Gosforth Hall Inn in Copeland

This is a wonderful place to stay. Clean, comfortable, welcoming. Lovely rooms, great food and beer all in a beautiful part of the UK.

Welcoming open fire on a very cold frosty evening. Varied menu, steaks, curry, scampi, burger etc but seemed to specialise in home made pies. A few of us went down the pie route (chicken & leak) & it was more than just a “pie” was very tasty. Is also dog friendly, quick service & choice of ales. All in all was a great evening.

Very mediocre meal. Really lovely staff but the whole place lacking. Overpriced, mid level food. Could be such a great place as the building and area is lovely, however sadly it’s not and we were left very disappointed.

The steak, bacon & mushroom pie was excellent & as good as the last time we visited before Covid. Portions were large but also of good quality. Mid range prices.

We’ve just stayed here for my birthday, we took our dog with us. The hotel is perfect, the rooms are clean and comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant which was amazing and the cocktails were delicious. The beer garden is great, it literally feels like you’re sitting in the med( the weather helped) . The staff were absolutely fantastic and helpful, they made such a fuss of our dog Max. I can highly recommend this hotel… we will definitely be back!

On our first night in Gosforth we found a superb place to eat. The beer garden is massive. So although there were other dogs there we were able to find a quiet spot in the corner undercover (dogs are allowed in the bar area too). They have a good selection of beers and the food is excellent (we ordered the steak, sea bass and the famous pie between us). We also went back on the Sunday for their festival and enjoyed standing at the outside bar listening to the bands. A great find. Highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel and restaurant. We only visited on an evening time for food and drinks whilst staying in Gosforth. Great choice of tasty food. Good quality drinks. Wonderful beer garden, with lots of seating. Would highly recommend a visit.

Came here as a family, 5 adults, 2 teens and a dog, on a recommendation of my son. We weren't disappointed. Lovely outdoor seating, perfect evening and a good family atmosphere, very dog friendly. Good drinks including a decent 0% beer. Our son raved about the pies here, choice of 3, but only one of the one we all wanted. Never had a pie so full of meat, I chose Moroccan lamb, which was delicious, son had venison and haggis pie, others all happy with their choices too. Finished off with the best Eton Mess ever had. Not the cheapest, but excellent quality. Best bit was our son paid as our 45th wedding anniversary present.

Let me say it does have an amazing beer garden quality furniture, ambient music, and really clean and dog friendly. The staff were fabulous very helpful and offered doggy treats. The drinks were well priced considering the location. The not so good was the lunch time tapas /light bites. frozen food, deep fried, and not of the best quality, I would have expected real onion rings they are not that hard to make, and the chicken wings were a little watery inside due to probably high heat and deep fried, so pricing to quality ratio was not as it should be, the cheesecake was delicious, but again the price point at nearly £9.00 for pre made cheesecake was a little high, I would go again enjoy the scenery the great surroundings but not to eat lunch/tapas, we eat out a lot and can normally get quality tapas 3 plates for around £12/14 for 3 from an independent restaurant. I felt £45 for dirty chips, haloumi bites, chicken wings, onion rings and 2 cheesecakes over priced

Whilst staying in the area we had dinner here. We had two lamb shanks and two Peronis. The bill came to £48. Food was good, came quickly and the staff were friendly and efficient. Would recommend

Fabulous dog friendly accommodation. Lovely room, enjoyable breakfast & had a tasty meal in the restaurant. The proprietors are so friendly who gave us the history of the hotel & grounds. Staff couldn’t do enough for us & the dog. We would visit Gosforth Hall again.

