Inspected by Visit England Logo
Visit England Logo Inspector comments
"Accomplished combination of old and new in Lake District village."
Overview
Located in the stunning Lyth Valley alongside the village church and within easy reach of many walks, this historic Inn dates back to 1829, when it was also used as a blacksmith's shop. It has since been appointed to provide excellent standards of comfort with modern facilities. Its sumptuous bedrooms have a wealth of thoughtful extras, and flavoursome dishes are served in the elegant restaurant or in the rustic-style bar with its open fires. A warm welcome and professional service are assured.

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.
