“The Strickland Arms iappeats to be the heart of this lovely village, serving the local community, whether it is in the pub or as part of its takeaway service. The beds in the log yurt we stayed in were so comfy too..... I didn’t want to get up! However, the breakfast made it worth my while!” Read more

“Very friendly and helpful staff Excellent food both breakfast and evening”

“The hosts were very welcoming. We had been walking in the rain and so the heated rails in the bedrooms were particularly welcome. There was a very wide ranging menu and the food was homemade and tasty.”

“Good breakfast and a nice evening meal with lots of choice”

“We had a very enjoyable evening at the Strickland Arms with a meal, a glass or two and then an excellent breakfast. Thanks the to hosts!”

“Everything was as expected in this testing time staff were very good and social distancing was observed mostly by guests with a few exceptions of the locals which did make things a little uncomfortable overall would love to go back. Well done”

“I found the Strickland Arms to be a really nice place to stay. The owners/managers and staff were really friendly and helpful but not over the top and there was a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere about the place. They've also implemented a sensible covid-19 compliant system which was very reassuring. The room and building were full of character and the food was very good too especially the breakfast. I liked the fact that the breakfast was included in the price as it's often an "extra". There's a very well stocked bar which I made good use of too. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay there and would book again.” Read more

“We stayed in the log byre at the rear of the pub. The beds were supremely comfortable and we all had a great night’s sleep. Fantastic breakfast freshly cooked in the morning.”

“This was our second stay at the Strickland Arms. We booked to return as we enjoyed our first stay so much. We stayed in the pods/ cabins, the room was really clean and beds super comfy. We ate our dinner in the pub with a few drinks, my husband is still talking about the homemade pie! The cooked breakfast is freshly made to order with home made bread and is amazing. The owners Anton and Penny are welcoming and friendly. We also have to mention that they went out of their way to get our daughters favourite teddy bear back to her by post after she left it behind which meant a lot to us The location is great too - about a 20 minute drive to Pooley bridge a lovely village on Ullswater and not far to Lowther Castle.” Read more
