“The recent refurbishment has certainly revitalized this charming inn, lending it a comfortable, boutique feel where the staff genuinely seem invested in your stay. Dining here is a pleasure, from a truly exceptional Sunday roast to thoughtfully presented evening meals and a varied cheese board. It's a warm, welcoming spot, particularly noted for its dog-friendly approach and its convenient position for exploring the Cumbrian landscape.”
