Bower House Inn in Isle of Wight

Lovely Inn situated in a great area, very busy I would recommend booking in advance. The service was excellent everyone were very friendly. The food was very good, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. I would definitely return and recommend.

Super home cooked dinner, freshly cooked breakfast - best poached eggs I’ve had in a very long time- great choice of ales and wines - room clean and everything we needed … good atmosphere in the bar and even some live music

Good location after hiking Scafell Pike. Great food and beer at the restaurant. Warm and clean room. Affordable price. Everything was good. 👍

Best steak and ale pie we have had!

Dropped in for dinner without booking & made very welcome, despite it being busy. Short wait for a table but the delicious home cooked food was worth it. Nice atmosphere too

A really lovely Inn. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Great food, lots of choice and smaller portions available on some of the menu. Lots of choice for breakfast, all freshly cooked. Lovely grounds. Would recommend booking dinner reservation. Would definitely return there

Lovely food and beer. Service very good too.

Vibrant pub! Friendly staff, good choice of drinks and great tasty food.

Only travelling through, very busy but service was fast and efficient. Food tasty.

What a little gem 💎 we have just stayed 3 nights and with a big black Labrador dog. The staff in every area of the business couldn’t do enough for us or the dog. They’ve been very friendly and accommodating. The food was great 👍 and also if you let them know before 9pm the night before they will make you a packed lunch up for your day out walking. Plenty of outdoor space for your dog water bowls spread around everywhere they even have a poop bin and supply doggy bags next to that for if you’ve forgotten them while bringing your dog out from the room for their night night last ditch attempt for No1 or No2s. Well done guys 👏👏👏 we will be back when in that area again thank you for making it lovely

We visited on a mid week evening in September. The friendliness of the staff and their efficiency was excellent. They were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The menu options were very good and prices were not expensive. The food was excellent, all 5 of us with different menu choices and we all really enjoyed our meal, all opting for desserts. We sat in the restaurant and the ambience was good but looked equally as good in the bar area too. Overall, one of the best places we have eaten in the Lake District.

Just returned after spending 3 nights at the Bower House Inn. 5 Stars all the way. It's sometimes difficult, taking your dog away on holiday, as there can be restrictions on where they can go, or you might feel a little uneasy, especially in hotels but from the off I'd say that dogs are made very welcome but, humans must be well behaved at all times. All the staff were fantastic, nothing was ever an issue. The location, for the Western Lakes, is perfect. Breakfast had a great choice of cooked items. The bar meals were really good. Large helpings, plenty of choice/variety and decent price. Rooms were clean and tidy with good on-suite facilities. Our room gad a huge bed and wardrobe storage. Outside, weather permitting, had a large car park, plenty of grassed area with access to the narrow guage railway, in walking distance (sort of). Highly recommend. We can't wait to return.

Had food but probably just pub food nothing great. Beer was good though

Started here for a night. Staff were lovely. Good was great and reasonably priced. Definitely a convenient location. I would definitely come back.

A bit off the beaten track but well worth finding. Great real ales and a fantastic food menu. Turned up with over a dozen others and the staff handled the orders and served the food in a friendly and organised way.

Lovely Sunday lunch with a pint. Cosy pub with a nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced & very quick service. Kids were happy with the chicken burger option our roast had all the trimmings.

Wonderful steak, friendly staff,

Great place for family to go for dinner, great beer, fantastic food and, excellent service.

We were very impressed with this pub. I booked a meal in advance and the staff kindly seated us so we could watch the England game. The food was very tasty (I had a big serving of chicken pie)and it is an ideal place to go to if you are staying at Fisherground campsite (10 mins by car). They have a great selection of ales and there is plenty of space outside with a playground for the kids. The gardens and scenery around the pub are beautiful too.

