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.

Celebrate New Year here in this charming country inn. We have a 3 course meal followed by the countdown to midnight in the bar. No discos or rowdy entertainment, just a traditional pub and a fabulous atmosphere. Click on the link at the bottom of the Xmas page for details.

We are open as normal now, nothing flooded here. We were for a while officially a Lakeside hotel. Amazing amount of water but we escaped lightly.

Christmas is coming, and the Badger Bar is looking very festive. When the weather is cold and damp, where better to escape to than this lovely country pub? Sit in front of the fire with a mulled wine or warming bowl of home-made soup. We hope to see you soon.

There's a great forecast for the new Badger Bar Blast fell race this Saturday 21st November. Cold and sunny with perhaps some snow on the fells. Enter on the day or just come for a pint afterwards in front of the log fire. Good luck to all the runners who get to climb Loughrigg not once but twice, and visit Silver Howe, via a couple of nice boggy sections.

We have got workmen in for a couple of weeks, as we make further improvements. A new kitchen, new bathrooms, better bar, gallons of paint. Lots of noise and dust now but it will all be worth it. Come and see for yourselves!
