“This inn struck me as an excellent base for exploring the Lake District's fells and trails, but the combination of pub atmosphere and tailored menus for private events is a clever touch. I particularly like the dog-friendly suite, which is separate from the main building; it's a thoughtful detail. Overall, it's a well-located and considered place to stay.”
