Ellie's Food Hut in South Lakeland

The staff were very nice the breakfast was so bad bens almost warm , bacon was over cooked beans cheap and nasty all in all for the price stay clear 14 pounds for that is so bad only plus side scrambled eggs was so nice and fresh

Great hotel room a bit rustic and stuffy but what do you expect from a 400 year old house. Room location was still clean. The beer selection was very large and tasty, just like the breakfast..

“Let’s stop for ice cream” we said. “It’ll be a treat for the kids” we said. It wasn’t. Honestly we nearly lost the will to live. Not the fault of the people serving but the convoluted menu of ice cream sundaes and milkshakes which each took about a week to make. We only wanted ice cream and were waiting around 45 minutes which honestly just wasn’t worth it. It wasn’t just us as several groups abandoned the queue while we were waiting. Need a fast-track queue for customers wanting ice cream only. Won’t be returning.

We came twice this Bank Holiday to meet family and friends as we like this place from previous experiences. Unfortunately, this once very nice pub with good service and helpful staff, failed on this occasion. Toilets were poorly maintained i.e. door locks and toilet paper missing. We attempted to order food just before 2pm (menu stated serving until 3pm), only to be told that they take no more orders as kitchen is too busy. This affected our plans. In addition, waitress refused to switch on heaters in the beer garden. We were told that they can only be on when outside temperature was under the certain level. Please note that it was 11 C and we were in the shade with no place to sit inside! After pointing this out to the waitress, she shouted a rude comment: “I am not cold!”. Overall, it seems that the place is badly managed. We will probably give it another chance for old time sake, but we might avoid it if continues to deteriorate.

Lovely quaint little pub, super dog friendly, great service Had a lovely chippy Tuesday meal & my room is stunning & nice and cool despite the sunshine in Brown Cow rooms