What a fantastic dinner we had in The Gosforth Hall Inn last night. We'd won a little money at the weekly quiz there and decided to recycle it by spending it on a meal and we certainly weren't disappointed. We opted to book our table in the ingle nook room which was very welcoming with a roaring log fire. Great service placing our food and drink order. To eat I opted for the Sea Bass, one friend opted for a lamb shank and the other curry. There wasn't a morsel left when we moved onto the desert course - 2 X Eaton Mess and 1 X Chocolate Brownie. Great meal, well cooked, presented and served. Highly Recommended 😁😁

Staff not the friendliest. Came in to an empty bar area and took a seat at a table only to be rudely snapped at “that table is taken”. No “reserved” signs as were on other tables. Waitress didn’t know the menu portions. When I asked how many pieces of scampi she replied “I don’t know, I don’t count them”. In my opinion this is a key selling point with scampi. Quality of the food was good.

Was staying local so popped in for dinner and we both left most of it. Shame as seating area was great.

Lovely food, nicely decorated and pleasant staff. Menu was quite varied and a great selection of gins Had a great outdoor seating area if you wanted to sit out and there were enough heaters to make sure everyone stayed cosy. We were 2 couples and there was plenty of choice to satisfy everyone. Good wine and beer selection as well.

We stayed at Gosforth Hall Inn last week and couldn't recommend it enough. The staff are great, really friendly and accommodating. They even made us a packed lunch as we left early on the last day so missed out on breakfast. The hotel itself is beautiful, lots of character and the rooms are spacious and clean, lovely food in the restaurant too. They even have an onsite cat who roams around the garden. Overall a lovely stay and we will be back! Thank you

My husband and myself visited the gosforth hall inn today Sunday 28 th July for a refreshment early afternoon and spoke to the owner lively guy and asked to book in for dinner he said if we came for 5 it would be no problem When we arrived the waitress asked us if had. Booking then told us they were fully booked I told her the owner said to come at 5 to which she relied oh great I’ve been here all day she finally offered us a table stuck away in a corner of the garden she finally took a drinks order 30 mins later took food order then never came back to ask how food was did need more drinks etc after hearing her greet other customers who didn’t have a booking but didn’t seem to be a problem for them We asked for sweet menu and more drinks but after a further 45 mins no one came to see us we asked for bill and left disappointed as food and hotel were amazing but staff were rude none attentive and couldn’t care less such a shame left feeling flat at the end of stay in Cumbria Staff training is paramount for this business we feel Laura and colin mcalpine

A nice country pub. The decor inside was a bit sparse but that might have been because they had taken some tables away because of Covid. The food was a bit mixed. My wild boar burger tasted of sausage meat - no sense of it being boar. And it didn’t come with the extras you expect with a burger (salad pickles etc) it was just a huge hunk of sausage. The rack of lamb was over cooked. But the creme brûlée was very nice. The service was friendly.

Great beer garden, very nice staff and the food is absolutely delicious!!!would recommend this place

The beer garden is good for a late afternoon drink particularly when the sun is out. It feels like you are in a sunken garden. The service from friendly staff (Joe) is excellent. We also ate there one night and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The mixed grill and the lamb cutlets were delightful with good sized portions. Would definitely come again!

Lovely place. Relaxed, with delightful staff and a genuine welcome. Spotless rooms, beautiful garden yet laid back enough to earnestly welcome dogs and walkers. If you’re emotionally retarded and don’t appreciate dogs in a hotel then no worries, they will segregate you into different accommodation and restaurant - both of a great qualityConvivial atmosphere- we met some lovely fellow travellers and hosts really try to ensure everyone is happy. Wasdale is not to be missed

Visited whilst staying down the road at 1692, booked a table with ease, service was good food was very good, price was good. Would definitely recommend.

Anything on the menu looked good. Breakfast was excellent. Sticky toffee pudding a must. But I am sure anything else would be excellent.

Very good local pub serving excellent food , we both had the tasty pies , venison and haggis and steak bacon and mushroom, very filling and large portions served by very friendly staff.

