United KingdomA lovely family run hotel with traditional values and home cooking. Felt very safe.
United KingdomGréât location, free parking, no extra charge for a dog. Nice welcome, very clean.
United KingdomThe level of accommodation was ideal for a father and son here for a day's fell walking. The hotel was only about a mile or two from our walk start (Honister slate mine). We liked the friendliness of the landlady and the courtesy and attention given to us by the waiter. Dining and sitting arrangements had been carefully worked out in line with Covid 19 requirements. The full English breakfast was fine (more toast and coffee if we had wanted) and the evening meal was to our liking. The room was quite adequate and the beds comfortable. Tea /coffee making facility was a nice touch.
United KingdomQuiet beck side location with great staff in close proximity to Sca fell and other great mountain routes. Good value for money unlike many rip off merchants around. Felt very homely and nice. Thank you team.
Hong KongAn excellent stay for location and value for money.
United KingdomUnique with a warm welcome, nothing was a problem and food was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

Traditional Cumberland Longhouse, once a farm & miner's tavern serving the needs of tired walkers since William Wordsworth shared a cot with a scotch pedlar! A mountain style hostelry, more catered chalet than boutique hotel.