Fabulous food great service in a beautiful location..cant ask for more than that! Popular so make sure you book a table 🙂

Found this place online. However I could not book a single room for 2 nights online. I called by phone, and the problem was apparently that there was not a single available for the 2 nights. However the lady kindly rearranged the other booking, so that I could indeed book the room for 2 nights. Very helpful! Location is great. Food is also delicious, and reasonably priced. Lots of outside area to sit. No 5 stars for the room, as there was no real chair, only a stool/bench thing which was also a bit wobbly. A nice plus was the presence of a fan, for when it gets warmer (I didn't need it!).

Popped in for some food, fantastic menu and food in the restaurant side. Also had a pint in the pub, locals were friendly, Will make a return visit 100%.

Had a lovely meal here (with international options). Good beer and service and nice ambiance.

Lovely staff, amazing atmosphere and the locals make you feel at home, the food was delicious and a good range of different ales and ciders, must recommend the buttermilk chicken buger and the mushroom dahl

This was an excellent find! Great atmosphere, great service, really friendly staff. The food was first class and all homemade. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute there.

Booked in for a meal 😋 absolutely stunning location, and food is absolutely gorgeous . Well worth a visit and reasonable price for delicious homemade food after a hike in the fells.

Lovely traditional pub great facilities for kids, playarea, football nets, rounders, and loads for outdoor seating plus plenty of dog bowls dotted around for your four-legged friend. The food is really nice, homemade chips, always a good sign they can be bothered to make things from scratch, both chicken and beef burgers were succulent and tender the kids meals were also a decent portion with the pudding which went down a hit for my son, I had a Japanese style beef dis which was awesome. I would definately recommend paying it a visit and I will be back again. +++++++

Good food and a pint of Timothy Taylors landlord.

A lovely 18rh Century Pub. Good service and nice food.

Excellent all round experience. Stayed for 3 nights whilst exploring the lake district by motorcycle. Lovely clean rooms excellent food, very friendly staff who could do no more to be helpfull. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back when that way again

Beautiful garden, great location, friendly staff, and most importantly the best chips for miles! We have eaten here many times but stayed over for the first time this weekend. Would stay again. They also spoiled our dogs rotten! Highly recommended.

Stayed across the road from here and so of course went to sample the Inn! Plus points- really nice interior, plenty of tables inside and out, reasonably priced beer and food which tasted great too! Sun was shining and the gardens were glorious to be out in. Smashing little play area for kids as well! Saturday we had a meal and there was a wedding on but staff were attentive and efficient with our service and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Sunday we went back for a few afternoon drinks in the glorious sunshine- unfortunately this is why I've rated 3 for service as we sat at a bench and the three tables around us had plates and glasses on them. An hour and a half later the glasses and plates were still there! So we took it upon ourselves to tidy up and took everything back inside. Not a word of thanks from the manager when we discussed how poor this was as other people had left because the tables were dirty. His response was that they were understaffed and the staff in were tired today after the wedding! Not really acceptable and such a shame as it really is a lovely place otherwise! So great generally and wanted to be able to write a nicer review, but you'll have to clear up after yourself if the staff are a bit tired...

We had a meal here which for a pub was excellent! The best pub food we've had in a long time. Apart from the unfriendly dogs here it was excellent!

Went for food at lunch time and got the mexican wraps. Great portion size and fast service. Quality is also good, but some room for improvement with the sauces. Overall highly recommend this pub.

Such a wonderful location woth lovely staff and the most excellent evening food menu. We will be staying there again!

1st time sat had a meal really nice pub Really nice food Really reasonable price

We stopped here for food after a day on the fells, the food was beautifully presented and as tasty as it looked. Service was perfect and the place is very well maintained. If you like whiskey, you'll love this pub as they have all you dreamed of and more

Spent 3 days in the Lakes and came here on 2 of the days. Staff were lovely, big thanks to quiz master Dave who sent us the answers by email when we had to leave before the end. Food was amazing and it was great for kids with a mini football pitch and little play area. This would be my local if I lived nearby!

stayed 2 nights ,, it was quiet being 27/28 Dec but perfect All the rooms where full ! So apart from full season I would say the perfect place for quiet break !! Location is great for walkers , drivers , bikers as all the best roads and walks Ect are on your door step ,, not 5mile drive away !! Rooms are great , all you could want and CLEAN Food in the restaurant is great too and not over priced ! Going back ! , On our bikes next time to explore the mountain passes that are the nearest to the alps you will get in the UK , The steepest road in England is only 3/4 miles away ! and the Screes at wast water are some thing you have to see to under stand , very good at sun set !

