“As the oldest pub in Ambleside, its historic charm is undeniable, especially with its cask ales and live music adding to the experience; plus, being dog-friendly makes it ideal for walkers exploring the Lake District fells.
The rooms have a homey feel, and the staff's warmth creates a welcoming atmosphere, which is a delightful contrast to some reports of rigid service policies.
It is a place of character offering more than just a stay.”
