The residents' lounge has an open log fire, and the Climbers' Bar hosts a regular Wednesday folk club and occasional live music events. Darts, board games, and puzzles are available for guests in the bar. Yoga classes take place on the property, providing a different activity for guests.

The hotel is a base for Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England, and other popular trails in the Langdale Valley. Guests can visit Lake Windermere or explore Coniston Water by traditional motor launch. The Sticklebarn And The Langdales National Trust site is a 15-minute walk from the hotel.
