Mary Mount Hotel in Allerdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Perfect stop for a coffee break - the view over the lake with bird feeders in front was great. The chairs in the lounge were very comfortable - best decaf coffee I have had. Looked at the menu and it was a shame that only a coffee stop. Did have a taste of the local beers!!

Only stayed for food and drinks after a walk, but stunning setting and views! Food was excellent and staff very friendly.

Excellent location for a getaway. Nice food, nice staff, nice hotel, all in all a very pleasant place to take a break

Beautiful food along with a beautiful location

Just returned from yet another lovely stay. Stayed in the bungalow. One of our room opened onto a private patio with pretty garden. Good, friendly service with tasty food. Facilities for dogs are excellent including a sausage at every meal. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely place to sit, have a drink or meal while waiting for the boat. Served straight away, didn't eat but looking at others food it looked really nice. Lovely amenities & fab views from the terrace.

We went there for lunch. Had a few bites of my risotto and discovered that there was a bit of baking paper underneath my food. After all that, I didn’t want anything else from there. Apparently, after the complaint, they fired the chef who was there for a week until this incident. I still don’t recommend visiting this place to eat.

Absolute gem of a place. Location magnificent overlooking Derwent water. Lovely bar area warm and welcoming. Dogs allowed in specific areas too. Sandwiches lovely, beer great and service excellent. If your in the area I would definitely pop in. Perfect!

Where do I start with how lovely and quaint this place is We visited here due to its reviews of how dog friendly this place is And it most definitely did not disappoint The rooms are not small and the bathrooms perfectly clean Great amenities in there (Au lait products) Also a heated towel tail that you can still use in the summer which was great with the wet socks and boots. The sheets were white but the mattress a little lumpy also it was one of those beds that you can really feel when someone else gets in and out the bed. Plenty of towels (luckily we brought our own for the pups) Plenty of car parking spaces Great venue right on the lake Plenty of fab walking spots right from the hotel The evening food is fabulous The breakfast even better They even bring out a sausage for the pups.

Excellent stay in newly renovated rooms in the annex, the staff very friendly and the location is brilliant where you can park the car and simply enjoy walking. A number of Wainwright's walks can be completed straight from the hotel and the hotel has direct access to its own launch stop for trips around the lake.

Visited as a family of six adults whilst walking around Derwentwater and over Catbells. It is an extremely convenient place to stop for a well-earned lunch. Good choice. Quick, friendly service. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

We love this place. Whenever we stay in Keswick we catch the launch to Lodore just to eat here! Arrived a bit early for lunch so sat outside, in the sunshine, on the 'top deck' having a coffee just enjoying the views. Ordered our food at the bar after 12 and it came out quite quickly. Beautifully cooked and very tasty. Large portions too. We both had the ciabatta but with different fillings. Lovely friendly staff. Can't fault it here, other than it is a bit pricey, but it's an hotel and we knew what to expect. Will definitely be back when we head up to the Lakes from our home in Cornwall again.

Stopped off for a meal. Always a great stop off decorated lovely. Fast service good sized portions, very tasty food.

absolutely love a pint here after a trek, with views to die for, fabulous 🤩

Lovely food, but a bit on the expensive side, not far of prices in the Lodore Hotel.

Fab views ,lovely food and made very welcoming .

Me and my partner had lunch in this hotel today. The location is great and the views are amazing. Recommend the vegetarian risotto! Staff not overly nice, but food was good.

Fabulous location, stunning views from the terrace. Staff lovely and attentive. Food great. Good base to explore northern lakes. Very dog friendly

Loved our stay at Mary Mount. Walks from the door. Very dog friendly. X

Very clean rooms, very friendly staff, great location, and very dog friendly and our dogs got fussed over a lot! Food was fabulous, and just all around excellent value for money. Would definitely would stay there again.

Beautiful hotel in a great location right on the lake side . Bus stops just outside , you can cross a bridge at the end of the gardens to catch the lake cruise. Lots of walking trails from the hotel and only a few miles to the centre of keswick. Great little pub inside and lovely staff and breakfast

Really welcoming Nice clean rooms Decent bar Excellent breakfast Great value.

All round good food, beer n wine,great rooms.

Went here for coffee after walking the east side of Derwentwater from Keswick as walkers/boots welcome. Pleasant views from the windows with bird feeders full and ensuing activity. Decent coffee and carrot cake (a tad pricey - hotel rates). Polite, efficient service.

Very enjoyable stay for the third time at this lovely hotel, Grrat staff, great food and a great location. Ideal if you’re a dog owner, will definitely be back.

