“The setting here is truly something to behold, a landscape that invites you out onto the fells before drawing you back in for a pint and a hearty meal. Inside, a sense of comfortable history prevails, from the well-appointed residents' lounge to the lively climbers' bar, all contributing to a profoundly authentic Lake District experience. Meals, particularly the steak and ale pie and sticky toffee pudding, hit the spot perfectly after a day in the elements, and the breakfast, with its kippers and perfectly poached eggs, is a notable highlight. This place feels like a genuine escape, where the simple pleasures of good food, a comfortable bed, and an unparalleled location combine to create a rewarding stay.”