Excellent food and service, very pleasant staff.

Great place after a long wet walk. They stoked the fire to dry us and our dog and gave us a nice welcome. Brilliant pint of Guiness too!

Character inn with small but comfortable rooms, great food and friendly staff. Stayed there to be relatively close to the Wast Water mountains (within easy driving distance)

Lovely pub, staff very welcoming & friendly, food was great with good veggie options! 😊

Whay fantastic place to sit on a summers evening in their beer garden fabulous veiws all around you ❤️🍻👌🍹

My husband and I had Sunday lunch here a couple of weeks ago. We were seated in a room at the rear of the bar, right next to the toilet door. The table was dirty and it rocked. On investigation we discovered one of the legs was only just still attached to the table top, someone had tried unsuccessfully to tighten the joint with a beer mat. The food (main course) was ok and we intended to have dessert. But after waiting for more than 20 minutes for someone to remove our plates and take an order for dessert we decided to leave. Whilst paying at the bar we told the young lady that we were disappointed not to have had dessert, she said we could be RESEATED and have dessert. We declined, choosing to drive on to Seascale where we had delicious icecreams from Mawson's ice-cream shop. The entire experience at Bower House was very disappointing.

Absolutely loved the Bower House Inn!! From the moment we walked in the front door where we were greeted with a roaring open fire we were sold 😁 The staff (especially James and Emily) were fantabulous, the food delicious, the room cosy and comfortable, the view amazing. Breakfast each morning had everything you were looking for, and more! The dogs were treated as part of the family, they loved their doggy sausages 👌 The dinner menu had lots of options and all fresh and delicious. Locals playing the piano was the icing on the cake 😊 We didn’t want to leave!

We got engaged in Eskdale last year and returned here for our anniversary meal, and once again everything was perfect! The staff were great and reserved the same table for us, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was friendly. We highly recommend the pies which have been great both times we've been. Thank you again, we will be back next year!

Loved my stay here, run by friendly welcoming people. The bar was cosy for a February evening, can imagine it is beautiful in the summer with the outdoor area. Dinner was excellent as was breakfast, early service at 7am was great as it gave me the chance to have an early breakfast before leaving for work. The single room I stayed in had everything I needed, was warm and the bed comfortable. Thanks

Lovely location and setting. Its a nice building and well kept for its age. Breakfast I had was delicious also. No hot water, though, so I couldn't have a shower or bath :(

Lovely food. We had the chicken pie and the Goulash both were 10/10

Typical country pub. Very nice food. Excellent.

Came here for 2 nights for food whilst staying locally to climb. Service was very friendly from everyone and it’s a lovely setting with a warm, old style pub feel with an open fireplace. The food was great and opted for the pork belly both nights because it was so good! The burger and the steak pie were also good choices from my friend.

Food was excellent. Regretted not staying here but will definitely book a stay here on my next holiday.

Lovely warm room excellent walk in shower. Very clean and tidy. Enjoyed the coal roaring fire . Food and service was good.

I was excited to eat here when I read the reviews in the build up to our arrival and I am very pleased to say that expectations were met AND exceeded. I had a Steak and Ale Pie one night which was so good I had to come back the next night to try the Slow Roasted Lamb. It's impossible to pick a favoruite! Lovely service throughout and it was heartwarming to see how genuinely friendly and inclusive all of the staff were to our little dog Albie.

We dined on a busy Sunday afternoon so service was good considering. We ordered a beef roast and it was very enjoyable. Great value for such a large portion. The garden/outdoor space was especially nice on a sunny day. On a different day, we also enjoyed some drinks in a different cosy room.

