We stayed 3 nights in the family room, and really enjoyed our time there! The property and its pub/restaurant are lovely, and the beer is great too! The room is well prepared, clean and has everything you would need. Breakfast was lovely! A nice cooked menu and also some continental items to get stuck into, while you wait for your cooked breakfast. My only negative feedback for our stay, would be the waiting time for the cooked breakfast to come out. For me this really needs to be sped up. We waiting an average of 30-40 mins for the cooked breakfast to come out after ordering it each moening. I appreciate that as there are only 8 rooms to cater for, that they may like to cook everything fresh, but perhaps starting to cook a number of sausages earlier would save time. Apart from that its a great hotel!

Car park was full in the evening so had to park in a lay-by nearby. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good. We were in a top floor room with a very low ceiling that could do with some padding on the corners as it was a safety hazard.

From walking in the door staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean, with a good powerful shower. Breakfast was excellent in terms of quantity and quality, again with very friendly service. The only slight negative that I had was, what I assume was air freshener, was very overpowering and unpleasant.

Comfortable stay. Great food.

We had an excellent comfortable stay. Met up with family. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend if passing through ‘Ings’ which is a lovely place to stay. Hope to go again soon.

Fantastic Staff, Fantastic Pub

Look this place is everything you need in a lake district inn. Warm fires, excellent food and some genuinely outstanding beer. The staff were amazing with us and I cannot compliment the bar staff or chefs enough. Would go back tomorrow would give it 6/5 it it were possible to rate it that highly

Fabulous place, perfect for dog owners

What a fabulous place and just a couple of miles out of Windermere. The Inn has a great atmosphere and the speciality ales are just what you need after along day of hiking. The rooms are great, superclean and very comfortable. To top it all, the cooked breakfasts in the morning were both hearty and delicious. Thr staff were also super helpful too. This was the first time we have stayed here but will definitely come again. Would highly recommend, especially perfect for dog owners.

After a soaking on my motorbike I was welcomed with a warm smile & an offer of drying out my motorbike gear overnight. A warm cosy restaurant served delicious food & a much needed cold beer couldn’t ask for more

Dog friendly, people friendly. A great find.

This was very much a last minute decision. Booked expecting a 3pm check in. We were in the area early and asked if we could check in early - staff accommodated us. Tom was lovely and clean. Staff were kind, friendly and made us feel at home. We were so impressed we had dinner - great local food and a great range of drinks in the bar. Bar was frequented by regulars who were friendly and keen to point out their favourite menu choices. The bar is dog friendly, however the restaurant side is dog free if you want a quieter break. They be around 12 different beers. All are so good we bought bottles for find and family. We will be back.

Lovely friendly place to stay

One of our go to places when up in Kendal for business. Clean & friendly and a good choice of things on the menu. Food is delicious! Only downfall we had was we booked a certain table for dinner one evening and one member of staff had moved us and was quite rude about it! Original table was empty the whole time we were in the restaurant! Wouldn’t have minded if she had been polite and explained why the move had been made!

8/10 Very good

Good evening meal, good breakfast just needed to cook the bacon & especially the sausages more (we specially asked for well done bacon & sausages) & keep the baked beans hot not lukewarm which spoiled the meal. Room very small & compact & beware of the very large wooden beam which is very low in the middle of the room. Would definitely eat a lunch/dinner meal again when passing.
