Langstrath Country Inn in Allerdale

A fabulous hidden gem nestled in the sleepy village of Stonethwaite. Delicious food , fabulous service and very friendly staff ! The inn is very interesting with lots of ancient artefacts too .

I was a guest at Stonethwaite campsite what we have been stopping at for the last couple of year's, but this year after coming into this bar with the warden of the campsite for drinks and food, the attitude of the staff to myself was very disgusting because we were stopping on campsite, they didn't want or custom. This lovely country pub used to very nice and friendly. No what I no know after one of the staff threatened the warden he was going to stab him, I will never introduce anyone to come to this bar again, if your after a friendly bar to go to go to Yew Tree pub at seatoller.

Really excellent service from Craig who made us feel really welcome. The chicken sandwich and cauliflower soup were the best we’ve had!!

I stopped here on a walk, as the Inn is clearly literally at the "end of the road". It's tucked away in pretty Borrowdale, so walking and cycling are the best ways to reach it. There is a bus service to Stonethwaite but I believe you have to walk along the access road from the bus stop to the Inn which is right at the far end of Stonethwaite hamlet. I was walking on the footpath between Stonethwaite and Rosthwaite, so I only stopped for a cuppa in the beer garden - can't comment on rooms. Service was quick. The second photo is Stonethwaite beck taken from Stonethwaite bridge near the Inn, the third photo shows the Borrowdale fells, taken from the footpath beside Stonethwaite beck - a pleasant easy walk that can start or finish at the Inn. Parking is limited in Stonethwaite, best to visit on foot or bike!

Deciding not to stop and eat in Keswick we thought we’d drive on and hope we’d find a traditional country pub to have a light lunch in. Eventually found signs describing a country inn and found ourselves here. We received a welcoming greeting and duly took a menu; we found little choice and what was there seemed rather pricey - sandwiches with a few crisps £10; a bowl of chips (fries) £7 - add cheese for a further £2; hot food such as fish and chips or a pie meal around £20. We settled on sharing a sandwich and chips; these were served quickly, nicely presented but nothing out of the ordinary and we felt it overpriced for what it was. If you’re walking in the area I’m sure this is a welcome spot to stop, but if driving it’s not somewhere I’d seek out again.

Four of us had a late Sunday Roast here on 24/3. We had a long walk up and down the Langstrath Valley so pretty hungry by the time we arrived for lunch. The staff were extremely accommodating, the food was superb and the location and interior were excellent. We had a selection of roasts and all of them were brilliant, more than enough food, even for hungry walkers. We would definitely return and would not hesitate in recommending the Langstrath Inn. Thank you.

It had been a long time so very happy to return! During a recent stay we were able to squeeze in three visits :) Very well placed at the end of a Borrowdale hike and and if you have to resort to a car (elderly family and driving rain) there is ample parking/easy access. We called in for a drink or two, no issue with mud and damp dogs, very welcoming staff. We also booked an evening meal with family members - excellent food and service. Our vegetarian was well catered for also. Last visit was with elderly relatives, again warm welcome and a good experience thank you. We booked for our meal as if residents decide to eat in the public bar instead of the restaurant it can get a bit busy.

Appalling attitude from a member of staff (Barman, Bold head, tattoos). First we asked for an expresso, he refused to make it so a lady behind the bar kindly made this for us. He then went on a rant about the campsite close by labelling everyone who stayed there a “drug addict” and he hated the custom from anyone from the campsite, the bar should just be for locals and people who stay there. I found his tone and attitude disgusting so much so we left and ended up not eating at the pub. It would be such a shame if the national trust do take over the fields and end up not allowing any campers in the area…wouldn’t be good for business as I’m sure the “drug fulled” campers help with business.

