Great to be able to park right next to the Inn. Early check in and able to leave car on last day so could go for another walk in the area. All staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely room, (room 2) overlooking the front. Quiet, comfortable bed, free toiletries and plenty of tea/coffee etc in room. Great evening meal and great choice for breakfast each morning. Sold ice creams too which was just the job after a long walk around the Langdales on what was a very hot day. Will definitely stay again and recommend.

The bar was just about the cosiest bar that I've ever been in, small but plenty of overspill rooms that each had a fire. The staff were all really friendly and helpful, I've just had a hip operation and a particularly helpful Polish lady helped me up and downstairs with cases.

Great basic rooms for walkers woth dogs. Rooms are comfortable warm and showers are excellent. The breakfasts are fabulous and a great way to fuel up for a day of walking. Great pub food during the day and evening too. Superb location where walkers can walk a number of beautiful routes direct from the front door.
