Located on the C2C. Room was clean and comfortable. Friendly staff.

Linda United States of America

Stay friendly enough and the Lamb Henry was extremely tasty

Matthew United Kingdom

Great place to stop overnight on the Coast to Coast. This leg on C2C to shap is a tough day of 16 miles and takes in the highest climb of the whole route. Thankfully food is served until 8.45 pm and the Lamb Henry on the specials board is with out doubt one of the best meals I've EVER had!!

Robert United Kingdom

Good central position within the village and close to M6

Stephen United Kingdom

Very friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Excellent breakfast

Stephen United Kingdom

Welcoming staff, brilliant food both at evening meal and breakfast. We were made to feel very welcome and I was really disappointed that they were fully booked so we could not stay on our return journey from Scotland. I have never felt more welcomed anywhere Ihave stayed. We will return. Book with absolute confidence. Dogs are made very welcome

Stephen United Kingdom

The accommodation was good value for the money and the food served was of a decent standard. I would have no problem recommending it to friends , as proof of this I have booked the king’s Arms for two nights later this month.

Pauline United Kingdom

A really great place to stay - a comfortable bed, excellent shower, friendly welcome, good food and great value. I only stayed for one night, whilst walking the Westmorland Way, and it was perfect. The staff were wonderful and couldn’t have done any more to help me (even iced water for my water bottle on a really hot day). it’s also right on the Coast to Coast route, so would be great for anyone walking that too.

Sue United Kingdom

Very good stay, for me breaking a journey, near the M6, but other guests were clearly walking in the area. Good food in the bar/restaurant and very helpful and friendly staff. My room was at the front, up to mid evening there was quite a lot of traffic noise, but this stopped about 9.00pm and my sleep was not disturbed.

Carey United Kingdom

Hotel could not do enough for us. I was walking the Wainwright Coast to Coast footpath and some of the people I was walking with were also camping there. The hotel was very flexible with changing dinner arrangements and food was perfect for anyone who's just walked 15 miles. Portions /quality were perfect. Breakfast was the same.