Second time we have been here and the experience has been the same both times. Beautiful food and even nicer staff! Came in for Sunday lunch with the kids. We ordered 2 roasts, one lamb, one beef and chicken goujons. All of the food was served in a timely manner, nice and hot. Janine who looked after us was gorgeous. So friendly amd genuinely interested in having a nice conversation. We ordered desserts after, my daughter recommends the sorbet. The apple crumble was also a hit! Overall lovely experience. We will be back!

What a find! We spent two evenings here, having dinner and drinks either side of walking up Sca Fell Pike. First of all the staff and management were lovely, friendly people and did everything they could to cater to our needs. Genuine and down-to-earth they made it feel like a home from home. Secondly the food was fantastic for the very reasonable prices and we ate 2 courses each day. Finally the Borrowdale real ale was one of the best I've had. All in all I'd highly recommend a visit.

Booked for 7pm for dinner hoping to have awake before hand to make a pleasant evening. Typical heavy Cumbria rain meant we cut the walk short and turned up early. The staff made us very welcome and accommodated us and made the whole evening very enjoyable. The food is good “pub grub” prepared to a high standard. We will be back again hopefully on a drier evening.

Jesus Christ where to begin. Food - Expensive but for a reason. Incredible, cannot recommend highly enough. I had a ribeye steak, which was perfectly cooked, with a mind blowing peppercorn sauce, a huge portion of homemade chips and beautifully cooked tomatoes and a flat mushroom. Guinness was an 8/10 and a huge selection of great single malt scotch. Don’t let the price deter you, this is a hidden gem.

Can I say ,I did not attend this family get together. But on feed back from my family , the food and the service was excellent. My son had been out walking all day and arrived very late and very wet, but staff where great with him. I will not miss the next one. Thank you 18/6/23

Oh dear, I have never come a less hospitable pub in the lake district. Unable to serve 6 portions of chips due to being "short staffed" but still able to serve meals. We ate Sunday dinner 2 days ago which was average at best and certainly overpriced at £20 for a steak pie £18 for sausage and chips. Went back this evening just for a snack but rudely dismissed. I would reccomend any other pub in borrowdale ahead of here. Certainly the scafell Hotel was much more accommodating.

We phoned ahead on the day, and secured a table for 18:45 from the helpful waiter. There is a good carpark just past the inn, to the right. We were given lovely fresh bread with pesto with our drinks. I had garlic prawns to start; super tasty, and I mopped up the butter and herbs with the bread. We both had roast lamb for our main course; amazing tender lamb, perfectly done to pink perfection, with great greens, colcannon mash and black pudding.

We visited The Langstrath while staying near Keswick and it was the best meal we had during our 2 week stay in England which included a week in London. The steak and ale pie was packed with tasty meat; the sea bass was a very generous portion and delicious and the stuffed chicken was succulent with crispy seasonal vegetables. The service was excellent - big thank you to Dan . Definitely the place to eat if you are in this area.

I have come to the Langstrath for years as a regular to the Lake District. I have always rated it with lovely food and friendly staff. More recently the prices have become ridiculous. last week I came and I felt £20:75 for a steak pie Hefty… but there was a good amount of steak and it was a proper pie… it was yummy so I paid. Tonight I had sea bass. Now I have always been led to believe a sea bass is filleted into two pieces. I was shocked that for £19:50 I got half a portion (one small fillet) and I walk away hungry and disappointed. I certainly wasn’t going to pay £9.25 for a pudding

We booked for Sunday lunch. The service was great both in the bar and the restaurant. the lady serving us was most helpful and friendly, nothing was too much bother! We had the set lunch menu both meat and vegetarian in the party and both were great and good value. Food was hot and fresh and we enjoyed the whole experience. There is plenty of space for wasting in the restaurant, bar or outside. We will be back.

