Good luck Windermere Marathon runners
Posted: May 17th, 2015
Good luck to all those tackling this scenic route right round the lake. Less energetic visitors are welcome to relax in our beer garden or cosy bar.

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.
Lycra invasion..

The annual Fred Whitton bike round round the lakes brought nearly 2000 cyclists past our door today, twice. Firstly, fresh off the start line at Grasmere, and then not so fresh about 9 hours later, just before they finished back in Grasmere having ridden 120+ miles and crossed every big mountain pass in the Lake District. A few wise ones stayed here for two nights, enjoying the hearty pub grub after an epic ride. Well done to all who took part.
Warm & sunny!

Spring has sprung, and its gorgeous up here. Our beer garden is busy and the birds are chirping. We love it!

Wed. 18th March 8pm Channel 4 Three in a bed. Features the Yurts at Rydal Hall, plus a meal here at the Badger Bar. No idea if we will appear on the show, but we hope so after they spent about 5 hours filming here.
Redecorated and looking great

The newly refurbished rooms are looking really smart now. And with all the woodork stripped in the bar that looks much better. Just wait till you see our men's loos, with their own rock feature!

feeding the badgers
Posted: September 26th, 2014
Every night they come out to be fed in our grounds, and our guests love to watch. There have been 5 or 6 most nights this week, and a fox trying to sneak in as well for his supper.
Glorious Summer

Sun and blue skies and glittering lakes, it really is a special place to be... We love it here and hope you can visit this summer.
