We are optimistic that the worst of COVID is past and the coming summer will be fantastic. Let’s hope the weather is as good as last year!
We have used the lockdown to upgrade a lot of this charming building, including a big improvement to the bar rooms, re-instating the fireplace (with logburner) in the large lounge, adding some fine antique furniture..

The snowdrops and crocuses are out, the sun has a bit of warmth 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...

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!

The fires are burning, the lights are twinkling and the mince pies have appeared, which can only mean that finally Christmas has arrived. And where better to find yourself than in a cosy country pub? We look forward to welcoming you.

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.

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.

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!