Visited on a Saturday night. We arrived early for our dinner reservation so sat in the bar which has a nice atmosphere including a log fire. The restaurant was well presented and clean. The service was fine, we requested to eat earlier and so that was accommodated, the lady that served us was polite and welcoming but I wander if she could of done with a bit of help when the dining room got busier. This would of been of been a 4 star review were it not for the food, which was a little uninspiring - we both had the smoked chicken and duck which was tasty but didn’t seem to be homemade, our mains of steak were well cooked and tasty with a nice Diane sauce but the chips were so chunky they were almost not cooked and certainly not crispy, and the steamed veg needed a dressing or seasoning.

Had lunch, food, beers and service all very good. Limited menu but all very good quality. My friend enjoyed her gluten free fish and chips.

We had dinner here Friday night and then because the food was so tasty we came back for Sunday Lunch. Really can’t fault the food but did think it was quite expensive. Sunday lunch was reasonably priced and was actually cheaper than if you had soup and sandwich which didn’t seem to make sense. Very friendly service and would recommend to other visitors.

We were staying about a mile away from this pub / restaurant but wanted to try after reading so many positive reviews. We tried to call to book a table but couldn't get through so we gambled with walking over and were greeted by the warming lights of a pub in a cold february night. When we arrived we were told we may have a short wait for a table as they were reserved however, the staff were brilliant in getting us a table between bookings which we did not mind moving to accomodate. They did offer us a table in the restaurant however, as we'd been hiking for most of the day we didn't feel appropriatly dressed. I ordered the steak pie which was £17 but the portions were fair and very tasty. It was reassuring to see some veggie and vegan options on the menu also which I would try next time. The staff were fantastic, couldn't do enough for us and very chatty. I can't wait to return her next time I'm in the lakes.

Taking Covid-19 seriously which was good to see. Delicious food, interesting menu, clean restaurant and friendly staff. I would return

Great Keswick and Wainwright real ale on draught, fab generously filled butties, roaring log fire, friendly staff, and all in the middle of nowhere. Perfect. Was the halfway point for our hike over Castle Crag. Plan a walk around this place, you won't be disappointed.

Sentado al final de Borrowdale rodeado de un paisaje glorioso, Langstrath es un gran hallazgo. Nuestra habitación (2) era espaciosa y parecía decorada recientemente. Buen baño / ducha y cama grande y cómoda.El salón para residentes era acogedor y el bar público estaba bien abastecido con buena cerveza y whisky para disfrutar después de un día en las montañas.Propina. . . Reserve la cena junto con la habitación. . . Es una caminata larga y larga para comer en otro lugar si quieres tomar una copa.Buena variedad de desayunos cocinados. Gachas no en el menú, pero parecía disponible si se le pide.Solo críticas. . . ¿En qué estás pensando con el terrible café? . . ? ¿El peor instante de Nescafé en una gran olla de metal? . . . claramente no hay bebedores de café a cargo aquí.En general, un gran lugar para relajarse después de explorar las montañas. Buena suerte con el clima en la parte habitada más lluviosa de Inglaterra

Mantendré esto breve. . A veces menos es más. . Amable, acogedor, limpio, tranquilo, buena comida, excelentes cervezas. . Eso lo resume todo. Me alojé con mis 2 terriers disfrutamos cada minuto. . ¿Qué más quieres? . Por qué la gente pone críticas negativas realmente me supera. . Karen es adorable. . . Gracias de nuevo. . Andrew, Helen, Freddy e Islay. .

Stayed 28th September 2019. Great little hotel/Inn situated in the Borrowdale valley, ideal if you're doing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite Farm. Nice room, very comfy bed. Great pub downstairs, good selection of beers, friendly staff. We ate in the restaurant during our two night stay but the same menu was available in the bar. (Reservations needed!) The food, evening meal and breakfast, was delicious.Great place, will definitely return.

My return visit here was on day 1 of 6 walking the Inn Way with a friend after my aborted attempt with my wife a few years back. After a rather tough day walking in the rain from Ambleside via Grasmere, we appreciated a warm welcome and enjoyed our pint of a local ale plus a glass of fine malt whisky.

