Westmorland hospitality at it’s best.
Wonderful Westmorland hospitality.
Nice real fire in the Bar, so welcome on an Autumn evening. Chats with local regulars.
Beautiful room. Excellent menu and eventual meal plus brilliant choice of wine with no overpricing.
Excellent breakfast to complete our visit.

The welcome was good, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The room had everything in it we needed, but was rather tired, and the bathroom needed some minor repairs. The water was hot whenever we needed it.
The food was excellent.

This inn is quaint in a way that makes it perfect for anyone visiting Grasmere. It is not fancy, but is very comfortable and has excellent staff. I would gladly stay here for a week or more.

Return to a little bit of heaven
The check in was simple, with clear instructions provided in the room. Access to good quality WiFi was again simple.
I ate in the pub for breakfast and dinner, it was easy to put my dinner bill and associated drinks on my bill.
All the staff were friendly and relaxed, despite being a busy bank holiday weekend, which is a credit to them.
All the food was fantastic, served hot and without too much of a wait. The staff were on it and keen to give you a good stay.
I would definitely stay again!

Charming pub in stunning location.
A fantastic location. The views from the rooms were stunning. Generally peaceful (slight road noise, but nothing to worry about at night!). Breakfast was wonderful. Very tasty and good menu.
The pub itself is very charming. Open fires, great food! Perfect location for a stay. Bus stop not far from pub with links to Keswick and Ambleside/Windermere. Footpath directly opposite.
I feel the room was becoming a little tired but generally good quality. Grouting missing from floor tiles in bathroom, extractor fan seemed to not work. Could do with better places for bedside plugs for phone charging.
Comfy bed. Slept very well.