Ate here last week for a family birthday; party of 6. Didn’t even know it was there and have driven that road 100’s of times. Was a drab dreary windy day, but got a warm reception to brighten it up. The outside space would be fantastic on a nice day. Nice views, etc. All the food looked amazing. Nice portions for a decent price. I had steak pie. It looked immense when it arrived by the steak was a little grey and tough, which was disappointing. Everything else tasted good and everyone else was positive about their meals (scampi, veggie roast, ciabatta, lamb). The Yorkshire puddings were immense! Good selection of beers/ale/cider. If my steak pie had been better this would have been a 5-star review, but it tasted average and didn’t seem to match everyone else’s food/live up to how good it looked. Would go back and have a Sunday roast. Ciabattas looked really good too.

Great views beautiful rooms fantastic staff and most importantly amazing food

Stopped there for lunch. Good lunchtime menu, typical sandwichs and soup menu. Good selection on menu, Nice tasty meal, no complaints at all. Nice friendly staff. Would recommend. Only negative, price for drinks £28 for 3 glasses of wine.

Great place to stop on our walk would recommend

Everyone was really nice and the food was great.

A stunning location overlooking the lake. It’s a very nice hotel, bar and restaurant and we never miss calling here on the way round the lake for a pint or two. The staff are always very nice too. It’s a particularly beautiful in summer with seating outside but still very nice when it’s pouring.

Great views. Decent beer. Fairly pricey. Food was fine, turkey was tender & cooked well, veg weren’t overcooked & plenty of gravy. It could have been hotter (temp) & could have been presented more appetisingly - it appeared to be randomly piled on the plate with a huge Yorkshire pudding plonked on top. Not very appealing. Service was fine but table service would make it a better experience.

SUNDAY ROAST - AMAZING. Atmosphere, starter, staff, location - stunning! A fantastic lunch spot after a lovely walk, couldn’t ask for more. Nothing more to add.

Overlooking Derwent Water the restaurant is perfectly positioned for a relaxing dinner. The food and service is first class. The highlight of our visit to Borrowdale.

This is our usual spot for lunch after walking round the lake from Hawse End. The weather was glorious and so they were very busy. But the arrangements and service was excellent, our paninis very well filled and tasty. The launch back to Keswick is 2 minutes from the hotel! What more could you want.

Wow this is the best food we ate during our stay in Keswick. The presentation & flavour of the food was outstanding. We had the mackerel & garlic mushrooms on garlic bread to start, then for main we had the trout & pork. Everything was absolutely delicious. My partner had the ‘thunder’ ice cream to finish. The service was excellent as well. If we ever stay in Keswick again this would be our first choice of where to eat.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner, all were of high standard. Value for money is not disputed. Served in a friendly manner in a pleasant atmosphere.

We ate lunch here after a rather beautiful but wet walk. Lovely cold and hot sandwiches. Very generous and tasty fillings. Pleasant staff What made the experience special was the amazing bird life right outside our window. Thanks to the bird feeders we were treated to a display which included woodpeckers, all types of Tit and even a Nuthatch. Lovely spot.

We stayed at this hotel for a week the location in the Borrowdale valley was lovely we were just a short walk from a landing stage where you could catch the boat to Keswick. The breakfast in the morning was excellent with plenty of choice. the dinner of the evening was good to very good maybe we could have had more dishes without chips! The staff were excellent and friendly. Our room was lovely with good views of the valley. Hotel was nice and clean. The only thing I found strange was to be asked to pay in advance for the accommodation something which has never been requested of me in the past 50 years of travelling against my better judgement I paid and everything was okay but I don't think I would do that in the futture.

Absolutely fabulous food every time! My husband had duck pate, I had soup and we both had chicken supreme. Also had Sunday roast on a previous visit which we'd highly recommend. Beer and wine are very, very good too.

Very disappointing. Been coming for Sunday lunch here for over 20 years. Usually very good standard and value for money. We were last here in Dec 22, but this lunch was very expensive and poor standard. Used to love coming here, but will not be coming again.

This is our second visit to the Mary Mount and it was just as great as the first time 10/10 for beautiful location 10/10 for lunch menu (we had a sausage ciabatta and scampi with chips) 10/10 for friendly fast welcoming service, big thank you to Hazel for looking after us and making my husbands 40th a lovely afternoon , will definitely be visiting regular especially in the summer to enjoy the outdoor seating area.

