A beautiful country inn located at the heart of the South lakes. The rooms are compact but well appointed and comfortable. The food (especially the breakfast) ‘hits the spot’ and the staff are brilliant. The spectacular Langdales are all around with no need to use the car - so just park up and enjoy.

Liked: Cleanliness
Our room, 4, was directly above the bar and an awful din came up through the floor. It was very noisy and kept us awake when we went to bed before the bar closed. Then well after 11pm there was a series loud bangs as doors were slammed downstairs below us - made our room rattle and shake. Not pleasant.
