Lovely inn dating back to 1688. Food was delicious and the rooms were cosy. For those who are on the taller side, it's worth noting that as part of the charm of a building built in the 1600's, you will find yourself having to duck underneath the doorframes!

Beautiful room

The Horse and Farrier is a great old building with lots of character. The weather was poor when we arrived so couldn’t really see the views unfortunately. Our room, which I believe has been newly renovated was gorgeous. Really tastefully decorated to compliment the original features like the wood beams. The bathroom had a stunning freestanding claw foot bath. A special mention to Keith who is super attentive and professional to customers. Would recommend the Horse and Farrier.

A gem for an overnight stay

A very friendly and helpful Landlord and Landlady who made us feel very welcome. The twin room was relatively small but perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The bath towels are outstanding in size and fluffiness!! The breakfast was very good in deed. Overall - excellent value for money. Highly recommended for an overnight stay with a hearty home cooked breakfast.

Quaint Cottage in The Lakes

Fantastic cottage, just 5 miles from Keswick. Small and quaint, everything you need for a week away. Kitchen well stocked, private outside area to sit and chill of an evening. To big bedrooms, one with an ensuite plus a main bathroom. Real value for money!! I would strongly recommend and stay!
