The staff were super helpful, and very friendly.. we had an evening meal and breakfast which were both very tasty and freshly cooked. Nice bar area.. plenty of free parking.. an ideal base if you are hiking nearby.. for the price excellent value .. it’s a 20 min walk to Gosforth were there are a couple of bars ( You can go through the Garden Centre next door to avoid walking down the busy main rd) The route takes you through fields so you will need boots on! Seascale beach is a 5 min drive away with free parking and access to the English costal path..

Our bedroom was small but clean and for the price was good value for money . It was accessed via an outdoor staircase at the side of the pub which was fine for us but not suitable for anybody with mobility issues..

The manager (owner?) offered us a great place at the back to safely parked our motorbike and a pint of ale on the house while our room was getting ready (we booked it less than an hour before arrival). The food served at dinner was gorgeous and we wish the portions were smaller, because we were really sorry not to eat everything, despite we ate twice as much as we should (we were offered boxes to save it for later). The breakfast was delicious as well, with a wide selection of food (including oat milk and a marmite :)). If we ever visit this part of Lake District again, we will definitely stay there.

Staff excellent. We arrived very late and the kitchen was closed but Richard behind the bar kept the bar open for us whilst we went to get a takeaway. When we returned we ate our food with a few pints despite it most likely making him late off work. The following day we had breakfast via the owner and chef, both couldn’t be more helpful, kind and approachable. Breakfast was generous and filled us up for the day. Rooms did the job. Bed fine, shower was hot, minor issues with a leaking shower onto the floor and wobbly toilet but for the price I was never expecting the Ritz. We used it solely just to crash the evening before climbing Scaffel.

Nothing of significance or that the staff could affect. It did the job for the price we paid.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly, quite chatty and genuinely seemed to want to make our stay enjoyable. We were offered a free breakfast every morning, the chef was more than happy to cook any typical breakfast, as well as providing a cold buffet (cereal, toast, yoghurt etc). Location was great... Just a short distance from the two places we went to while we stayed (Scaffel Pike for a trek and Ravenglass to enjoy some steam trains!)

The floor in our bathroom had some loose tiles

Super cosy and clean rooms, staff were EXCEPTIONAL. Lovely good quality breakfast - staff so accommodating to cook whatever you wish. Loads of recommendations for our planned hikes, real friendly, warm and family-like environment. Staff allowed us to check out late so we could have a kip after our sunrise hike, got a takeaway one night and staff assisted with crockery, just everything about this place was fantastic. Could recommend enough.

Nothing to improve on.

Outstanding! Thank you very much. Friendly, welcoming and helpful from arrival till departure. Prepared a plentiful breakfast for us early before trip to Scafell Pike, did so again for youngsters who got up late too. Lovely pub / inn with great rooms. WiFi and TV worked, microwave also provided in rooms. Dinners were excellent. Fantastic beer garden, great for kids. We are extremely grateful, 10/10. Thank you very much, we will definitely stay again.

If you are without a car, it means walking on the road. But that's not the inn's fault, just something to know.

Rooms were really nice and clean, staff were amazing very helpful and very friendly, nice cosy bar/restaurant area, nice big open beer garden where we enjoyed a few drinks in the sun and the food was superb.

The only issue I had with it was a minor one. On the website it said the bar opened at 12 but didn't state that it closed between 3 and 5 so we turned up just after 4 to have a few drinks in the beer garden to find the bar was closed. The chef was kind enough to serve us a drink each around half 4 once we had checked in and taken our stuff to our room.

When I entered I was met by Richard the host who was so kind and welcoming. Explained the rooms and food options. He made me feel very at home. Room was nice and clean and the power shower is strong. Dinner was lovely, a great pub atmosphere with again Richard making sure everyone was happy and had all they needed. The food was delightful. I’d happily stay again.

Nothing

Really nice pub close to the village great parking ! I had a really nice stay nice to be able to find somewhere down to earth nice couple running this pub / hotel rooms are nice and clean spacious and the beds are comfy slept really well nice powerful warm shower too !! I would definitely return there is so much I could say as we enjoyed our food can tell owners are putting effort in with what spare time they have as new paint was being put on the bar and doors lovely the best thing is the rooms are not a rip of and are great value for money I know the cost of living is expensive and running a business is by no means cheap or easy but it’s nice not to be paying over the odds for a hotel room and was great keep up the great work was a awesome find !! Great dog friendly place to stay

Just a recommendation ! Perhaps give the car park a tidy up and around the back stair case and put the WiFi codes in the rooms but this is constructive criticism and nothing that effected my stay do not be put of staying here it’s a lovely quite place to stay with friendly staff and close by amenities and beach awesome thank you !!

From the moment we parked the car everyone was so welcoming and friendly. There was great fun between staff and guests and nothing was too much of an ask. There is a gorgeous outdoor area with picnic benches, an amazing selection of food (the chef was amazing all weekend) and drinks. The location is amazing and there is amble parking. Can't wait to return.

Nothing, everything was perfect!
