    Food was excellent. We walked to our accommodation and only needed one night stay as was walking on again, doing the Cumbria way. All of Elterwater is a little pricey when other surrounding towns are a little cheaper for accommodation. I think...

    Fantastic location. Great food. Great beer. Amazing staff. Thoroughly impressed by the friendliness and the work ethic of the staff. Working so hard - all the time - and smiling. A very well run place. Thank you.