We both really enjoyed our lamb burgers. The onion rings were the best I've ever tasted (and I'm not normally a fan of onion rings). A nice atmosphere talking to other lunch-time walkers.

In a very pretty village, stunning surroundings. The food was excellent, not the usual pub restaurant fare, though portions very small and prices high. Very nice restaurant. Our waitress was lovely, very chatty and helpful. Needs to have recognition for the attentiveness, Garden to sit in but we were told we couldn’t eat our meals outside, a shame because it was extremely hot day

After a long walk round the valley we stopped for a well earned pint . Dog friendly beer garden , very quiet location in the valley which is off the beaten track. Recommend.

We stayed here four nights and had dinner here three times. The food is excellent! I had the steak and ale pie one night, the salmon the next night and the lamb the last night. Each was very good and better than the night before. My wife had the salmon, the pork and finally the Cumberland sausage. She liked the salmon the best. They have a great outdoor area to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery and warm sun. Service is great. Steph was our waitress and could not have done a better job - very sweet young lady!

Comfortable room although a little small to fit in with our two small suitcases. Large modern bathroom and large bathtub which was welcome at the end of a long day of hiking. We spent two nights here and loved the location. A very busy establishment with the staff obvious,y working very hard. Anyone we dealt with was friendly, welcoming and helpful, although I would say they are understaffed. Waiting times to take orders at dinner were long on both nights we were there. The food was delicious though, and overall we enjoyed our stay.

Having stumbled across this immaculately presented place not too far from where we were staying for a few days, we honestly thought we had found a hidden gem and a place where we would likely have a couple of meals and a few drinks. Well, we did try but finally gave up and have no intention of going back. We should have got the message on the first visit when we called in for a drink at lunchtime - the reception was frosty at best and when I asked to see the evening menu, wow, talk about a harsh response. Anyway, we ventured further afield that night so didn’t return that day but chose to give it a go for dinner the following evening. The frosty reception had clearly not been a one off at it was still there, healthy and well. Upon ordering a bottle of wine, I was made to feel like I was an inconvenience and when I plucked up the courage to ask the old goat waitress for a menu, all she could do was hit me with a barrage of negativity telling me how long we would have to wait. Guys, you have a lovely place and your food looked good but expensive for what it was. Your attitude stinks, you seriously have a hell of a lot to learn about manners, your customer service is shocking and you are a perfect example of a Lakeland business that takes tourists for granted. Hey ho, your mistake - we won’t be back, we will make sure we promote this terrible experience and perhaps, just perhaps, this review will make you take a close look at how you conduct yourselves in the future.

A menudo, tendrá que reservar con anticipación para comer en esta fantástica posada, pero al llegar temprano siempre hemos estado apretados en una mesa de tiempo limitado. La comida y la bebida siempre han sido de primera categoría y un gran final para un día caminando por las calles. La única queja (muy pequeña) es que el WiFi es lento.

Nuestra comida no era fresca, estaba muy seca. La única explicación es que nos sirvieron las sobras del domingo (el pub está cerrado los lunes), o el chef estaba teniendo una noche libre, así que dejaron la comida para calentar hoy. Además, el bistec estaba bien hecho, no es raro, como se solicitó y se devolvió. El reemplazo fue en tres piezas pequeñas (cortes) y aún se recocía. El personal del bar era cálido y amable, pero el gerente fue indiferente a nuestras observaciones con respecto a la comida. Lamentablemente, esto contrasta con las comidas que hemos tenido en el pasado, por lo que NO volveremos a visitar. Odio hacer críticas negativas y no encontrará ninguna otra de mi parte, pero esta fue una experiencia tan mala que me siento obligado a revisarla.

We had a great walk from Seatoller through the woods and then back to Stonethwaite for lunch. Food was delicious, beer excellent and staff super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. :o)

Escondido en la parte inferior de la carretera Stonethwaite, Langstrath es una posada tradicional de los lagos que parece haberse mantenido al día actualizando su menú y convirtiéndose en un restaurante de destino local, al tiempo que conserva su carácter pintoresco y amigable.

