Guest Reviews
The pub was a superb example of a higher end boutique B&B with very comfortable rooms a beautiful rural location and a gastro / a la carte menu. I would really highly recommend the place.
I can honestly say nothing.
Very cute pub with lovely room. Superb breakfast. Great meal at night and proper English beer. A but out of Ambleside which is wonderful. A real country pub.
Nice period type properly
Outside sitting very limited
Lovely room. Great location and fantastic food.
Utterly incredible location (don't be put off by photos of the road - it's a very quiet). Our room was very large with a fabulous bathroom (roll top bath .... bliss!) and super comfortable bed. And the food is outstanding. All the staff we encountered were helpful and courteous with a relaxed, friendly attitude.
Hmmmm..... there was a heatwave when we stayed and a fan in the room would have helped somewhat, but who plans those kinds of temperatures in the Lake District?!?
Stunning setting
Worn carpet on landing, restaurant fan buzzing under floor with industrial kitchen chimney by the window…
This place has become a chic boutique hotel and restaurant, no longer a true Lakes inn. Looks like the interior designer had a field day with the decor and books/ornaments. Food too expensive for an inn in the Lakes - I don’t doubt the quality but felt I was being told to eat healthily and fashionably with pretentious menus and ingredients. No welcoming lounge. To be fair, the bedroom was very comfortable and couldn’t fault the staff.
The whole approach, as described above.
Location is great. We have visited in the past and decided to night-stop for a treat. It is a wonderful place to stop for a drink and watch the world go by.
We are getting older and have reduced mobility. We were disappointed to find so little to help those with mobility needs. The receptionist kindly carried our overnight bags upstairs and pointed out the 'shortcut' to the dining area, we were reluctant to use this route as there were no bannisters on the stairway. The bedroom was warm and comfortable and the bathroom had a large impressive bathtub. Unfortunately, there were no guard rails to assist entry and exit
We enjoyed a drink sitting outside, but I was disappointed that traditional beers had been replaced by heavily 'citrussed' Brewdog- style makes I changed to a beer labelled 'traditional bitter' only to find it had a strong Citrus
aftertaste.
The dinner menu puzzled us as it seemed to reflect extremes of taste. The majority of offerings were 'vegetarian ' but the alternatives were 'game'. The whole menu seemed to be based on the use of cabbage.
I had the venison which was very good. My wife, who is not a fan of game had a choice of venison or wood pigeon, so opted for a celeriac and hazelnut 'Kiev', which was bland
The puddings were very nice but the whole meal was expensive for what it contained.
The breakfast broke away from what I would regard as Cumbrian fare to offer beef and potato hash, which was bland and unattractive to look at The sourdough toast and jam were very nice - fortunately.
This was a disappointing stay that failed to provide a good value proposition.
I would be challenged to select a dinner from the menu if we had stayed two nights.
Fantastic location and charm
No shower in room
Lovely place run by Lovely people.
The breakfast was pretty good
The option of a full English breakfast
Food was exceptional, staff attentive and friendly, great wine list and local ales and the room and the bath was perfect after a long day of walking!
