Modestly sized, warmly decorated, homely and comfortable. Meticulously clean, generously sized rooms. The staff were absolutely outstanding - responsive to the minutest request even though the bar and restaurant were overflowing with visitors on what must have been one of the busiest weekends of the year. Breakfast was super and promptly served. Dinner menu had a broad selection of starters, mains and deserts. Food was really good.

We loved our stay here, the staff were really lovely, very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size, it was very clean and comfortable with good facilities. A continental breakfast is available in the coffee shop, there’s a good selection of items for a reasonable cost. There are some lovely walks from the hotel, we did a circular route of Helvellyn from the doorstep. The hotel is super dog friendly and very accommodating. They don’t do evening meals but the Kings Head is a few minutes up the road and do great food.

We were happy on the whole with our room but did have to ask for toilet paper as there wasn’t any in the bathroom and milk to make tea/coffee. Also the sink area in the bathroom was not clean. We enjoyed our evening meal and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We loved the location, peaceful during the night, but a nice cosy feel during the day. The food was excellent. We had breakfast and dinner over our three night stay and would recommend the food highly. The bedroom (No 3) had a very comfortable bed and modern bathroom, which was great.

The pub has a challenge to climb Gowbarrow Hill.

The pub has a challenge to climb Gowbarrow Hill. We did it before breakfast and there were beautiful views from the top. There are walks from the village but a car is needed if you are going further afield in the Lake District.
