What a fabulous place and just a couple of miles out of Windermere. The Inn has a great atmosphere and the speciality ales are just what you need after along day of hiking. The rooms are great, superclean and very comfortable. To top it all, the cooked breakfasts in the morning were both hearty and delicious.
Thr staff were also super helpful too. This was the first time we have stayed here but will definitely come again. Would highly recommend, especially perfect for dog owners.

After a soaking on my motorbike I was welcomed with a warm smile & an offer of drying out my motorbike gear overnight. A warm cosy restaurant served delicious food & a much needed cold beer couldn’t ask for more
