It’s a constant challenge keeping on top of maintaining this fine old gem of a building. 400 years of Lakeland weather takes its toll! Most of our roof has now been re-slated, putting paid to the days of dashing round with buckets in every downpour, to catch the drips. We are always looking to upgrade the rooms and public areas, whilst keeping the character of the place intact. William Wordsworth, once our neighbour, would surely still recognise the historic interiors, whilst current visitors love the fine beers, fine food and fabulous staff.

Easter's nearly here. Someone please tell the weather! The daffodils are abundant, the bluebells are on the way, but look upwards and there is a dusting of snow on the fells. Go for a bracing stroll then warm up in front of the fire at the Badger Bar. Badger news.... 4 seen on one night last week. They are coming out between about 9-11pm.

| The Bar will be closed for lunch. Open from 4pm as normal. This is so that staff can attend a memorial service for Head Chef Lenny who died in a car accident.

We have a few rooms left for next week, and the weather isn't looking too bad either. The badgercam may be offline for a day or two as we have had a new router fitted. You can come and see them live instead!
