First impressions were good, surroundings were gorgeous and the room was small but clean and comfortable. After unpacking we asked to book a table for dinner to be told they were fully booked and couldn't fit us in. Bearing in mind the pub is off the beaten track, it would mean a car or taxi journey to find anywhere else... more

Lovely old pub with a good local menu. The food is excellent and I would recommend it for the food. However this place good be even better if they simply did the following: 1. Smiled a little more 2. Wiped down the tables, they were sticky 3. Lit the candles on the tables and around the restaurant. I would go... more

We stayed for two nights and had one of the new rooms which had a lovely little seat outside overlooking the fells. The room was small but well decorated in quite an ornate style. (styles do vary as we saw one of the rooms in the main pub which was more modern and with pine furniture, but also nice) Our... more

Perfect!

The Brown Horse Inn is in an ideal setting and perfect for getting out and about in the Lake District. The rooms are lovely and furnished in a French chateau style. The food in the pub is excellent. We would definitely stay here again. Our only disappointment was that the farm shop was closed due to refurbishment but at least... more

Beautiful room although had to go into the freezing cold to get round to the door,It was icy outside and the paths were slippy older guests may have found it difficult to walk on, however i presume they would find a different room if this was mentioned when booking. The room was clean and recently refurbished, only complaint was the... more

Good room, clean, well equipped and comfortable. We weren't aware of any noise from the pub, even though our room was directly above, though we could hear everything from the room next door - coughing, talking, snoring etc! Evening meal was delicious, breakfast not the most amazing but perfectly OK. The Inn is in a beautiful location - not too... more

Have stayed a few times at The Brown Horse and recently stayed in one of the new rooms - fabulous!!! All 4 new rooms have been decorated individually and have their own little table and chairs outside which is very handy to sit and have a nice bottle of wine and watch the sun go down. Steve and Karen have... more

Stayed at the Brown Horse for a couple of nights last week and would recommend. Excellent restaurant and nice friendly service throughout. Only thing which narked was the off-hand manner of the girl who took my telephone booking. But nothing personal as we watched her wretched telephone routine while we were there. Our room [5] was nice and clean and... more
