Highlights
Location: peaceful hillside position, away from busy roads .
“The Coledale Inn struck me as a proper countryside escape, balancing quiet hillside charm with modern comforts in its refurbished rooms and en-suite facilities; plus, being dog-friendly just sweetens the deal. With homemade meals highlighting local flavors and real ales flowing in the Victorian and Georgian bars, it is a perfect base for exploring the Northern Lake District's fells. It's a gem that genuinely captures the essence of Braithwaite.”
