What a charming property. An old inn so it should be expected it is not modern but has been sensitively maintained. Staff were helpful and the manager was very hospitable. Food was exceptional. If you want a more traditional stay in a lovely location within the Lakes I would recommend

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The location is wonderful as it’s nice and quiet!! Very accommodating to us and the dog and was kept clean and tidy. The food and service was excellent would rate it 6 stars if there was an option to. Our shower room needed a little bit of TLC albeit in full working order which would be the only negative comment I could make. All in all a wonderful stay and would happily recommend to others.

It's a very lovely place in the midst of the Lake District with hiking trails and Grasmere (20min) very close by. The building is quite old and very charming and the room was cozy. The didn't dine here, but the pints wear tasteful. Breakfast was good, but some could have been more fresh.
