Andrew United Kingdom

A lovely birthday treat in a very cosy hotel. Ate in front of a real fire. Great staff. Glorious views. Xxx

Una United Kingdom

Beautiful pub/hotel with extremely friendly staff and a very warm welcome. A nice atmosphere and very relaxed – the rooms were great – clean, comfortable and modern. Breakfast was included and was all you could wish for. We also ate in the evening – the host very kindly booked us a table when we booked the room – and the food was fantastic. We couldn't fault this place and would definitely recommend a stay here. We only had 1 night, but there was loads of local information and walks that you could do right from the hotel, of varying difficultly and length. Set right near one end of the Kirkstone Pass, the scenery and local area was just stunning. We'll definitely be going back here. The hosts were just so friendly, it makes a difference when you speak to owners that have put a lot of thought and effort into your stay and their business.
