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..

Spring is here. The blossom is out, the sun is warm (yes it does appear here occasionally!), the lambs are skipping in the fields and we are ready to welcome you to this most beautiful corner of England. Come and try one of our fabulous homemade pies or local real ales, sit in our beer garden, listen to the birds...

There is snow on the fells but down here in Rydal it is warm and sunny today. The daffodils are out, the lambs are frolicking in the fields, its almost like spring has finally arrived. Come and enjoy the beautiful Lake District before the Easter crowds descend!

It might be half term soon , but we are not very busy, so take advantage of the BIG room price drops and come and have a quiet few days in the Lakes. Cold and wintry outside, warm and cosy inside. We love our open fires!

Yes, we hardly dare to believe that the sun is about to make an appearance. The weather is looking promising for this week: very cold but also very sunny & clear. Proper winter weather. Come and say hello. We still have the mulled wine on & all the fires are roaring.

So we've done Christmas. What we really need now is more excessive consumption. And who are we to say no? We are open daily, and with the weather being a typical Lakes washout, why not warm yourselves up in front of our cosy real fires? New Year's eve food is served 5.30 to 8pm, some reservations still available. Free entry on the 31st, just come and have a tipple and welcome in the New Year. No rowdy entertainment though, just a charming country Inn with great beer and company. Just one or two rooms left if you want to stay on the 31st.

Well that was something else! We hope everyone found a bed for the night. The snow is melting now and the road here is free flowing. We are fully open and ready to send out our fabulous Sunday roasts. Food served this lunchtime 12-3. Just turnup and we should be able to fit everyone in, in front of our lovely open fires.

Crisp frosty mornings and crystal clear blue skies are here as winter takes its grip. There's a dusting of snow on Helvellyn, and the lakes are just starting to freeze. Come for a brisk walk then warm up in our cosy bar rooms. Sit in front of the open fires with a glass of mulled wine. NEWS: we now have an ONLINE TABLE BOOKING SYSTEM, so you can make sure of your table for one of our fabulous pies and mash.

Cosy up in a country pub whilst the weather does its things outside. And when the storms clear the air is sparkling clean and the views are amazing. The fells have had their first dusting of snow, and the trees still have some some of their Autumnal colours. Fancy a last minute getaway? check our bookings page for some fabulous last minute prices.
