Great stay on the C2C - Rating 4/5
I really appreciate Anthony’s patience as I changed my reservations the last three years. I would give the F&H a 4/5.The pros:Great location for the C2CGreat food and barRooms were largeShower had pressure and hot waterRooms were very cleanStaff were excellent: helpful and friendlyThe con:Breakfast needs a little work. I would suggest a self-service for: juice, coffee/tea, cold cereal, yogurts, toast etc and menu selection for hot prepared foods.Not a show stopper by any means, but would take the F&H to the next level.

A lovely break - Rating 4/5
We stayed in room 2, a lovely spacious room with large bathroom. The room was very warm and comfortable, the bathroom was practical and functional but in need of updating. We are working our way through the Wainwright walks and this pub was a brilliant base. The locals were warm and friendly the Ennerdale beer was absolutely superb. We ate in the pub on the first night, the food was good home cooked fayre. On balance i would recommend a delightful stay at the Fox and Hounds. Many thanks for a lovely break see you again soon.

Pickle was very happy. - Rating 5/5
We stayed for just the one night, chosen initially because they allow dogs to stay in the rooms. Pickle, our working cocker was made to feel extremely welcome & therefore we had a very relaxed enjoyable stay too. Great local real ales, lovely meals & breakfast, very friendly & helpful staff, would certainly recommend to others & stay again if we were in the area.

Late Break - Rating 4/5
We spent a three night break at the F & H in late November, the rooms and beds were clean, the staff helpful, courteous and friendly.The breakfasts were really good in both quality and quantity of items on the plate, we also chose to dine in the evenings at the Inn and weren't disappointed with the quality of the fare on offer nor the value for money.The icing on the cake was the range of real ales served at the bar.We would not hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone contemplating a break in this area of the Lake District.Almost forgot to mention our dog was made welcome too.

Great stay in a friendly, relaxed pub - Rating 5/5
We stayed for 3 nights on a walking trip with some of the worst weather the Lakes can throw at you! Really friendly and approachable staff and good hearty food after a day's soaking.Lovely room which was clean and warm.Good base for exploring the Western Lakes.

Peace and quiet - Rating 5/5
We have travelled quite regularly to the Western lakes and stayed a little further North than Ennerdale but when we spotted the Fox and Hounds online, we thought, why not give it a try. Glad we did. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we stepped into the pub. The accommodation was a good size and the bed provided a cracking nights sleep.The Ennerdale brewery ale served in the pub was delicious and so was the freshly cooked food. All in all, a great place to stay and somewhere we will definitely be returning to.

Well-run community pub - Rating 5/5
Ennerdale Bridge is a critical first-night destination for most Coast-to-Coast walkers so the three rooms at the Fox and Hounds are very popular during the walking season.This is a superb pub, tucked away in an attractive corner of the village opposite the church with a babbling beck alongside.The pub was rescued a few years ago by the community and has been excellently restored, and it is efficiently run with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.Our room and bathroom were comfortable and spacious.There were plenty of people eating and drinking, and the food was good both in the evening and at breakfast too.Check out the website then go and stay at this lovely place.

Basically, I can't say much about it. I had a great rest before walking into the lake district and eventually finished my Coast to Coast. Without staying in Fox and Hounds, I would be regretted as a wonderful trip needed a good start.

Nice place - Rating 4/5
A warm welcome and a lovely room for our walking trip. Facilities were also in good condition.We had dinner and breakfast too which were fine. Possibly could be a little more interesting. My pork pie ploughman's could have had a homemade pie rather than a couple of mini shop bought ones, salad dressing, a bit mean on the bread too? Breakfast was pre ordered the night before and was a one of everything approach which feels a bit unadventurous. Nothing wrong with the food but an upgrade would make the difference between good and excellent.

One Night on the Coast to Coast Walk - Rating 5/5
My father and I stayed on the second day of the Coast to Coast walk in the middle of winter. We were very impressed by the standard of the room and the full English Breakfast was excellent. They were very accommodating and helpful even though this was the middle of winter and we were the only ones staying that night. Ennerdale Bridge is a highly underrated village and would recommend it for anyone wishing to stay in the area.

So Helpful - Rating 5/5
The staff at The Fox and Hounds couldn't have been more accommodating! We had originally booked a twin room, but at the last minute a 3rd friend wanted to join us, so a quick phone call ensured he was booked in. We all had a good, hearty evening meal with a good selection of real ales. We were keen to set off early in the morning (walking in the rain) so Chef cooked us an early breakfast! Many thanks to all the helpful, friendly staff at Fox and Hounds.

They don\'t come any better! - Rating 5/5
Stayed on a Sunday night in November in this exceptional country pub. The staff were friendly and welcoming and our room was comfortable and spacious. We were delighted to find our en suite roon contained a bath instead of the ubiquitous shower. We loved the small touches such as chocolates on the pillows and a tray on a bedside table containing a dozen coffee sachets, four types of tea sachets, more chocolate and biscuits.The meals were really good and the beers from the local Ennerdale Brewery were just the job, especially the Ennerdale Blonde.We thought £60 for a double ensuite room, with breakfast, was very good value, only to be told that they now planned to offer two nights for the price of one, until March! Needless to say we plan to go back.
