We loved the location the food and breakfast were great and it was so peaceful and the staff all so friendly and welcoming

Breakfast was disappointing. We’d have preferred an earlier offering of eating time and greater choice of fruits and yoghurt.

Atmosphere was fun and lovely friendly staff

Great quiet place. We took our puppy and had a lovely spacious room. The food was gorgeous, I ate the same two nights running because it was so good. What really makes this place is the staff. Rebecca, Ellis and Kelly are exceptional at looking after you and made us so welcome. The 3 night stay was a real treat 😍

Shortage of staff. Not the fault of the hotel but bar staff/waiter run off their feet.

Quiet pretty pub in a tranquil setting.

Not great lighting in the bathroom

Lots of character

Minor issues - Coat hangers required for the wardrobe; some bathroom fittings were loose - sink shelf and hooks couldn't be used; leaking shower screen. Fine for our short (1night) stay but this would be less user friendly for longer stays. Some basic (and quick) maintenance would resolve. Otherwise all good.

Fantastic place to visit / stay - Really friendly and accommodating staff; great venue, food (dinner and breakfast) and drink (much better than ordinary pub grub); pet friendly. Booking, check in and check out was easy.

There's was only one staff member at the start of the evening and the pub was very busy and people had to wait for drinks and food as she was rushed off her feet. They should look at having more staff available earlier on, I would say, from about 5pm, although another member of staff turned up later , it felt like it was too late, and they lost some customers due to this.

Lovely location in a very small village , the rooms are an excellent size and very clean. The staff are very friendly . The evening we were there even had its monthly quiz night, which we enjoyed . The menu has a good choice but is not very extensive with choices, although there is a specials board with 3 choices on .The breakfast in the morning was good, with several choices available, including the usual cereals, toast fruit, etc, as well.

It is not something we don't like just to help others understand the road condition. The road from the hotel to Bowness (nearest cruise point) is narrow and one needs to drive slowly and carefully. The locals do stop for you and reverse back first to the passing point to let you go, which is very kind. We spend the second night in the heart of windermere and we really missed the countryside community friendliness. So the road condition is not ideal but well worth it.

An unpretentious local hotel sits within the heart of lake district community. Staff is very friendly and accommodating - I travelled solo with my two dogs and the hotel waved the fee for the dogs, much appreciated! The room has beautiful old beams and the view of the mountain. The bath room has a deep soaking tub, which is rare for a pub hotel (we stayed in Pip, which apparently means five in local language). From the bedroom window, watching clouds drifting on top of the hills whilst listening birds chirping and little lamb calling late into the night and first thing in the morning is heavenly!

Lovely friendly pub, beautiful room and great walks right from the door. Excellent food. Breakfast a particular highlight.

In terms of the hotel there was nothing to criticise. The breakfast was a bit variable - coffee was great one day but not so good the next. The cooked breakfast was a bit mean if selected items were chosen from the list - only one fried egg! But the full selection was fine.

The beautiful hamlet of Bowland Bridge - fabulous countryside and great local walks. The hotel/pub was comfortable and we had a nice room on the top floor with a great view. The staff were polite and helpful (special mention to Becca). We ate in the restaurant where the food was above average.

Loved that this was located in the rolling hills of the Lake District. It was a perfect location with the sounds of the surrounding farmland. However it was not so remote that you could not to everything within a few minutes drive. They had a great range of food options for breakfast as well as dinner if you chose to dine at night there. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again!

The menu choice is only small. No 24hr checkout facility. Very limited toiletries available only body wash and hand wash.

The location away from the hustle and bustle of the lakes, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly. Food quality was excellent. The choice of wine and beer was plentiful. Lots of parking available.
