It was great to find a place that has really embraced the C2C trail - up until Shap most hotels & lodges make their living out of people walking in the Lakes but Scott and the rest of the team (whom we didn't meet) are determined to make an impact and should be congratulated on their efforts to days and...

After a miserable day walking we arrived very late and needed food and warmth. Scott was so welcoming and helpful. We'd missed the evening meal but weren't really feeling up to going out. Scott seemed to sense this and earned our love for kindly offering to throw together possibly the best beans and cheese on toast I'd ever had, followed... More

If there is anybody out there who wants to have a moan about 'the youth of today', head for New Ing Lodge and see what today's youth are capable of. These brothers are brimming with ideas to make this rambling old building into something really special. It isn't smart in any way, but the welcome is warm, the breakfasts are... More

Thank you to all all the Lodge I had an excellent stay. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for us. The rooms were great and the breakfast was excellent. Bike storage was no problem and dropping kit off in advance was really helpfully for us. Keep up the good work.

I had a fantastic stay at New Ing Lodge and would highly recommend a visit. More charm and character than anywhere I've stayed before. The owners are incredibly attentive to your needs and make you feel at home throughout. They should win awards for the breakfast alone and they even have their own chickens in the grounds providing enough eggs... More

The toilets/showers are clean and modern (3 between the 2 dorm rooms). The... More

I stayed here whilst doing the coast to coast and found it to have all I needed, the man at the hostel even dropped me down at the pub

This is a brilliant overnight stop for especially coast to coasters. The staff were extremely friendly, the accommodation was comfortable, but best of all, they locally source their food, so the breakfast was just brilliant. We were made welcome the moment we arrived, and the staff constantly aimed to please, I would have NO hesitation in using this facility again,... More

My two sons and I stayed B&B only one night at the NEW ING prior to camping by the lakes.What a joy to still find the kind of hospitality I remember from my younger days.These owners hit the spot when hosting,with good catering,helpful advise and leave you feeling that you have been staying with friends.