Fuimos a cenar allí mientras estuvimos en la zona y estuvimos encantados de haberlo elegido. Recibimos una cálida bienvenida cuando entramos en el bar para preguntar por una mesa y luego nos llevaron a su cómodo comedor, donde todo el personal nos cuidó. Las comidas que tuvimos fueron recién preparadas y deliciosas, solo ten cuidado ya que las porciones son generosas, ¡así que tienes hambre! Definitivamente regresaría si volvemos a la zona

Good proper wholesome food. It has a lovely outside area if the weather is nice for drinks. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly and dog friendly and great food beautiful garden and dogs also welcome inside highly recommend

Popped into Gosforth Hall for the first time for an impromptu breakfast to pass some time. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful. Staff were friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Quality service befitting the beautiful building itself. Will certainly be returning here!

a really nice pub with friendly staff and decent pub style food. They have a great range of pies alongside pub classics and done very good specials. Well worth a visit

Went for a meal, plenty of choice , delicious food. Friendly hotel. Wonderful staff, especially Richard, went out of his way with my greek salad and so naughty(in a funny sense) over a rabbit pie

A lovely old fashioned pub and restaurant, offering the best pies around. The menu also offers great home cooked meals. Great selection of beers and drinks. A visit is a must!

This was our first visit to this pub for a number of years and we enjoyed a good meal and service. Hubby had a pie and I tried the beef stroganoff and both were tasty, as were the selection of real ales. It was a very quiet, mid week evening and therefore lacking in atmosphere but i would go again.

Reputation for pies is upheld. Large, full of tasty filling & very satisfying. Chunky chips & garden peas with gravy made it a big meal.

A great pub set in a beautiful old building. A choice of real ales and a lovely fireplace to sit by. Both evening meals we had were excellent

Un hermoso edificio antiguo con un montón de personajes y personajes!

Following a walk from our cottage stay in Gosforth we called in for a drink with our dog. Lovely pub very welcoming especially for our dog great gin choice we will definitely return

Visited with family on Sunday after a lovely walk up Blengdale. Tasty pies, good ales, roaring fire and friendly hosts a lovely way to round off our vist to this lovely area. Thank you.

Brilliant pub - the pies were so tasty, good selection of ales, friendly staff, good value. Will be back!

Just stayed one night in this hotel. Had dinner here and had the best pie ever. I had chicken and leek,light crispy pastry, packed full of chicken and it was massive. My husband had the beef, he loved it too. The chips were crisp and tasty too. Don't leave this place without tasting the pies.

Local Inn with excellent rooms in Hall or annex. Good food, excellent pies but need a good appetite! Very healthy portions.

Old World pub serving hearty meals with excellent local ales. Very charming staff. Try the venison and haggis pie, it’s AMAZING. Make sure you’re hungry, the meals are huge. RECOMMEND.

There are always 2-3 pies on each day. We tried the steak, bacon and mushroom and also the Moroccan lamb. Both were excellent, stuffed full of meat and with great home cooked chips. There is an offer of pie for £10 on a Thursday saving £3. Our daughter had the steak which was huge and cooked just as ordered. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is that the rhubarb wasn’t cooked properly in the crumble and the service was a little slow. Definitely the best pub grub around though and well worth the drive for anyone staying in Wasdale area.

We ate at Gosforth Hall, it was my birthday and I was looking for something special. I had the lemon salmon with salad. The lemon salmon consisted of a salmon fillet with a lemon wedge next to it. The salad was lettuce, tomato, lots and lots of onions and bits of lemon rind and pith, not something I would normally eat in a salad or otherwise. Felt very let down with the whole meal. Staff and service were excellent.

We recently stayed at Gosforth Hall and was so pleased with the hotel,food and staff. Particular thank you to Thomas who looked after us amazingly. Well worth a stay and eat.

Had a great meal here while staying at Eskdale Green definitely worth the trip There pies are definitely recommended

We stumbled across Gosforth Hall Inn after a long couple of days walking in the Lakes. 4 hungry men and we weren't disappointed! Lovely selection of pies, ales and friendly chatty helpful staff. Don't drive past, make sure you pop in, you won't be disappointed.

