We stayed here over the Easter break, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms are very nicely furnished, and the evening food is excellent. The manager was very friendly, as were all the staff. It's quiet too, given that it's on one of the main roads through Hawkshead, and they gave us a parking permit in return for a £25 refundable... More

All the food in the pub at night time was excellent. Varied, well cooked and excellent presentation. Stored mountain bikes every evening without moaning at... More
