Lovely busy pub loved by the locals.. Walkers.. Explorers and general holiday makers alike.. Thank you for a lovely stay.. May see you again next year 😊
United KingdomFriendly staff, pretty rooms, plenty of space to comfortably spread out and socially distance in the public areas. The one-way system and the abundance of hand gel added to our confidence that COVID-19 measures where being taken seriously. Pretty little village for an evening walk and a nature reserve at the end of the lane for walking the dog. Breakfasts were amazing!

United KingdomThe staff were very friendly and helpful the Derby arms is a very welcome place homemade food was great and we liked the fact that our dog was made just as welcome as we were will definitely be visiting again 🙂
United KingdomI've stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms are above old pub. Staff friendly and doing everything to make everyone happy. Room clean and good size. Possible the furniture a little bit shabby but cosy and comfortable. My kids loved a bed which was big but the most important that it was high - need a step to climb up. Kids happy - I'm happy. Really good location less then a minute from the main A590 and 20minutes from the Lakeside. I had no reservation for evening meal but staff done everything to find a table for me and kids.Food delicious- freshly made and huge portion. One way walk system, hand sanitizer stations and socially distancing tables - all to comply with COVID recommendations. Definitely recommend as visit.

The Derby Arms takes its name from the owners of the surrounding Halecat Estate, the Stanleys. The estate at Witherslack was part of a reward for Thomas Stanley’s part in the suppression of Lambert Simnel’s attempt on the throne. There are stories that Thomas Broughton was not killed at Stoke Field but lived out his days hiding in the woods in Witherslack, cared for by his former tenants – who thought little of the Stanleys. The pub was built in 1821 on the turnpike road, which was the main road between Kendal and Ulverston at the time both highly prosperous. A post office is marked as in the building on the 1850 OS map. The extension housing the kitchen and lavatories is marked on the 1890’s OS map. Oliver Stanley the 17th Earl’s second son sold the pub in the 1930’s while Conservative MP for Westmorland and Minister of State for War. In the 1970’s the whole complex was the regional depot for Watneys, it was then sold to Vaux and unfortunately fell into terminal decline. Now revived and a hub for the local community this charming pub is well worth a visit

Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