Wrote a review a year or so ago saying how nice this place is.Been coming to the area walking for years and always visited the go to places in a Wasdale Head,Nether Wasdale or even Boot or Santon Bridge but now always call in here.It’s a really nice place with exceptionally friendly staff and the food is really nice.They really look after the beer as well and easily the best pint we’ve had in the area this weekend and we’ve had a few Last night tomorrow so will call in for a beer and give our thanks for the lovely service we’ve received over the weekend

Called to book earlier in the day for the phone be answered by the cheerful chef, seated in the lounge bar with the children and the dog next to the roaring log burner, the dog was warmly welcomed and got given a doggy treat even before our drinks orders were taken... service was spot on provided by very friendly staff, to the point of being offered a sample of beer before committing to a whole glass to check I liked it... the food was lovely, child's portion very generous as were all the adult mains .. even the chef popped out to our table to check everything was ok! I could not fault the food, service or atmosphere! I wish this place was my local!!!

Great pub. Pies were very tasty, staff were friendly and log fires were very welcome. Definitely recomend.

The staff were lovely and attentive. The food was varied and good quality and reasonably priced All in all worth a visit.

Each time we visit Gosforth Hall, we are never disappointed. The location, food and service that we receive is just the best and the location is perfect for a couple like us who like walking the Lake District fells. Top notch place! Will definitely be returning.

We ate here because the reviews were good and the weather was terrible and we needed pie therapy! My partner was very happy with his sweet chilli pulled pork pie and I mostly enjoyed the inside of my 'spicy lamb' pie. It had good quality lamb in it but wasn't very spicy or exciting and the crust, oh my goodness! I couldn't get my cutlery through parts of it without a struggle. It was also quite dry and could have done with much more gravy. My mum enjoyed her cheese melt chicken which was full of meat. My son was disappointed at the lack of choice for 'normal' taste buds and opted for a you-know-where-you-are-with-it burger and asked for any 'frills' to be held back. They enjoyed their puddings. I did think it a rather expensive pie house.

Stayed here overnight on business. The room I was in was beautifully decorated and the bed was the best night sleep I've had in a long time. The pillows are amazing!

Vine aquí por primera vez con un grupo de entusiastas de la sidra ale/de Carlisle. Es un encantador hotel del siglo 17 con detalles originales y muy interesantes. La casera era muy conocedor del pub de la historia. Comimos en el comedor de atrás. Teníamos sobresaliente servido con patatas fritas ensalada de cebolla frita y huevo anillos de piña. Estaba delicioso y una enorme grasientos. Todos disfrutamos de sus comidas. El jardín de la cerveza es grande y tranquila, y como era un día soleado fue de lo más agradable. Es una lástima que es tan difícil de llegar sin su propio transporte ya nos encantaría volver. Las cervezas estaban muy bien (lástima que no hay verdadera sidra). En general una excelente acogedor pub. Altamente recomendado.

We've been coming on walking trips to the Wasdale area for years but had never even ventured into this pub.It was only when we booked a cottage in Gosforth we decided to pop in for a beer and check it out.We were pleasantly surprised how...

Metimos en camino para ir de compras durante su estancia en el pueblo y terminamos en el lugar durante 6 horas! La razón? Personal amable fabulosa, una buena selección de cervezas locales y los pasteles! ! Ah las tartas! ! Así que bueno que volvimos...

Una especie de cruce entre un hotel y un pub. Precioso edificio con mucho carácter. Comida bien presentada y muy sabroso. Las tartas son deliciosas tartas hechas a mano, la correcta. Buen servicio. Ve allí si te apetece algo un poco diferente, tanto en la...

