Visit England Logo Inspector comments
"Surrounded by glorious Dales countryside, a welcoming and comfy inn"
Overview
A popular stop for motor clubs, this charming 17th-century inn is full of character, with solid stone walls, open fires, and an impressive collection of memorabilia displayed throughout the bar. The comfortable bedrooms are all en suite, including an accessible ground-floor room with a well-appointed wet room. Guests can choose between dining in the traditional bar or the more formal restaurant, where well-cooked dishes showcasing local produce are served. A pleasant beer garden offers additional space to relax in warmer weather.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