Estábamos parando en el YHA y queríamos un lugar para cenar. Después de mirar en línea, nos gustó el aspecto del menú aquí y reservamos para la noche.

He visitado Langstrathdale con amigos durante más de una década. Es bueno. No es complicado ni exigente, que es el nivel adecuado para los caminantes. El servicio siempre está bien a pesar de la pérdida de Vicky hace varios años. Se adaptan bien a las fiestas de 8 personas en el comedor o le dan la bienvenida en el lado del bar más acogedor para fiestas más pequeñas. Buena variedad de cervezas. Los palitos de cordero o de sebo son especialmente buenos. Siempre reserve un día antes, sospecho que pueden estar ocupados en las horas punta.

The Langstaff is a beautiful country inn in a breathe taking setting in the amazing Borrowdale valley. We arrived for a three night stay for my birthday and were met by very friendly staff who quickly booked us in and confirmed our table in the dining room for the evening. We were in room 3... An attic room. Our first impression was that the room was " cute" however this was short lived . Both myself and my husband( who is 6ft 3) I am 5 ft 3 spent all weekend banging our heads on the beams and slopping roofs in the bedroom and bathroom!!! As for the bathroom...you couldn't get into the bath unless you bent yourself in half ...you needed to be a contortionist, and you were unable to use the shower as a stand up shower it could only be used if you sat in the bath!!! It needs to be noted too that bedroom 3 is adjacent to the staff quarters,not a problem as the staff are all lovely people,however they work late and obviously need to have relaxation time after work...therein lies the problem....too-ing and fro-ing outside the room,opening and closing their door,moving around and muffled voices,all disturbing until past midnight!! If we had known the room was an attic room and small and located next to the staff living quarters we would have requested another room,we also feel that it is over priced for it's size compared to other rooms in the hotel. The food is excellent in the restaurent and we ate there twice and were not disappointed . All in all The Langstath is to be recommended and we would stay again just not in room 3 .

Took our family to show them the site so we could arrange a time we could book for next summer. We were stopped at the entrance and rudely told we couldn't go in. Even when we explained why and that we just wanted to go through the entrance and back and that we were members she was rude. What harm it would have done I don't know.

My friend and I were staying at the YHS Borrowdale. The Langstrath was recommended by another hosteler

Had a lovely Sunday lunch , great service and grub, traditional modern food, everyone had a well cooked and presented lunch they have some nice wines and good beer too, great location near some beautiful walks.

We visited as a large group and so had been asked to pre-order however this meant food was prepared and served in an expedient manner, it was well presented and delicious. Drinks are a little pricy but definitely worth a visit

I am reluctant to ever write a bad review since as a business owner myself I know how damaging it can be but in this case I really feel the need to share my experience since others may find themselves in this same situation.

I have been thinking about this review for a couple of weeks. The restaurant building is charming. The location is very good. The kitchen is top notch. The issue is the flies. Lots and lots of flies. Unbelievable numbers of flies. Like 40 or so around us at all times. Now the day we were there was warm. And, as the wait staff pointed out, we were in the country. That being said, we had been in the area for a week and never experienced anything like this when it comes to flies. Now for my suggestions. On this warm day the front door was wide open and every other window was sealed tight. Having lived for many years in the Deep South of the US, I know the solution to hot, stagnant air and bugs is to keep the air moving. Thus the ubiquitous ceiling fans throughout the South. I suggested to our waitress, who seemed to rule the room with an iron fist, that she should open the windows to allow a cross breeze. I received a withering look of disapproval but she did grudgingly open one back window about an inch. Needless to say, it was not effective. In the future, I encourage them to try the cross ventilation technique instead of bottling all the flies and heat in a closed off space. Perhaps the flies are not an issue on cooler days in which case I am sure it is a lovely experience. On warmer days, I would suggest avoiding the windows (if they are closed) as that is where the flies tend to concentrate. Once again, an otherwise very nice restaurant. I do encourage a more enlightened approach to ventilation.