We walked past the hotel and noticed the ‘dog friendly’ sign so we called in - we had soup but we were confined to a very warm bar area. There was another walkers place but we weren’t allowed there - when we departed we noticed there were dog bowels in this walkers area. Soup was lovely

We visited in December for a family Christmas meal. It was a bittersweet day as it would be my father’s last Christmas so we wanted everything to be perfect. Mary Mount staff did not know this and our get together was a normal family gathering. The Christmas meal was fantastic. We had ordered in advance and everything came as expected and more. The prawn cocktail was a small luncheon in itself. When the turkey Christmas dinner arrived it looked and tasted fabulous. We have good appetite’s but no one finished and puddings were never a consideration. The staff were friendly and efficient but left you to enjoy your meal unhindered. Little touches like extra gravy jugs and individual cranberry sauce pots were lovely. The views are great and the numerous birds that are fed in the garden were delightful to watch. A set meal of 3 courses for £30 was great value. Thank you for a lovely day , couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We stopped here for lunch in the middle of a walk. Such a lovely place where muddy boots and wet dogs were welcomed which was great! We had hot sandwiches which were lovely and good value for money. A bit off the beaten track but a perfect pit stop on the way round Derwent Water

Faultless Sunday Roast... fantastic. I had turkey and my husband steak pie. I was a little worried as we didn't eat until 3pm thinking my turkey may have been hanging around for a while but needn't have worried as it was possibly the best turkey roast I've eaten. Chips with pie were fabulous too. Views are beautiful and we watched the birds on a bird feeder just outside our window. 5 stars.

We met with friends and family at the Mary Mount Hotel for lunch and as we had six Border Terriers between us, we were directed to the conservatory adjacent to the restaurant. This is a lovely room and we certainly didn’t feel sidelined. Our orders for drinks and food were taken by the very pleasant and efficient staff and the food did not disappoint; great steak pie, crispy scampi, and the hot baguette with chicken, Brie and bacon were just delicious. The weather outside was very heavy rain but this had eased off by the time we had spent a couple of very pleasant hours here.

A lovely terrace with a view of the lake - a great place to sit on a sunny day. Good food, currently a more basic menu because of covid restrictions (sadly no puddings). We very much enjoyed our visit.

Encantado de haber probado este restaurante dos veces una vez y luego nos encontramos con otras dos familias que quedaron igualmente impresionadas, fácilmente perdidas en automóvil en una curva y sin muchas opciones para dar la vuelta, estábamos caminando por la carretera y un genio del hotel Habíamos puesto un cartel en el bosque junto a un hueco en la pared, cruzamos la carretera y nos aventuramos a entrar.He visto la revisión más reciente que habla de ser recibido por el personal y desinfectar, etc.que no sucedió en ambas visitas, así que tenga en cuenta que simplemente camine por el pasillo (después de usar el gel desinfectante) y busque una mesa. En nuestra primera visita, había un bolígrafo y una nota en la mesa para escribir su pedido, el número de mesa y luego subir a una caja registradora central y pagar su comida, que era una maravilla. la mayoría de las personas usaban cubiertas para la cara mientras caminaban por el área según lo solicitado por un letrero y algunos no podían ser molestados y esto no fue cuestionado por varios miembros del personal, pero tengo entendido que estaban ocupados sirviendo comida, etc.Estuvimos encantados de saber que el pago era a mitad de precio debido a que era martes (el gobierno nos hizo comer en oferta) 15. 50 por pollo frito y patatas fritas con un poco de ajo puede parecer caro, pero por 7. 50 definitivamente una ganga! en realidad se llamaba escalope de pollo y papas fritas.Tuve esto en ambas visitas.Tenga en cuenta que goteaba mantequilla de ajo (consulte con la esposa, ja, ja)langostinos y papas fritas, Ciabatta de atún derretido, hice una Ciabatta especial de jamón y queso para mi hija (quisquillosa), picaduras de pollo y papas fritas, hamburguesas y papas fritas, jamón del tamaño del plato huevos y papas fritas, y sin olvidar la comida de bistec se veía y sabía delicioso. esto fue durante las dos visitas y probamos los postres, mi favorito era el helado de pudín de caramelo pegajoso.En la segunda visita, en realidad, un chico vino a tomar pedidos de bebidas, lo cual fue inusual, ya que la primera visita lo pagamos todo en el bar, esto nos puso en una situación, ya que éramos 3 familias en una mesa enorme y cuando subimos a pagar la comida, nos ofrecieron una pestaña abierta que personalmente no me gusta, no estoy seguro de por qué la cambiaron, ya que resultó que uno de nosotros pagó toda la factura de las bebidas con la incomodidad de cobrar el dinero más tarde, ¿Qué no sucedió en ese momento debido a la vergüenza de pedirle a sus amigos algunas libras?Todo esto podría evitarse si se ciñe a la paga en el bar (cada familia) y luego se le entregaran las bebidas y la comida como el día anterior. ¿No tengo idea de por qué sucedió eso y el chico detrás de la barra tampoco estaba seguro ya que el servicio de mesa no se usó el día anterior? Estoy seguro de que todos pueden averiguar por qué una pestaña de barra abierta sería mejor para ellos y no para los apostadores.No me puedo quejar de la comida, vino caliente y rápido, podría haberlo hecho con algunos condimentos más, 3 sobres de salsa de tomate, una mayonesa de vinagre, etc.no fue suficiente para una familia, pero aparentemente solo toman uno por bandeja que entregan y luego se han ido para siempre, vuelven a aclararse. la segunda visita llevamos a nuestros amigos, así que un grupo de 6 adultos y 6 niños necesitarían algunas salsas más, ¡ja, ja!ir un martes y un miércoles fue definitivamente un gran movimiento si tienes un presupuesto limitado, obtienes comida de alta calidad a un precio muy bajo, ¡ganas y el restaurante reclama la diferencia, gana, gana!En general, regresaré al distrito de los lagos y, si estuviera cerca del hotel, definitivamente regresaría y apreciaría que estos son tiempos extraños y todos estamos aprendiendo a lidiar con el covid ppe y el hotel está respondiendo bien. esperando la próxima visita.