Great food, lovely beer garden with beautiful views. Initially a positive experience but was then disappointing. The attitude of staff was dismissive, rushed and abrupt (not even an offer of a dessert menu). A pretty poor experience as a customer, dining out on a special occasion.

Staying near to Eskdale Green the Bower House was our nearest pub, we ended up eating here 3 times. Staff are welcoming & very friendly, service was wonderful, the food was amazing could not fault anything, I highly recommend the Moroccan lamb pudding with spicy vegetable tagine - I've not had a suet pudding since childhood when my mum used to make them. Also tried the spinach & ricotta samosas and the Cajun chicken, sweet potato fries were best I've ever had. As for desserts I tried the sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate brownie. Very good value for money. If we are ever in staying in the area again, we will definitely be back.

Good food and the beer was also good. The service was very pleasant and easy in these trying times. Would recommend, but don't trust your sat nav!!

Fuimos a cenar allí para celebrar nuestro aniversario de boda después de todo el día caminando. Todas las medidas de seguridad de Covid estaban implementadas pero organizadas de esa manera para que no afectaran demasiado la experiencia general. La ubicación es pintoresca y fue encantador cenar afuera. El personal fue muy amable y esperamos la comida solo alrededor de media hora. La comida era increíble, recién hecha, jugosa y deliciosa. Probablemente fue la mejor lasaña que he probado en el Reino Unido. Mi otra mitad tenía una hamburguesa y también era de primera calidad. Ambos platos venían con una fantástica ensalada de col. Nos sorprendieron gratamente los precios, ya que este lugar también es amigable con la billetera. Seguramente volveremos cuando visite el área nuevamente.

Had the chicken pie and the beef pie. Great food. Kids loved it. A great play area outside. Will go again - and try and stay here the next time we visit the lakes. Really lovely.

Este es un pub fantástico, lo he visitado con frecuencia durante los últimos 35 años desde que se mudó a Cumbria. Un entorno idílico y en este pub muy atmosférico. Perro amable, hermoso jardín de cerveza y WiFi disponible. Tuve el solomillo de Cumbria que era de alta calidad con deliciosas patatas fritas caseras. La esposa tenía la tarta de bistec y cerveza, que era la mejor que había probado en mucho tiempo y estoy de acuerdo cuando probé. Una de las razones por las que viajamos aquí hoy fue que su sitio web indicaba que estaban participando en el esquema del 50% del gobierno y este 31 de agosto era su último día. Sin embargo, al pagar la cuenta, me dijeron que habían abandonado el plan antes de tiempo, ¡me sentí CONDADO! .

En Internet, la glorieta figuraba como en comer fuera y ayudar, esto era la calle 31 de agosto, así que el último día del plan, así que reservamos y pedimos comida después de una comida encantadora con un servicio y un entorno encantadores. También se admiten perros, fuimos a pagar la factura y dijo que habían detenido el descuento hoy un día antes

Beautiful food, fantastic service and idyllic surroundings; a wonderful evening meal was had by all at the Bower House.

llegamos en familia esta noche después de un largo día caminando.Como el pub estaba ofreciendo el plan de ayuda para comer fuera que pensamos que íbamos a comer, los niños querían jugar en el jardín, así que nos sentamos afuera a cenar.Luego, la cena se sirvió en recipientes para llevar ya que nos dijeron que no podíamos tener platos en el jardín. !Al venir a pagar la factura, no recibimos el 50% de descuento, ya que nos dijeron que se ofrecía en comida para llevar. ! ! Hubo avisos de ko advirtiendo esto, ninguna mención sobre pedidos y un comentario de "Yo no hago las reglas" del barman.Buena comida, sin embargo, al menos Dick Turpin llevaba una máscara. ! !