Excelente personal alegre y agradable habitación inmaculada lugar perfecto para alojarse, aunque caro, pero recomendaría

Tienes que probar la tarta, que no puede ser mejor. Conseguimos el pollo y fuga, creo que dormir durante una semana después de comer. Gran relación calidad-precio. Volveré

Fuimos allí para una comida pre-graduación con mi hija y su pareja. Comida excelente, aunque se quedaron sin patatas fritas justo antes llegamos, así que tuvimos que tener puré con nuestra tartas, pero el puré estaba delicioso. La comida era deliciosa, buena selección de entrantes, platos principales y postres especiales; el personal era extremadamente amable y servicial; la gama de bebidas era enorme - un montón de diferentes tipos de bebidas alcohólicas y una buena variedad de cervezas. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

I didn't give five stars because they have got to be reserved for somewhere like l'Enclume! We have never had anything other than a good food experience here. Whether it be breakfast or dinner, you can rely on an appealing, sensibly short menu. I say 'sensibly short' because so often menus try to offer everything and end up doing nothing very well. Rod's pies are well known in the area and always have some mouth watering fillings. They are a great meal - quite literally! The menu offers various alternatives for the more faint hearted or diet conscious amongst us. Along with a reasonable wine list, good cask ales and great staff, this is a good place to be. The owners take great pride in what they do and, like l'Enclume, they also offer very comfortable rooms.

Had a lovely evening with friends at Gosforth Hall. Great entertainment and good wine Great atmosphere and crack with Barbara and Rod. Although didn;'t eat on this occasion, the food looked and smelt amazing and feedback from customers who were dining was very good.

My wife and I ate at the gosforth hall around 4 weeks ago for the first time ,after hearing comments from other people. We were not disappointed, we had really nice food , bottle of wine and a few drinks. We then made our way through to the bar area, where we started chatting to the landlord and a few others in the bar. I had a game of bones( dominoes) for a while then left rather tipsy. We revisited again last week, to be warmly greeted by the landlord ,who made us welcome. We are going this bank holiday for the beer fest, hog roast and bands playing.i would definitely recommend this hotel,pub.!!!

Had a lovely relaxing weekend at Gosforth Hall Inn. The hosts were charming even introducing us to their gorgeous German shepherd puppies!! The food was delicious n the staff were really accommodating allowing us to make little changes to our choices. Can highly recommend the tuna salad!! They've recently renovated the beer garden which is stunning spent 2 lovely evenings in front of the log burner even though it rained!We've even booked again for the annual beer festival

Good beer, friendly staff, lovely garden and fabulous pies. We tried the venison and haggis and the broccoli and Stilton. Other meals were equally as good. Well worth a visit.

Decided on pulled pork and venison & haggis pies. Followed by two sticky toffee puddings. All amazing washed down with two nice pal ales. Cosy and friendly pub.

We arrived on Sunday night at 9pmEven though we were hotel guests we were told that they had just closed the kitchen. They didn't even show sympathy. We ended up buying food at the near by petrol station.

The food and service in this restaurant was excellent. Food is cooked to order so do not expect 'fast food' but any wait is well worth it. Their pies are a speciality and are just fab! Definitely value for money. The restaurant is not very large but meals can be eaten in the bar and also outdoors on the patio. Definitely recommend.

Always a pleasure to come here as you are always greeted with a happy smile :-). You get the warm feeling as soon as you walk in. The hotel annex rooms are lovely and clean and modern with all the mod cons. There is now an early checkout capability when asked. Food is excellent and would always recommend the home made lie. Love it in the winter when the fire comes on they you really know you are in the country. Certainly recommend this place!!

Only wanted a light bite so opted for a couple of starters well knowing that the mains are substantial. The smoked salmon and asparagus salad with beetroot and horse radish cream was an absolute delight. Well done yet again

Lovely restaurant, good food, good range of choices and really kind staff. The food is served quite fast too.

