The Old Ginn House Inn

In the small village of Great Clifton, on the west coast of the Cumbrian Lake District, this charming inn was converted from a 17th-century farmstead and offers comfortable, characteristic accommodation.

The Old Ginn House has a cosy lounge where you can relax with comfy sofas and chairs, television and a choice of books and magazines. For the warmer months, there is a patio in the courtyard.

Meals are served in the Mediterranean-style dining areas, while the Ginn Room offers a well-stocked bar.

The Old Ginn House provides an ideal base for business guests, or for those visiting the unspoilt Western Lake District and the Solway Coast.

The bar will close between 22:30 and 00:00 each evening, depending on demand.
