Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

Nice food, nice location - just out of the way.

A real find. Off the beaten track but very handy for Ullswater and the A66. A clean and smoke free hotel with surprisingly good food, and backed up with great friendly service. Highly recommended.

what a lovely reception from the landlord and lady. no staff here. wonderful old fashion pub with brilliant sunday roast and real ale.

very cosy atmosphere and excellent food especially the sticky toffee pudding

We stopped here a couple of years ago and was a brilliant night if you like horses and jockeys and like a good pint of local brew. The rooms were quite nice and the breakfast was really good ... I? recommend this pub.

Spencer the chef certainly knows his craft and we found his anecdotes very amusing. We had a really good night at a very reasonable price

I have eaten here on numerous occasions over the last 2 years. Consistently good food and plenty of it. Would continue to go back time and again. Very good value for money. Well laid out with restaurant separated from the main bar. Relaxing atmosphere.

Top quality food in a beautiful setting

Ended up by default and what a treat - the best lasagne I have had and my daughter and wife had clean plates so must have been good - been three years ago poor now what a treasure - well worth a call - suggest get in early as packed when we went.

A very homely welcome

Visited twice in week and well worth it - non smoking and warm welcome. Attention needs paying to what is ordered. Most excellent new menu. Make certain you choose table and BOOK as busy. A must if going to Keswick - New Year was superb.

What a wonderful way to round off the festive season with an excellent meal in a friendly, local restaurant where personal service is a priority and food is beautifully cooked and presented and tastes perfect. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed and unhurried - a perfect evening.

a fantastic restaurant with a great atmosphere and friendly service

Had two wonderful meals over the Christmas period with different groups of people and everybody was very impressed (28 people in total) the lamb melted in your mouth and the cheeseboard the best I`ve ever seen. Looking forward to another reason to celebrate!!

Where do I start... We dropped into this pub / restaurant en route to the Lake District initially for a quick pint. This turned into a full Sunday lunch which was excellent in every way. The food was fresh, hot and plentiful and was served by pleasant polite and friendly staff. When presented with the bill I was amazed that such quality was so reasonable. All in all an excellent well run establishment - we will be back!

A gem in Appleby, a place that would fit into the most fashionable streets in Europe (honest). A great little place well worth a visit, good wine for the price and the staff are a breath of fresh air. Try the early evening tapas & wine a steal at £6.00. One night there was a great live jazz band.

I am a local in Appleby and this place has been open a year now its totally modern for our town and lovely for a girly meal or romantic night with the one you love also nice for a lunchtime treat daily specials and various theme nights lovely wine and friendly staff and very reasonably priced!!

Great Pub Food
