A nice quiet hotel with plenty of free parking. Good food and beer and good quality breakfast. Staff were all very friendly and efficient. Room was clean but some of the paintwork needs refreshing. Lovely view over the fells to the rear.

Good choice of food on the menu and two open fires to get cosy around.
