Last minute booking but we will definitely return. Cosy seating area, lovely food, friendly staff and an excellent base for walking, particularly Helvellyn.

We had a lovely stay. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Inn is this amazing old building that’s creaky and has historical atmosphere.
The place is very clean. The rooms are warm and clean and the ensuite was clean, the road noise was dulled down by the double glazed windows.
The breakfast and meals were delicious.
The out door patio area is a great place to sit and meet others.
There is road noise but doesn’t take anything away from the lovely surroundings.

On way back from top of Scotland this was a lovely stop over, amazing views of the hills. Staff fantastic, food excellent good bar selection and a fab lounge with log burner for the guests. Rooms are perfect for what you need. Only minor gripe is the mattress on the bed was a bit tired and could do with changing. Overall fab place. Defo use again
