Proximity to outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and water sports.
Pet-friendly accommodations available for a surcharge.
Hearty breakfasts with locally sourced ingredients.

“This inn strikes me as a genuinely hospitable place, one that clearly understands the needs of walkers and outdoor enthusiasts drawn to the Lake District; the drying room is a thoughtful touch. I'm particularly impressed by the food, especially the range of gluten-free and vegetarian options available in the pub. It presents a comfortable and practical base for exploring the peaks and valleys of Eskdale.”
