Lovely, quiet and scenic bed and breakfast. Exactly what we were looking for to explore the western fells of the Lake District. Food was excellent both at breakfast and dinner. We loved the cosy decor and charming character of the building. Staff all friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Will be coming to stay again.

Lovely hotel within beautiful setting. Excellent value for money. Foods delicious 😋 exceptional Cumbrian breakfast and plenty of options, evening meal also delightful. Staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. Room was basic but very clean and functional, excellent value for money. If you like old buildings with character and the odd creeks you'll be absolutely fine. Doggies are also welcome 🐶 🐾 We'd certainly return with our pooch ☺️

a lovely quirky 16th century inn, it has creaky floorboards and slanted walls, exactly what I love about staying in old inns. The inn is full of character and charm and the breakfast is absolutely amazing.