Estábamos dando la vuelta al agua de Derwent y encontramos este lugar abierto a los visitantes, así que nos detuvimos para tomar un refresco. El personal fue amable y acogedor. Se le pidió que desinfectara y luego se sentara para que alguien tomara su pedido.Nos sentamos junto a las ventanas donde tienen numerosos comederos para pájaros y qué delicia resultaron ser. Vimos como pájaros carpinteros manchados menores, trepadores azules, jilgueros, cochinillas mayores y menores, currucas capirotes y numerosos tipos de gorriones se alimentaban a solo unos centímetros de distancia.Como resultado, tuvimos un almuerzo relajado y entretenido que fue excelente.Hay una hoja en papel y un bolígrafo sobre la mesa para los detalles de los visitantes y los números de teléfono, con suerte, la gente los completará correctamente.Los baños están disponibles pero siguen un sistema unidireccional.Al pagar su factura, prefieren el pago con tarjeta.

On there first day of re opening we were warmly welcomed by staff and all the hygiene instructions were explained enabling guests to enjoy there visit. Our lunch was freshly made and cooked and very enjoyable.

Called in for a beer and a sandwich after walking across Walla Crag. Just what the doctor ordered. Great beer and sandwich, ham on thick crusty bread with crisps and salad.

Excellent food and drinks served by friendly people. The view of the birds at the feeding stations was the highlight.

We both stopped off here during our Derwent Water walk for our lunch, the bacon and brie bagguette was outstanding including both the salad and chips. Great view from the dining area, very friendly staff.

Nos encantó este hotel. Excelente ubicación, encantador, personal encantador y comida realmente fantástica. Las vistas desde todas las ventanas eran espectaculares, incluso desde nuestra habitación, ¡incluso en un día húmedo! Recomendamos encarecidamente este hotel.Solo un ligero inconveniente; las almohadas grumosas y flojas de nuestra habitación, n. 38. Necesita ser reemplazado.Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta.

Nos detuvimos en Mary Mount en un día muy húmedo en un viaje anterior y nos pareció agradable y acogedor. Esta vez volvimos para un almuerzo tardío después de escalar Skidaw el día de Año Nuevo. Los sándwiches calientes eran muy abundantes e incluso tenían Gluhwein, ¡muy alpino! Tan bueno que volvimos para una comida completa al día siguiente, que fue igualmente agradable.Fantásticas vistas y fue muy entretenido ver a las aves acercarse al jardín gracias a los comederos para pájaros.

we called to the Mary mount today. very pleasantly surprised with the lovely new garden extension and entrance decor. We ordered the turkey pie off the specials menu. it was delicious huge portions we could of shared one!! gravy superb! def be back and enjoyed all the wild birds outside the windows. well worth a visit!!

Este es un gran lugar para alojarse y visitar Keswick. La habitación que teníamos estaba un poco cansada, pero eso en realidad se suma al carácter y se adapta a un hotel para caminantes. Tenía excelentes vistas del lago. Los jardines y los alrededores eran agradables en noviembre y sin duda serían fantásticos en la primavera. Hay un gran paseo alrededor del lago hacia Keswick, que es muy fácil caminar con buenos caminos y hay muchos desvíos a caminos más empinados para los más aventureros. La caminata que tomamos fue de alrededor de 7 millas con el paseo por Keswick y tomamos un autobús de regreso al hotel. La comida era excepcional por su precio y el pequeño bar que da la bienvenida a los perros era acogedor con una gran cantidad de cervezas y cervezas. Este es un lugar maravilloso para un descanso en cualquier época del año, se lo recomendaría a cualquiera.