Stayed at the gosforth hall inn with my hubby for our wedding anniversary. The room was beautiful, clean and cosy. We eat in the restaurant and the food was simply amazing! I opted for one of the famous pies and it didn't disappoint. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic too.. Everything you could want was available. The staff we're very friendly and couldn't do more for you. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to going again soon

Have just returned from a weekend break in Gosforth and feel I need to make a comment regarding Gosforth Hall's restaurant. We visited the restaurant on Friday night the 19th of Feb and were looking forward to a drink and a good meal in the restaurant. I must say the pub is quite lovely with a good atmosphere and a welcoming warm fireplace which added to the expectation to our evening. The menu looked appealing with a good choice of dishes and we ordered our meals, I ordered the house special curry and my partner ordered the lamb casserole. Our meals arrived duly and looked delicious, however this is where things changed a little for the worse. My partners dish as stated was the lamb casserole which looking at the dish you would have seen 2 lamb cutlets covered in a rich gravy with accompanying vegetables. She cut into the lamb and started to eat her meal whilst we chatted and enjoyed our evening, however after her first mouthful she looked at me cut a portion of the cutlet and said this is not lamb its pork ! She cut a further part of the cutlet and clearly you could see this was not a lamb cutlet but a pork cutlet, now both us are not the complaining type but it was felt we needed to clarify with a member of staff our confusion with ordered lamb casserole, the response we got was it was definitely lamb even when my partner sliced the cutlet and showed the staff member, as anyone will agree pork tends to be a white meat whilst lamb a rather brown meat when cooked. The member of staff however still insisted it was lamb even saying it might be an older sheep ! If that was the case then we would have been seeing a portion of mutton which again is brown appearing meat when cooked. Whilst the member of staff wasn't exactly rude her attitude was a tad condescending, now at this point I could have made of fuss and upset the atmosphere of the other diners but held my temper in check. The member of staff did offer to change the meal but there was no real empathy with my partner nor an acknowledgment that the cutlet was not lamb but pork. At no point was it our attention to create a fuss nor look for recompense, by this time I had almost finished my meal so the offer to change the dish was too late. My partner did not finish her meal which rather ruined the evening, we had a sweet which was good and then decided we wanted to pay up and leave. However my partner did feel she wanted to make her feelings known to the member of staff before we payed, again there was no acknowledgement of my partners complaint just a condescending comment about that the member of staff had the dessert herself and was not pork, the result when the bill arrived was a £3 reduction ! We payed and left, my impression of Gosforth Hall is one of disinterest where customers are concerned and where there is a paying customer paying £50 for a meal a little more interest in what the customer is saying would be appreciated.

Very good food especially the home made pies! Have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. Local produce made fresh

A friend from work recommended we try a meal here sometime, and on a Thursday evening (weary from a long day at the office) we did. It's a little difficult to find if you're not familiar with the village, but with seeking out. Our server was Nikki (sorry if misspelled). She was absolutely delightful - fun, knowledgable, and professional. All of the staff were attentive. The food was very good. My chicken and leek pie was full of flavourful meat, the accompanying peas and freshly made chips were cooked to perfection. (The only thing I would change is to serve any gravy on the side.) My husband ordered the Cajun spiced salmon. The fish was perfectly cooked, the seasoning had just the right amount of heat. They had plenty of local beer on tap, are dog friendly, and just enough olde worlde-ness to make you feel you've been to a proper pub. Thoroughly enjoyable. Must remember to thank our friend on Monday!

What a wonderful place to stay. It's such a refreshing change to find a hotel that doesn't think it's OK to put dog owners in their worst rooms which are always second class! We arrived and were very warmly welcomed by Barbara the owner. Our room B7 was in a new build or barn converted annex separate from the main hotel. The room was beautiful. Attention had been paid to details a huge comfortable bed, fabulous shower in a gorgeous bathroom. The floor was wooden so great for dogs! Our evening meal and breakfast were beautiful. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough to help. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Barbara and staff for a wonderful weekend

Within walking distance of our visit so drinking wasn't hampered during our stay. Food is great, recommend the pies there.

