We stayed the night here at this wonderfully isolated pub and i have to say they have got things just right. The danger in the Lakes is that things get a little too twee and chintzy but here the decor and design is contemporary without being at all out of place. The public bar is a delight, albeit a little small, the bedrooms are comfortable and luxurious and the food fully deserves its AA rosette. I even liked the 'designer' brown bathwater!