Hotel about 15 minutes from Keswick along a narrow road following the Derwentwater. Stayed two nights upstairs in the new addition which had a great view of the lake. Parking a squeeze when Hotel is full. On site restaurant was pretty good and breakfast was quick and friendly. An afternoon drink was enjoyable. Took the Launch to Keswick which was very pleasant. Explored the Lodore Falls not far from the Hotel across the road. A very pleasant stay.

Desde llegar hasta salir, qué placer. Incluso mostró RWC Final. Recibido con una cálida bienvenida y llevado a nuestra enorme habitación con excelentes vistas amplias todas las comodidades que cabe esperar. Gran acceso a todo lo que es Derwent Water a solo 8 taxis a Keswick si te apetece tomar una copa por la noche. Desayuno sustancial fruta cereal tostadas bollos mermelada marmita e inglés completo con especialidades diarias incluidas. Excelentes vistas del lago y jardines bien cuidados. Personal muy atento en tanques y restaurante. Se admiten perros, muy buenos abetos con amigos de cuatro patas. Altamente recomendado.

Lovely dinner, and breakfast, which was a bit cold. Not enough staff on for breakfast, we should have sent the breakfast back but by the time anyone came for my husbands plate, it was stone cold anyway.

Popped in for a soup of the day and a drink, as recommended by the National Trust representative who was at Kettlewell Carpark. What a delight! Calm, welcoming, friendly!

Firstly, the booking process for the restaurant was a little odd. When booking, we booked for the date and number of people, however the gentleman didn't ask for a time, when I asked him if he wanted to know what time we were wanting to have our table he said "if you like" However, when we arrived, we realised we were the only people who had booked a table. It seemed they heavily rely on people who are staying at the hotel.

Stopped for lunch after a walk along Derwenter and were warmly received. Beautiful views across the lake and the hills. The first day we had steak and risotto with mushrooms. Started off with crispy duck spring rolls. Excellent service and superbly cooked food topped off with sticky toffee pudding and local ice cream. Second lunch had the same steak again excellent. Our second dish on day two was a gammon steak, which probably should have been sent back, tough and chewy, but flavorful.

My first visit to the Lake District and this place was recommended for food. Ended up having lunch here twice as the food was so nice. Had toasted ciabatta with Brie and local chutney, chips and salad both times. Sat outside with the dog as the weather was warm with lovely views over Derwent Water. Would happily return here for food.

I travel here by bus from Newcastle with Murphy my dog. As soon as we get off the bus he gets so excited knowing we are back to stay at our favourite hotel. All the staff including the manager do everything in their power to make us welcome. I feel like I’m staying with family members not strangers. Food is plentiful and consistently good.

We did not stay here but my wife and I stopped by for a birthday lunch with my 94yr old mother in law today and were more than a little impressed by the surroundings and the quality of the meal. I had the Cumberland sausage and onion Ciabatta which was fabulous. However, my MIL doesn’t have a huge appetite and I felt I had to assist her by demolishing half of her bacon and Brie Ciabatta which was absolutely delightful and I would highly recommend it! BTW, the chips were huge and beautiful too. All in all, we thought it was one of the best hotel/pub lunches for a long time. We will return soon.

Excellent Tuna Niçoise salad, huge portion and service very good. Definitely returning! Fantastic views over lake Derwentater and arrived via the ferry 👍🏼😁

Great food!! The roast Lamb I had, cooked to perfection, great selection of seasonal veg and plenty of it. My favourite being the gravy, real Lamb taste, thick, in fact it's making me hungry right now. My partner had the Beef, which I had the opportunity to try, again superb.

On a busy lunchtime, we were served quickly by friendly, welcoming staff. Sat outside - extensive areas in and outside to choose from. Well-made sandwiches with accompanying salad bowls, tasty and satisfying.

In the past year I’ve been to many pubs/restaurants and I have been pleased to have given good reviews of many excellent meals. I get annoyed with myself for having selected a place and being disappointed because I failed to check the reviews in advance. After my wife and chose their huntsman’s chicken we both agreed that we could have done better ourselves or purchased the Cook Shops version which is excellent. The chicken was served with thick bacon and rather bizarrely mozzarella cheese on top accompanied by big chips and a small dish of salad. I had hoped for some fresh vegetables. On arrival I asked a staff member if they would clear the table to which he replied “I have dozens more to do”