The Gosforth Hall Inn had been recommended to us. So we quickly visited in the evening and were told we could sit in the bar with the wheelchair, and did not need to make a booking.So we arrived at about 7:30 and ordered bar meals including Fish and Chips etc. So then we waited, and waited etc., for well over an hour. Enquiries as to the whereabouts of our meal were met with, 'the table bookings in the restaurant come first, your meal is on it's way'.When it eventually did turn up, one person left the fish, as it was nothing like that described on the menu. I struggled through mine because of hunger, and nothing else. Another member of the group had a pie, which they said was fine.The bar service was fine, no problems at all, the meal was a sad disappointment.We will not be visiting Gosforth Hall Inn again.

This restaurant has very friendly staff and make you feel very welcome. They have very special pies, my husband had spicy Moroccan lamb, other included buffalo and many more. The pies are quite large but full of meat. Gordon Ramsey had called in that day and was coming back to eat the following Saturday. The chips are to die for. We had a four year old with us who was tired and ratty and wanted to eat porridge, that was exactly what he got. The staff were happy to keep the four year old happy. I would recommend this restaurant.

I’ve been staying at this wonderful hotel whilst in the area on business for the last 5 years and from day 1 there has always been a warm welcome. The rooms are excellent especially the newly refurbished ones in the old hall. There is a good selection of beers and a varied menu which is always of excellent quality. I tried other hotels / eating places in the area but nothing compares to the Gosforth Hall. The staff are extremely friendly and will always help with any requests. Would highly recommend.

After a long walk we were walking passing and looking in the window to see if they were open. The woman from behind the bar came out and told us to come in. The atmosphere was great, music playing, fire burning and the barmaid asked about our day. We both ordered pie (one kangaroo the other steak) and chips and it was amazing!! Can't wait to go back :-)

We stayed for two nights. The hotel is tastefully decorated and has a friendly atmosphere. The staff are professional and seem genuinely happy to be working - which means the service is great. The food was amazing. I am a vegetarian and often find the veggie food can be a bit flavourless. Not here, I really enjoyed the food. They have a beer garden and are dog and family friendly. The owners (Rod and Barbara) are clearly passionate about good service and are really lovely people. The hotel is only a short drive away from Skarfell and the surrounding views are definitely worth a look. Will definitely come back for another stay.

Few drinks with the girls, perfect to sit in the beer garden enjoying a jug of pimms, or two...Small bar but lovely staff and for a village full of contractors prices are reasonable.

This place was booked for me as I was travelling in the area. I was late in and had to order quickly from the menu. Opted for the sirloin steak medium rare. When it came it was perfectly cooked and had hand cut chips with it. Very friendly attentive staff made the meal an all round very pleasurable experience.

Went for a quick meal and ended up having a 3 course dinner. Starter of black pudding salad was very tasty as was the goats cheese that my wife had.The mains of pan fried duck and a tuna nicoise were excellent. Dinner ended with a couple of deserts that would not be found on any diet sheet.All in all a very fine meal.

I ate here last Saturday night as other eatery in area was fully booked and was glad I did, I had the signature tuna steak ( I think it is because there is a picture of the dish as you go in the restaurant!) without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best meals I've ever had.my friend pie looked awesome, with homemade chips and gravy.will definitely return

This looks like a very nice restaurant but the food let's it down.....unfortunately for us we were there when a golf crowd were in...so very noisy.There were no steaks on the menu and no burgersI had tuna steak...very tasteless and looked like it had been microwaved ..two thin pieces...no seasoning...We were there on a Saturday night, there were only 2 staff serving, couldn't get their attention to order more drinks.Shame as it looks lovely ....

