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.

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!

Cosy up in a country pub whilst the weather does its things outside. The fells will soon have their first dusting of snow, and the trees still have some of their Autumnal colours. Fancy a last minute getaway? Check our bookings page for some fabulous last minute prices.
Autumn

Come and visit and see the trees with their lovely autumnal colours. The badgers are coming out anytime after about 7pm. So whilst you wait for them, make yourselves comfortable with a hearty steak and ale pie and a nice pint of Raven Red bitter, perched in front of one of our open fires.
