A charming pub B&B with real character. The room was cozy and spotless, and the warm welcome from the staff made us feel instantly at home. Great food, excellent atmosphere, and a wonderfully relaxing stay. Plenty of parking and dog friendly too (make sure you book a standard double room which are let friendly) Highly recommended!

This hotel ticked all the boxes for comfort, cleanliness, friendly staff, cozy bar and resident's lounge, delicious food, lush towels and linen. Fabulous evening meals very reasonably priced. Five stars throughout. Would definitely be back
What a charming property. An old inn so it should be expected it is not modern but has been sensitively maintained. Staff were helpful and the manager was very hospitable. Food was exceptional. If you want a more traditional stay in a lovely location within the Lakes I would recommend
Beautiful place to stay in a very beautiful area of the Lake District. Room was perfect staff and service was amazing. Food was also lovely will definitely be staying again when I visit the area

Great place to stay and we would happily rebook next time we are in the area. The staff were lovely, and the food ( breakfast and dinner was good )
A nice bijou room tastefully decorated, comfortable and clean.
Would definitely stay again.
Breakfast was very good too.
We had an evening meal at night and would highly recommend booking ahead too.
Warm cosy room with great views. Fantastic breakfast and dinner the evening before in an atmospheric traditional pub. Great friendly staff and in a great location.
Fantastic place to stay with stunning views. The staff were so lovely, helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough to make us welcome and ensure our stay was enjoyable.
A very welcoming inn with friendly, helpful staff and a warm atmosphere. Bedroom was a bit basic but very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts are absolutely superb!
