News

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...
