“An old, remote coaching inn, with fine dining and bistro. Friendly and welcoming with well kept gardens and a cosy lounge with fireplace. Enjoy country walks and fishing in the nearby Lake Bassenthwaite. A country retreat with access to local spa and pool.”

Hotel Review
There are plenty of reminders of the old coaching inn that this long, low, black and white building once was, not least the charmingly old fashioned oak-panelled bar. Other welcoming sitting areas, one with a log fire, add to the cosiness. Bedrooms have been enlarged and modernised in the last few years, to create attractive, bright spaces in keeping with the essentially traditional feel of this much-loved northern Lakes hostelry.