We dropped in for a pint whilst walking the Cumbria Way, it was such a fantastic and welcoming place that we had dinner and stayed the night.

I have stayed here a number of time and never disappointed. Comfortable bedrooms, great bathrooms and substantial meals. Ideal location for accessing Borrowdale, with or without transport. Friendly staff.

Staff very welcoming and helpful with beers avaialble and explaining items on menu etc. We sat outside, food was a little slow arriving but not a problem as not in a hurry. The food when it arrived was delicious, will return

Having no phone signal down at the Y, I emailed at 4pm to see if I could book for 6pm.

Service left a bit to be desired here. We weren't allowed to park for the afternoon despite plenty of space. And then arrived at 6pm as arranged - no menu no waiting staff. Food was good. Lovely fresh bread entree with oil. Avocado and crayfish starter excellent. Rainbow trout main very good also. Came with a choice mash which was lovely. Kids enjoyed their meals as well. Shame about the service though.

Four of us had a lunch here and found staff to be very welcoming on entering.

Second visit to this lovely pub literally at the end of the road. We did not eat this time, but the food looked as delicious as I can remember from our first visit. It was busy as usual, with some people seemed to have left their brain somewhere else (or maybe the heat?) complaining about nonsense. It was rather entertaining...

Waiting staff are lovely. Management are plain rude, you would think they didn't want customers!! Would never return

Hundreds of flies were swarming and often landing on our food (great lamb shank, but dry steak and ale pie and hard-as-rock steak).

Initially told we could eat in the bar area or outside with our dogs when we went to order we were told we could not eat in the bar area and there were no tables and they could not serve us outside “because they have two new members of staff and it would all go pear shaped” we explained we were backpacking had nothing for a meal but they just said sorry the next pub is a mile away

We had heard about this place so diverted off the end of our hike to pass by. It’s a quaint little place and what especially appealed to me was the notice asking people to turn off their phones or put them to silent. A reminder that we can chat to each other instead. The decor is neat, tidy and well done and despite someone getting teased about how brave he was for ringing the bell for service, the lady behind the bar was absolutely lovely. Given its location I will definitely be looking into staying here too in the future.

Visited here on a busy friday night, and despite not getting to the pub till after 8.30 pm the staff were very friendly and we were able to order food. Every member of my group commented how good the food was - I had steak & ale pie with really nice home made chips and a good selection of veg. The pie was clearly freshly made with good chunks of meat and nice pastry.

I rang up at lunch time on the Bank Holiday Sunday and was told yes we could have a table, we wanted to eat early as both parties had long journeys. We arrived early and were the first in the dining room. It was a lovely room and at that time very quite.

What a shame, potentially a fantastic Outlet in a brilliant location. We initially had a couple of drinks on the Saturday evening over the recent bank holiday weekend, we sat outside with our drinks and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

Advised to dine here by local B&B; where we were staying on C2C. Some of the best advice we received. Lovely Spring evening, sat out in beer garden and met fellow walkers from USA, SA, Canada, Australia and Lancashire!!!

We had toiled up and down the valley with a cold wind nipping at our hands and feet, so were glad to be sitting down inside the inn with a log fire next to us. The soup was white white and celeriac, not a combination I have had before, and extremely tasty. It was accompanied by a less successful stack of crayfish on avocado. The crayfish were still on the edge of cold and the sauce hard to identify. My husband's lamb burger was very meaty and came on a brioche with huge onion rings and hand-cut chips.

We had dinner here on our Coast to

At the end of a three day, 46 mile hike we ended here for a drink and it was a lovely cosy traditional pub.

