Now on our forth stay at the Cuckoo, plus many great meals. Its in a perfect location and should be one of the jewels in the lake districts crown...However, hotel is now room only with option of a quite expensive breakfast, this makes for a quite expensive stay. This would be ok if the hotel was not so tired...the stables area should be shut with all the old, tired and dirty furniture shown away, this is not shabby chic, its just shabby. Bar was empty at 9.30 both on Friday and Saturday evenings..on previous visits it was packed with locals..this may also tell a story.. The tower bank arms in Near Sawrey was full.. the staff in the Cuckoo seemed reluctant to serve with more staff than bar customers. The management and owners need to take urgent action, a full deep clean would help the situation...I would hate to see the Cuckoo become another boarded up pub
