    A absolute gem of a find 💎 Great drinks selection & food too. What really sells Hawkshead brewery is the staff (amazing) locals & atmosphere also the live music. The vibe is a one to be matched! My partner & I travel the lakes often but Hawkshead brewery has become one of our favourites, fast. we have visited here several times in the last couple of months as you are always guaranteed a good night.

    Myself and a group of my friends visit Ambleside several times a year & we always visit The Rule. We’ve been making the trip for over 30 years & the pub has hardly changed in all that time.
    The cask beer is always spot on and you can hear yourself talk. Great pub.

    Another excellent stay at The Brittania inn. The rooms are comfortable and warm, the staff are friendly, the food is excellent and the bar is cosy. What more could you ask?

    What a fantastic pub!! We all had a fantastic day/night in here. The atmosphere was fantastic and everyone was friendly. Whether they were staff working, or visitors from afar.
    The beer’s on offer were brilliant!! Fantastic selection!! We were even allowed to bring our take away food in (for when we got home) after a very enjoyable day!! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

    Very interesting place to stay
    Loved the decor of the bar and restaurant area lots of different colours and wallpaper all worked well together
    Staff superb truly I know most reviews praise the staff but these really are the best

    Downsides
    Check in haphazard as in there is no dedicated area for it , it’s just bumble into the bar and ask
    Sunday evening was spoilt by the “ pub singer” VERY loud so loud that sat side by side could not hear each other talk !! Fortunately it finished at 8pm a relief for sure I play in a band so I know noise levels and that was crazy !!

    Food

    Ate twice late lunch and dinner both fab highly recommend the street food very good and great value and big portions too ( too much for us ) but everyone’s different !
    Breakfast was also large and tasty plenty to satisfy everyone I’d say

    Room

    Big very well equipped en-suite etc
    Bed small even though a double it was crowned so one too many roll overs and you’d be in the floor !!
    Room very hot but was a fan provided so that was in permanently

    There is car parking but it’s not obvious and you really need instructions to find it !

    All in all a good stay few improvements and be top class !

    We’ve eaten here before when walking the Pennine Way and it was a really nice pub in a great location
    Unfortunately when I visited yesterday whilst on the C2C cycle ride it was closed down. I was told it’s been sold and will reopen in July 2019. I hope so

    Visited in early December whilst on an overnight stop in Kendal, great rustic feel to the bar and some fantastic craft beers but the highlight for me was the sourdough pizza they are so good we had to go back to the trailer for another. Highly recommended 👍😊

    Friendly local feel with quality ale and fantastic pizzas 🍻🍕
    We popped in for a quick pre-cinema drink and ended up having one of the best pizzas I’ve had. Simple, quality, delicious.
