Was in desperate need for dinner after over a 4 hour journey and we thought we'd give this pub a try. It was a wonderful welcome from the staff and very friendly throughout. We had the homemade pie and the chicken burger, both being excellent meals. Would definitely pop in again!
It isn't a hotel in the sense of you classifying it as a hotel but it is a place to sleep more akin to a place slightly better than a youth hostel. If you were a business man you would be annoyed if your work booked it as a hotel. You wouldn't expect to pay more than 30 per night for the rooms because they're not worth it. The beer is five quid a pint too. The food was nice but if I booked a week there I'd be unhappy and wished I'd gone for a premier inn. Nothing wrong with it, it just isn't the quality I would normally go for.
Stayed for a night in a small room with windows that don't close properly. There was heating, but it automatically turns off at some point through the night, so I woke up feeling really cold. The room was also very noisy, both from some fans outside the hotel and from other nearby rooms. I had dinner with them and the food was just average: no terrible, but nothing to write home about. However, the breakfast is fatty and tasteless and should be avoided. I was also told there would be croissants and pastries and there were none. I would rate this 3 stars if it hadn't been for an incident where they told me I can leave my luggage for a few hours the following day, but then wanted me to pay for this the following morning, in cash and without getting a receipt. Take this as you will.
Searching for a meal late on Sunday evening in Windermere - everywhere crowded plus we had our dog with us. 'The Grey Walls' pub promised a place to rest and chill, which was what we really needed, having driven 300 miles that day. Dogs welcome. It was perfect for our needs and we were still able to get a Sunday roast at that time. The meal was hot, tasty and good honest pub grub, reasonably priced. We sat in their'secret' outside area enjoying the cooler air and the sunset. Now this is no Ritz, but honest food, drinks which is what we were looking for. And we didn't have to sit amongst the traffic fumes like other dog owners were doing. Didn't get 5 stars because the place could do with a make over, but the young lady who served us was efficient, helpful and above all, friendly! Many thanks!
Great food, great atmosphere, great staff and make you feel very welcome, plenty of food on the plate, even the kids struggle to Finish the smaller portion. Pool table is a little old and unloved but it still works and is good enough for the kids to mess about.
