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.
November

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
Posted: October 9th, 2024
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.
Summer Holidays

Congratulations for choosing to visit the most beautiful corner of England, and it is the perfect place to escape the heat! Yes, we like a bit of rain, it keeps everything lush and green. When the weather is good, come and sit in our lovely beer garden. Just in case you hit a damp spell, come inside, we have lots of tables, and enjoy our homecooked food and fine ales. We take table bookings for the start of each session. After that, just walk in. If we are busy, there may be a short delay. We are usually busiest from 7pm each evening, so if you can come earlier it will be less crowded and service will be quicker. See you soon!
June already!

Weekends are very busy but during midweek you can enjoy the Lakes in all their glory without the crowds. To help you out, we have for a limited time only reduced our room prices by up to 40% off. Grab a bargain! We have plenty of tables as well, so just turn up if you like on weekdays. Weekends we advise booking.

Finally there is some sun and summer warmth, and the Lake District is looking fantastic. Our rooms are full until Sunday but our beer garden has plenty of tables, so come and enjoy the sunshine and fabulous scenery. SUNDAY LUNCH: we have plenty of space but there is a glitch on our booking system. If you would like to book a table (reservations taken for 12 or 12.30 only) then please send an email to us. We can't always answer the phone because we might be pulling pints, but emails reach us! After 12.30 feel free to turn up, last orders for lunches are 2.30pm.

The weather is warm, the trees are lush and green, the woodlands are carpeted with flowers, and the lambs are frolicking in the meadows. In short - its beautiful. And even better, on weekdays it is not overrun with tourists. We have a bit of a lull before the next school holidays, so have a look at our room prices on the website and grab a last minute bargain. Some rooms are almost half price! We hope to see you soon.

Magnificent May
Posted: May 4th, 2024
Our favourite month, when the Lakes is full of life and colour, with the promise of a glorious summer to come. The weather might not be perfect just yet, but the lush greenery, bluebell filled woodland and skipping lambs make up for it. Call in here for refreshing homemade food and the best local ales. We take table reservations but hold back most of our tables for walk-ins, so please do just call in, though perhaps don't turn up right at the end of food service or you may be disappointed.
