Called into this pub for a drink and to check the place out for a possible dining place to eat on the way to Haweswater Hotel. We were instantly put off by the fact dogs were allowed in the same bar area where customers were dining. Needless to say we didn’t go back to eat. The ladies toilets were lovely,... More

I had a fabulous stay here during a snowy walking trip earlier this year. My room was wonderful. Plush furnishings, tastefully decorated and with an enormous bathroom that sported an elegant free-standing bath and fabulous water pressure and temperatures. A touch of class making me feel like I had walked off the hillside into heaven! The menu for dinner is... More

Just returned from a two night stay which we really enjoyed. The rooms are very clean with great comfy bed and lovely Victorian bath -and bags of hot water! The bar is cosy and we had no problem getting food quickly. Both evening meals were extremely good and we were looked after well. I would definitely stay again.

Although we did not stop here we booked a table for Saturday evening meal. It. Di seem a little chaotic with only a small eating area and the bar full of locals out for a beer. There were only two staff and it took quite some time to get menus to us. There was a good choice, especially vegitarian options.... More

On C2c walk stayed here, it is off the trunk and you have to get a lift or taxi, not much fun at the end of a really hard day from Patterdale, when the rain did not stop. Did get a lift next day to rejoin track, but there are no alternatives unless you walk to Shap which would a... More