Popped in with kids for a refreshing drink on way home from swimming in the pools. Staff friendly. Garden well presented amd at out perfect for social distancing. Staff: owner very friendly. We will return

Acabamos de llegar a casa después de un fin de semana encantador en la casa de bower, llegamos a las 4 pm después de un registro rápido, nos sentamos a beber vino en la amplia taberna al aire libre.Estábamos en la habitación hardnott en el edificio principal, tenía una cama individual y una cama doble con un baño de gran tamaño. Era muy tranquilo durante la noche y la cama doble era la cama más cómoda en la que he dormido.Comimos en ambas noches y disfrutamos mucho de todo lo que comimos. Las patatas fritas deben ser las mejores de los lagos. El desayuno también fue fabuloso.Aparcamos el viernes y no movimos el coche hasta que nos fuimos, encontramos muchos paseos directamente desde Bower House.Eskdale es un valle tan hermoso.El distanciamiento social se mantuvo en la medida de lo posible aunque difícil en la zona del bar.Tuvimos un gran fin de semana y sin duda volveremos.

Stayed here over the last weekend , lovely place, staff were excellent , very friendly , nothing too much trouble.The new covid regulations are being adhered to , one way system in the bar/restaruant., name and telephone number on arrival, plenty of hand sanitiser, and the room was spotless, the touch points being cleaned on a regular basis , just to keep everyones mind at rest. The bar is lovely and cosy , plenty of local cask ales, coule of ciders, usual lagers , I had to try all the casks , for medicinal purposes.. :) and would say the Hawks head bitter or the Bower House bitter were the best.Massive beer garden with a view to die for, and you wouldn't be anywhere near anyone else on another bench for those worried about social distancing , plenty of room for kids to play too.The food was very good and hearty , we had the Steak and ale pie , and hunter chicken burger , both were very good , the chips are double fied by the look of it , which makes them very tasty.Breakfast was excellent, full english , all with local produce , jusdging by the delivery van.All in all great little place, around a half hour walk into Dalegarth station for Eskdale , plenty of walks around , and around 6 miles to Wastwater .Would highly recommend to my friends

Lovely pub with a spacious garden and fantastic pub food. We were a group of 7, and everyone enjoyed their meals, especially the pies!!!

Arriving you have to complete a form (after sanitising first) for covid-19 then follow the one way system to your table. The menus are on the wall next to your table or you can look on Facebook, trip advisor or on-line to see menu. Tells you at table how long you have it reserved forOrder drinks at table, the bower house inn bitter is excellent, clean, crisp and hoppy at the same time! I had palate, it was home made with warm ciabatta bread, lovely onion chutney and salad. Had chicken, leak and ham pie. Huge portion with plenty of chips and lovely veggies that had been sautéed. Shortcrust pastry the melted in your mouth, huge lumps of chicken and ham, crunchy leaks and other veggies all with a smoked cheese sauce. Was just full of flavour, only thing I could criticise is it came with chicken gravy and I would have liked more of the cheese sauce (personal taste) but you can’t fault the flavourThe friendly service is excellent, engaging and so knowledgeable on their product

Fantastic place, very friendly staff even made our dog a sausage at breakfast, some lovely walks nearby

Yo, mi hijo y mi perro de 11 años, nos alojamos aquí por 2 noches el 19 y 20 de febrero, y todo lo que puedo decir es impecable, tuvimos una encantadora habitación doble con una gran ducha, era encantadora, cálida y acogedora. No podría desear nada más. Todo el personal fue genial y un crédito para este hotel, me hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos a mí y a mi familia. Estamos aquí las dos noches y la comida era perfecta, incluso le dieron a los perros golosinas, que siempre es bueno. Teníamos un inglés fabuloso completo las dos mañanas con ingredientes de primera clase Me encantaría volver a alojarme aquí sin dudarlo. 5 estrellas.

Me and 5 others of my teenage friends came to this pub for supper that night. The food was great! But I was the only one paying in cash and a lady there gave me the wrong change as I paid with two £20 notes and the price was around £25. So she pulled out £15 from the till and put the £10 of the £15 that she owned me on top of the till and avoided me as I knew that change she gave me (£5) was wrong. So after confronting them about me having less change than I should have had she immediately gave it to me.Could have been a mistake but I don’t think so...

