bit noisy but didn't bother us for the price. Good size rooms, (1×twin room & 1x king bedroom)not modern but clean and very comfy beds. It was ground floor like a little row of bungalows outside with own patio and table chairs. Fan in the room, kettle tea coffee etc..good size tv. Wardrobes lots of drawers, desk/dressing table. Slept very well. Morning we had a Lovely self serv cooked breakfast in the main spacious dining room and also a menu option for omelates, poached eggs etc.. as well as cereals toast and juices, tea, coffee. We had evening meal in the bar, the food was excellent we had fish & chips, scampi & chips, a huge stacked burger & chips, and the chef cooked a jacket potato especially for 1 of us with cheese & beans and lovely salad (normally only available lunch times. Nice desserts, lovely friendly staff, excellent service. Highly recommend ***** xxx

Lovely clean room with comfy twin beds and nice bathroom. Free toiletries and coffee/tea in the room. Door opened to the outside, which we thought was a bit unusual, but also exciting as it made us feel we were in an American motel room - just like in the movies! Friendly staff. Great breakfast included in the price. Lovely bar. Parking conveniently close to our room. Only 15 minute drive to the Predator Experience place, which was the main goal of our trip. Also close to Lake Windermere, Coniston Water and Grizedale Forest.

The rooms were old but with good character, and the daily housekeeping was very professional and did a very good job. The coffee and teas in the room were replenished daily as well. The option to order what we liked in addition to the buffet was very nice and the food was cooked well. There were ample parking and the staff was very friendly. The location was close to the main lakes, but you want a car to get around. No major complaints.

Great price for a spotless and comfortable room, close to the Motor Museum, good food on the evening and good serve your self breakfast. when we were there there was a half price first drink at the bar on which is a nice touch.

My wife and I stayed with a friend using two rooms at Rusland Pool as part of a motorcycle tour of Cumbria. The hotel sits adjacent to the A590. The main part of the hotel had numerous rooms but ours were what we consider as "annexe style", being part of an adjoining extension. Our own room was one of three which have a "private" patio area available outside each one with a table and chairs for sitting out and views of the countryside. There was a grassed area with some play equipment for kids and a larger general patio area with more tables. We'd describe the hotel as the "traditional" rather than "boutique" type and this is our preferred style, with a relaxed, more homely feel than some of the newer ones in our opinion. Our double room was very pleasant and quite spacious with wardrobe and dressing table / bedside tables for clothes etc. More than adequate for us. There was a "walk-in" type of shower and the unit itself gave a nice flow of water with a good range of temperature settings. Towels were plentiful and soap / shower gels were provided. Shaving mirror with light was helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and we found the double bed very comfortable for us. The hotel had a restaurant and although we didn't actually eat in the evenings (due only to early starts / very late returns each day from our daily trips, other guests told us the food was nice. We did have drinks in the bar however and there seemed to be a good selection available. We enjoyed the breakfasts, which had options of cereals, toast, fruit, tea, coffee and fruit juices. There were also cooked breakfasts, which were plentiful and nicely cooked in our opinion. The latter were "help yourself" format so that we could choose what content and how much or little of each item we wanted as opposed to the "pre-plated" breakfast which most hotels do nowadays.
