Dining
Posted: September 14th, 2023
We are busy in the evenings now after 6.30pm. Arrive earlier for food if you can, to avoid the queues. Then stay around to watch the badgers. They are quite punctual at the moment, arriving around 9 to 9.30pm.

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.

Bluebells!
Posted: May 3rd, 2023
The bluebells have flooded local fields, the sun is warming up and the lambs are playing in the fields. After a fabulous walk along the shores of Rydal Water come and relax in our large beer garden. In the unlikely event that the weather is not perfect, then call in for a pint and a tasty pie in front of our open fires. Very cosy. See you soon...