Disfrutamos el Buffet de Nochevieja que fue extenso, lujoso y atendió a carnívoros como yo y veganos. El rosbif, el jamón, las medias empanadas de cerdo, los goujons de pollo y el excelente salmón horneado se encuentran entre las delicias memorables que disfruté. Una excelente ubicación, un gran servicio, un ambiente fantástico y Jim, un anfitrión más grande que la vida en el bar.

Excelente experiencia! Comida fantástica, calidad y cantidad por encima del tablero! Establecimiento peculiar y encantador. Personal amable y atento, al entrar en la pequeña recepción nos recibió un cálido fuego, maravillosa bienvenida intensificando buenas primeras impresiones. ¡Otros dos incendios ardían aquí! Solo vivimos a 40 minutos pero volveremos.

Lovely friendly staff. Rooms are comfy and clean. Food is excellent and plenty of it. Enjoyed our second visit

Lovely meal out on a busy Saturday night - the Inn was hosting a party, but this did not detract from the service or welcome we received. The food was excellent, served in lovely pub surroundings. The staff were friendly and jovial providing a perfect night out during a weekend away (and the dog was spoiled rotten).

Went there for a meal with 2 'locals', great choice and the food was excellent, Cajun Chicken, Moroccan Lamb, and a special. Price was good considering the quality, and additionally the beer was spot-on. Highly recommended but may need to book in advance .

We turned up on a Sunday evening not having booked. It was very busy but the staff found us a table & couldn’t have been more helpful. Lovely welcome and delicious food. A good selection of vegetarian food.

Excellent food, well priced, great staff and a beautiful location. We had Sunday lunch here on recommendation and were really pleased we did. There are great views to the rear, plenty of parking space and a small play are for the children.

On a last minute lake district trip we came in here for an evening meal. Our group of five found a table and ordered a meal each mine being Cajun salmon and sweet potato wedges.

Consistently good home cooked food here and great for the kids to run around with a football in the large garden. ( when it's not raining!) Would definitely recommend!

Lovely views, comfortable and cosy rooms with a hearty pub and will definitely be visiting again. A group of us (cycling) stayed for 1 night and some of us came later on but the kitchen were happy to sort some food for the latecomers. Welcoming staff and a lovely part of Cumbria. Would stay again.

A disappointing result all round - the location is good and the grounds are fine - but - we had to return a glass of wine due to someone's lipstick adorning the glass - which was promptly rectified with a generous replacement but shouldn't have happened - the fish pie had been frozen and the sauce had subsequently separated leaving the salmon tasting like dirty, oily dishwater. A young waiter didn't know how to respond to our complaint and although we should have taken it further we paid and left.

I Run a holiday cottage close by but don’t offer food so always send my guest to the Bower House and they are never disappointed. Had a large group of family and friends so popped in yesterday and food was great always good service. Didn’t book but they always seem to find a spot

Staying in Gosforth and had a Google for nearby places to eat. Glad this place came up. I would advise anyone to pre book. We turned up and it was very busy with reservations but the staff were friendly and accommodated us. They did advise they were out of Sunday dinners but this wasn't a problem for us as we hadn't booked and could still have anything of the normal menu. Food was delicious, i had the lamb shank and my friend had the cajun chicken. We were served in a timely manor. The bar was cosy with a lovely friendly atmosphere and if the weather was a little nicer we would have sat outside as the area looked lovely.

We stayed here recently and ate every night. The food is generally very good and portions are huge. Some of the specials changed everyday. Particularly good were the butternut soup and the steak pie. The curry wasn’t quite so tasty (too much oil). The new extension was a relaxing place to sit and eat and we never felt rushed. Recommended if you are in the area.

Saw the Bower House Inn whilst looking for somewhere to eat on my phones Google maps. Checked out the website and saw great reviews so booked a table. Only just got in, as was very busy. It was a great decision. We chose a variety of meals including Steak and Ale pie, leek and ham pie, cajun chicken, a burger, and a beef dinner. The food was absolutely beautiful, which meant empty plates all round. We only ordered a couple of desserts and these were equally delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and the pub itself was a lovely place, warm and welcoming. The beer garden was beautifully set out and would be lovely to sit out in. Unfortunately it was raining when we visited. Overall a fantastic visit, and will definately go back again!

