Would I stay at the Trout Hotel Lakes District again?
We would definitely stay at the Trout Hotel Cockermouth again and use it as our base while in the Lakes District. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and fresh and our room was spacious.
We loved nothing more than sitting outside, relaxing with a drink while listening to the river flow after a long day exploring and whiskey tasting in the outdoor Lakes District area.

This sounds like the perfect hotel for an English weekend getaway. First of all, the view of the river is spectacular. I could just put up a tent and still love waking up to that. The idea of staying in a semi-luxurious hotel is therefore a welcome surprise. You have completely sold it to me, especially with the level of detail in the room interior fittings and the great food as well! I am surprised with the service and amenities as the hotel looks so humble from the outside!
This was a lovely place, it was so nice going back there after hiking for the day. Once I do those hiking boots off I didn’t want to move, I loved not having to move from there.
I’ve not been here before but it’s a place I would love to visit. The idea of viewing a beautiful lake from your room is so lovely. Imagine waking up each morning to see such view, your day will just be perfect. Also, I like the interior decor of the hotel and the restaurant. Not many hotels would offer touring activities to its guests, but for a fair price, the hktyel does. It’s amazing. Guess that’s why The Trout Hotel is different and worth visiting in a lifetime
It was a lovely place to stay in and great to come back to after hiking and the gen tour. The bed was super comfy too which I loved.
The name alone of this hotel intices me to visit, but why is there no trout on the menu! Thank you for the tip on the hiring a car to get there; I always thought you could visit the Lake District by train. Your breakfast looks delicious, and I love afternoon tea! The place looks stunning, I would stay here.
You can definitely catch a train here but I always like to drive especially if you love road trips. This was a pretty place and I loved sitting next to the window and watch the water flow by.
What a lovely looking area and hotel. I love the detials of the room. Definitely sounds like a perfect weekend break away. I love Gin so I would definitely take a visit there.
The room was lovely and big, I struggled to get out of bed one day it was so comfy 🙂 I highly recommend The Trout Hotel.
Ok, now I want to go to the Trout Hotel. The rooms are lovely, the food looks delicious, and the surroundings are a knock out. This is going on my list when I visit the Lakes District. Such a charming spot!
I love going to the Lakes District there is so much to do and see there. The problem is deciding on what to do and see. The hotel was really charming and nice to go back to at the end of the day exploring.
I am always looking for places to take my wife to stay while I am out hiking. I think I found it. Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it out next time I’m up that way. Tks
This would be a great place for your wife to enjoy, while you’re out hiking. Especially the spa or afternoon tea.
Gorgeous getaway spot and the hotel is beautiful. The afternoon tea and interior decor all look amazing and really adds a sense of sophistication to the whole experience. Those trails looks relaxing and fun to do. Great post and thanks for sharing.
It was a really nice hotel and reasonably priced for what you got. I really enjoyed coming back here in the afternoon and just relaxing with a glass of wine.
When I stayed in the Lake District, my accommodation was a tent pitched on a soggy field. I would have loved the opulence of staying the Trout hotel after spending days hiking with my uni’s Duke of Edinburgh’s society. The Egyptian cotton and shower facilities would have been a pleasure to return to after getting muddy and sweaty on the hiking trails!
I have also camped in the Lakes District, so I definitely understand what you are saying. I have to admit, I really enjoyed coming back to the hotel after hiking.
i really honor MelBteavel team those focus World best travel logistics dedicated to promoting World Tourism and inspiring travelers for traveling at least one time in lifetime !

Wow
How could I not be aware of how beautiful Cumbria’s Lake district is?
Going to my wish list NOW!
Lakes District Cumbria is such a beautiful place to visit. It was lovely going back to the hotel at night and relaxing after exploring.
Perfect weekend away idea… I better hit up the hubby.
I definitely recommend it 🙂
I have been tempted to visit the Lake District since it was upgraded to a UNESCO site. The Trout Hotel looks like the perfect place to stay on this visit! The eating and drinking options at the hotel look perfect especially the Derwent Resturant. You can’t beat the location, the lake district is beautiful!
I love going to the Lakes District and this was a great spot to relax after hiking for the day. I hope you get there one day
Wow, this looks like THE place to stay in the Lakes! Admittedly, I only know about The Lakes District from Pride and Prejudice. Your pictures are stunning and I think it would be absolutely wonderful to visit and stay in such affordable luxury!
The luxury district and the hotel were both really nice places, I highly recommend them for a long weekend.
This is really a perfect place for weekend break with peaceful surroundings. I can sit besides the lovely lakes and rivers in Lake District for hours. Hiking along the Scafell Pike must be a beautiful experience. Hotel Trout also looks like a comfortable stay in between the nature.
I love going to the Lakes District and hiking up in the mountains, it is just such a beautiful place. I would definitely go back and stay at Trout Hotel
Sounds like the perfect place to stay in the Lake District. It’s a while since I’ve been there but I remember how picturesque the area is!
It is definitely a beautiful area and the hotel was really nice. It was nice sitting along the water outside the hotel having a wine
This looks beautiful!!! I’m going to the Lake District in a couple of weeks and this made me so excited. I’ve got accommodation for this trip but I’ll definitely have to keep this in mind for the next time. It’s not so far to go from Scotland :).
You can always pop in and have lunch and look around, it is lovely hotel
The hotel looks so elegant, I love the modern decor of the bedroom in the classic one of the restaurant. Th garden looks lovely as well, perfect to enjoy an afternoon tea with a view. I am planning on going to the Lake District sometime soon, I will definitely take in consideration staying at the Trout Hotel.
That’s a lovely honest review of the Trout Hotel. The rooms look luxurious,and having a his and her sink, makes it even better.
The food spread looks promising, but the best part is the picturesque location.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it 🙂 It was a lovely place to relax.
With views that gorgeous, a room that luxurious and afternoon tea… Who would pass down an opportunity to stay here? I’ve never been to The Lake District but as soon as I get the chance, I will! I might even stay here!
Definitely, add this to your list of places to visit 🙂
Delicious meal wins brownie points for any hotel and your picture proves that this one served some great food. The river view would have been refreshing. And of all the things I would like to go to the Lake District for it is a UNESCO site.
Thank you very much and I hope that you get to go there one day.
Looks like this place has it all: great location, lots of things to do, and great food. Add the whiskey distillery nearby, and I know that I won’t have any difficulties to convince my husband to stay here! Lakes District has been on my radar for a long time, thanks for sharing this beautiful place, Melissa.
Jurga you and your boys would love it there, especially hiking up in the mountains and doing activities on the lakes.
I think I may have just zeroed in on the perfect place to stay in the Lakes District Cumbria. That breakfast of eggs on toast has made me fall in love with eggs! What a wonderful location… I would come back so refreshed.
This is a grand place to stay and the bed was super comfy.