What a hidden treasure! Fabulous food, exceptional staff and a very comfortable room. Perfect location for bagging a few Wainwright’s!

My wife and I popped in to the Langstrath Inn for an evening meal on a Friday night. Not the easiest place to find on a pitch black narrow country lane but found it eventually. There is a car park across the road to the pub. We were greeted by friendly locals and made our way to the bar area, (there is a dedicated restaurant area but the small lounge bar with its wood burning fire gives the place it's cozy feel).

We booked well ahead for an evening meal - it's rightly very popular, and we had an excellent meal in the pub. It's quite a superior "gastro pub" menu, and that may not be to everyone's tastes or wallets - not really a place for a family on a budget looking for a meal, and it's not cheap - £3.25 for a side order of chips, and £6.95 for a chocolate dessert. But the food was imaginative and very good, and efficiently served by friendly staff.

I attended here with my husband and dog one Saturday Evening in August, we didnt book but they managed to fit us in in the bar after a short wait.

Ive Ben coming to Borrowdale for 17 years now and this is still the top place to eat and to stay. Only here for a meal this time (the hotel was fully booked - that’s the downside of lots of people loving it: it’s often full now), but the food’s great and well-presented, there’s a decent short wine list and several good ales on hand pumps, and Guy and Jaqui and the team are as warm and welcoming and efficient as always. Good atmosphere for an evening meal too, whether in the dining room (we were treated to one of the best tables this time, right by the far picture window) or in the very cosy bar near the open fire.

We went there on our coast to coast walk for a guaranteed quality meal as we have been there before. They didn't let us down with the meal which just had that taste of well prepared and well sourced food. It's not pretentious or posh but quality and good staff. It's not cheap either but with your second pint in and the fires blazing it doesn't seem to matter

We’ve called here twice for a light lunch whilst walking in Borrowdale. Each time the pub has been very quiet. Staff are very friendly and the food is good. Lovely clean toilets too!

We had our evening meal booked here whilst on our Coast to Coast trek it was a lovely country pub set in an idyllic location. On arrival street parking is limited I didn't see a dedicated car park but it was dark so may have missed it having been dropped off in a van. A warm welcome awaited us from the staff the bar area had a really good atmosphere and it was lovely and warm after a day on the hill! We went through to the restaurant area where our large table was reserved it was spacious and a lovely room. The menu had some good options on it with a separate specials menu as well, gluten free people are also catered for. I chose to have the goats cheese salad to start which was very good then the rump steak for main which I had medium, again cooked excellently. There was a decent selection of desserts too which also were very good quality, my wife said the coffee was also excellent as she had a decaf. Free wifi was available which was great as between courses it allowed me to sort my photos out from the day saving me time at the B&B later. Based on this experience I'd be happy to recommend a visit to this place and if I'm in the area again I'll be back.

We made our annual pilgrimage to beautiful Borrowdale Seatoller farm and the Lamgstrath country inn Once again beautiful meals my steak was excellent first night - cooked just how I requested it. It was delicious. chips a little disappointing though. Then the trout the second night was simply beautiful On sautéed potatoes. Complimentary delicious home made bread - yummy

This is a wee gem of a country Lakeland Inn which is set in just the most idyllic location at the foot of the Borrowdale valley in Stonethwaite. The staff are ever so friendly and always ready to have a wee chat with you. There is a great choice of five real ales and many whiskies ... depending on your tipple. But the best aspect is the fantastic choice of quality food. We stopped for one evening and it was so good that we decided to return the following evening. You receive homemade bread before your dinner. You can not fail to be impressed with everything the Langstrath has to offer.

We've been meaning to call here for some time but the other Sunday actually did as we were passing. The menu was a little limited and perhaps a bit more expensive than the norm, and quality a bit below the norm. We received a friendly welcome. The décor was rustic, but not exactly rustic chic!It was Ok, but certainly not worth a detour, but very handy for the nearby campsite should you be staying there.
