    One night stopover on way North, was perfect quiet location not too far off our route. Dinner and breakfast both very good. Staff very helpful.

    Lovely room, friendly staff and an exceptional dinner. I left my washbag behind and the staff were great in organising to send it back to me.

    The staff are great, they are very welcoming and make you feel part of the family. It was a great location to walk around Ullswater. We enjoyed having a walk in the afternoon and coming back to the cosy pub for an afternoon drink