Lovely setting in this old inn. We were quite late for lunch so it wasn't busy but the service was friendly and efficient whilst the pies were well worth the visit. I had the Steak and Ale version whilst my wife had the Moroccan lamb. A very hearty helping and sustained us during our walk in the afternoon! Great value for money given the quality of the food and the surroundings. The range isn't huge but from what I could see from my fellow diners you won't be disappointed whatever you choose.

We were here for two friends' birthday party and had a great time. The food for lunch was good and the bar was really friendly with a good range of drink. Stuff in the garden for kids to play on. Big screen for the rugby. Also free parking. What more do you need?

Staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was good and the food was well cooked and they had a varied menu that was not too large. The only down side, if you can call it that is that the portions are on the big side, a pity as I like dessert!

Was a nice meal, venison and haggis pie was lovely, only Minor thing is it said £11 odd for the pie and got charged £12.50 but was worth it anyways everything else was good, friendly staff, they even gave the dogs some treats as a bonus lol

I have eaten in the restaurant here 3 or 4 times and never been disappointed. My one tiny gripe would be having one menu between 4 of us, but everything else is great. On the face of it the menu looks like basic bar food but you will be pleasantly surprised when your food arrives. The quality & presentation is very good and you get loads. The pies are especially good value and the choice is good. The staff are all lovely and very friendly. Highly recommended

Being cold wet miserable and hungry, I ventured to the local for a bite to eat and a pint, what I got was a meal with remembrance, pie peas and chips with gravy. Just what the doctor ordered. Moroccan lamb, seasoned to perfection,, hand cooked chips, thick gravy and tasty mushy peas, washed down with real ale. Splendid atmosphere, polite staff, and happy locals. Will be definitely going back again.

Last minute booking on a Sunday evening, pie night. Husband had kangaroo, I had Moroccan lamb, both huge, both delicious, both filling and both served with very tasty chips! They catered for the little one and made us feel very welcome. Thank you x

Whilst the breakfast was adequate with good, friendly service the evening meals were poor in comparison.

Ate here this evening and had a lovely meal. I tried one of the pies that they had on the specials board and it was superb. Good selection of beers which is a must for any eatery in my opinion. With a very help waiter who gave good advice of the best beer. If it was local to us we would defiantly be regulars. Good value for an excellent feed.

We ate here again last night, and the food is just superb. THey have a new chef who is amazing, There is always something different on the specials board, the presentation is lovely and nothing is ever too much trouble.If there is something on the menu but you want to alter it slightly then you can.They cater for children and those with special dietry requirements.There is always a friendly face in the bar area. Dave the Bar Manager is very welcoming and an excellent bar manager, he will notice if your drink is low and offfer you another and bring it to you without you even having to leave your seat.Rod & Barbara (the owners) have built up a lovely pub, hotel & restaurant. Well behaved dogs are welcome and they too get fed, with dog treats from the treat drawer, our little dog quite often gets a biscuit before we've had chance to sit down, all the staff are friendly with both humans and dogs. Our little dog loves to see the staff as he gets fussed so much.The new annexe is amazing and also dog friendly for those that want to travel with their 4 legged friend.We'll be visiting here for years to come I'm sure.

I go here quite often with family and friends, it caters for all kinds, I can't get enough of the food that they serve it's superb. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere with fires in each of the bar rooms, a restaurant section at the back as well, always have nice ale on, I can't fault it! Will be making more trips to them I'm sure!

You must go here if you are in the area, the pies are heavenly, we tried the Chicken and Leek, Steak and Moroccan all were excellent. We had visited before and have never been disappointed with the food or atmosphere, very friendly helpful staff.

Superb food and great staff that really look after you. there are rumours of ghosts in the old restaurant building so, if you are concerned ask for a room in the newly built annexes.I've never seen any ghosties but some of my colleagues swear they have!!Rooms in main building are full of character but watch your head on the steps! The new rooms are fabulous and also ideal for walkers/holidays as they have their own 'kitchen' area.
