A charming pub B&B with real character. The room was cozy and spotless, and the warm welcome from the staff made us feel instantly at home. Great food, excellent atmosphere, and a wonderfully relaxing stay. Plenty of parking and dog friendly too (make sure you book a standard double room which are let friendly) Highly recommended!

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
