Positive Reviews

Excellent Hospitality and Location

Richard the host, and his wife attracted a great deal of praise from guests who stayed here, and evidently did everything possible to help them enjoy their visit. Guests comment that this is an excellent position for a circular walk to Troutbeck and over Wansfell Pike.

First Class Breakfast

The breakfast was varied and delicious, cooked perfectly, and just the thing to set guests up for a day of walking and exploring the region. It is a short walk to shops and a good selection of pubs and restaurants, including an excellent Thai restaurant, where evening meals can be had for reasonable prices.

Spotless Each Day

The four poster room at the top of the house was spacious. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day, and the spa bath was great for relaxation after the day's exertions. Wi-Fi and TV were very good.

Negative Reviews

Technological Temperament

Wanslea attracted very few criticisms, one thing was that the Wi-Fi was temperamental in the 3rd floor room as the signal was very low, however it it worked fine in the downstairs lounge area.

Parking

There is limited parking on the side but if it is full you can just park down the road.

Some Investment Would Be of Benefit

The bathroom could have been finished a bit better, one could not stand for showering as it does not have any wall mounting but sits on the bath. One or two of the beds may be due for renewal as springs made themselves felt! The four poster was not the most comfortable either.