Visited today for lunch and what can I say excellent service excellent food in a beautiful setting. The chicken hunter burger was excellent. Sat outside afterwards and had a drink and even though it was raining it was beautiful. Definitely our new favourite place.

Pasamos dos semanas en Eskdale y utilizamos bastante la Bower House. Las cervezas básicas de Loweswater Gold, Taylor’s Landlord, Bower House ale y Hawkshead Bitter gozaban de buena salud y también tenían una bomba para huéspedes cambiante que estaba bien cuidada y, por lo general, era una cerveza local. La cerveza tiene un valor decente a las 3. 60 pinta. La comida era muy buena ya un precio justo, el servicio excelente y acogedor. Este lugar es utilizado por los lugareños, lo que es genial de ver y con un partido de cricket un domingo en el campo trasero e Inglaterra ganando la Copa del Mundo de cricket al mismo tiempo que la atmósfera era estupenda. Realmente disfruté usando el Bower - sobresalientes y gracias. ??

We stayed at Muncaster castle and went out for a our evening meal to the Bower house Inn. Very nice food, plenty to choose from, staff very cheerful. Its a must to book a table if your going on a Saturday night as it gets mega busy

Fabulous food friendly staff and great selection of Gin ! Good choice of food and well priced everything delicious

This is a first for me,that i have wrote a second review on a hotel.I came in the winter of 2013 with snow on the ground,we were the only party staying.The ownership has changed and the area for food has been enlarged. In fact the conservatory is quite new,a good investment.

Great place for either a few drinks or a great meal. We ate there both nights while staying nearby. Very friendly staff, good beer and a wide selection of really good food.

Went for a Sunday lunch with my family. The atmosphere and staff were warm and welcoming. The beef, pork and lamb were all moist and very tasty. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and had a very pleasant buttery taste. The roasts were light, fluffy and crispy, the mashed potato was creamy and fluffy too. A great homemade Yorkshire pudding which was light and crispy, very tasty gravy too. Just the right amount of food for very hungry appetites. Would definitely recommend it and will certainly be returning

The award winning sign outside lured us in from a wet day for dinner. Fairly tired reception from the female host but did find us a table and warned that it was reserved from 7:30- no problem. At 7 asked to leave as table was required - no offer of apology, explanation or help to finish our drinks/dessert elsewhere. Food was reasonable but still fairly standard pub food and service was underwhelming. Shame because has a lot of potential and we really wanted to enjoy our evening. I would try elsewhere.

We came across the Bower thanks to a recommendation from the owner of our cottage, and we couldn't have been more impressed! A cosy, relaxed pub with a lovely conservatory and outdoor space. The staff were warm and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The pub itself has a great selection of beers, wines and gins and the food was fantastic - large, tasty, homemade food. Ideal after a trip up Skafell! We will definitely be back.

We stumbled upon the Bower House Inn on our way to our penultimate camping spot. Family friendly gardens with lots of space. We had one of the two things that were obviously plant based: Falafel, chick pea and spinach burger, with sweet pot’ fries. And it was delicious. The bar staff were very helpful and accommodating. If you need a scrummy affordable pub lunch, you won’t be disappointed...... also comes with one of the best pub views ever, especially when the rhododendron are in bloom on the hillsides.....

Didn’t eat here, but it’s a lovely pub in the lakes. There is a great selection of real ales and a friendly welcome :-)

Visitamos aquí durante su estancia en la zona. Estaba tranquilo cuando llegamos, pero se puso más ocupado más tarde. Pedimos el salmón con rissotto de limón y la salchicha cumberland servido con verduras en un pud gigante de yorks. Ambas comidas estaban bien cocinadas y deliciosas. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo aquí cuando esté en los lagos.
