Outgate Inn is a gem of a find! Amazing customer service and food was homemade and super tasty. Have a great back area which is lovely in the summer too. Definitely one we will be visiting again such a freindly family feel to this pub. A lovley country pub and restaurant, where all are made to feel very welcome. Great value for money too.

Such a warm, friendly and relaxed pub. Excellent food and very reasonably priced for the quality. Cosy fire, sports on the TV, dart board. Will be back!

Lovely warm welcome. Relaxed atmosphere. Good choice on the menu, Food is very good. Located between Ambleside and Hawkshead. There is a car park but if you want to leave the car behind it is easily reached by bus, with bus stop right outside the door. I would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed my time at the Outgate inn. The staff were friendly and helpful and the open fire was a welcomed addition on a cold day. The festive menu was superb with lots of different dishes to choose from. It has a cosy, family friendly atmosphere and I will definitely return.

Fabulous! Had dinner there while on holiday. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and the biggest fish and chips I’ve had in my life! Nice crispy batter. Beer was good too. Will definitely go back.

The second time finishing our walks here this month at the Outgate Inn. Terrific dog friendly pub, with amazing, friendly staff. The food is lovely and tasty. My fave is the steak n ale pie with fresh veg n chunky chips!! There are other menu choices, which look amazing and most likely as tasty as my fave!! 😋

Stopped off on a rainy day after a walk around tarn hows. Found a quiet pub serving decent pub food with lager and ales to match. It was around £23 a head for our group, we ordered a drink and a meal each with few starters to share. Apparently the place has just been taken over by new owners but this didn’t seem to affect the quality of the service which was superb and friendly.

Super friendly new owners. A very Warm welcome to us all, even though all soaking wet with two very wet cold doggies, a nice warm fire was put on to dry us all out. The food was brilliant and huge portions! This is a “proper” pub with a lovely atmosphere.

Found this place whilst trying to find way back to Windermere..... Very quiet pub apparently only just reopened. The landlady and her little girl were very friendly and chatty and the beer was very nice.

Signs outside with open times but all locked up looking like closed for business. Stuff on tables seen through dirty windows,not looking like it's ready to open any time soon! No indication of closure on their website

Staying only a few metres away from the outgate inn only to find it closed for most of the week. If meals not available then surely a beer would have been. It is the main summer holiday.

Arrived with hopes of dinner. Already found nothing available Hawkshead. Although all tables reserved, got us in on 1 if we could be out by time of reservation. Had meals & drink. Would've had pudding but no one came back to take our order. Burgers & chips. Good standard pub fare. A few dogs in, odd table or bar 4 drinks only.

Ordered fish and chips, was OK, but not stand out good. No tomato ketchup either, but I did see one of the staff with 2 bottles in hand later, must have been out to buy some.

A friendly pub with bustling atmosphere. Comfortable, warm, and welcoming on a cold late-winter day. Staff very helpful. Decent menu, including Sunday roast with choice of meats.

Stopped to have a tea, latte and a slice of carrot cake. Great service and a huge slice of cake that we shared. Great value for money.

Disappointing Service was not great…. not the friendliest or the most accommodating. Ushered to a table we didn’t want to sit at. Waited 10 minutes for our order to be taken. At one point I thought we were being blatantly ignored. (A lot of people were being served who came in after us.) Waited another 10 minutes for drinks to come. I ordered a large crepe but was given a small. Came on the recommendation of my sister. But unfortunately wouldn’t bother again or recommend.

My wife and I stayed at the Cuckoo Brow Inn from Saturday to Monday last weekend. In the past , we have spent nights in hotels all over Europe, the Americas and Asia, and some of these stays were at 4 and 5 star accommodation. But the Cuckoo Brow really did shine out amonst many others. This accommodation is truly a real treasure. Primarily, the rooms are immaculately clean, well stocked with everything you could ever need in a bnb, cosy, warm, and of course an extremely comfortable bed. As mentioned previously, the bathroom was perfectly clean, and there was more than ample hot water for a lovely bubbly soak after a long walk. But all this is not what makes The Cuckoo Brow stand out from its competition... this is the staff. The hotel appears to be run and owned by a family, who are wonderfully friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We simply can not remember a hotel or airbnb that stands out more than the Cuckoo brow. We headed out on Saturday morning for a peruse around Grasmere, followed by a walk we had planned close by. On arrival to Grasmere village car park, I came to pay for the parking fee and noticed I had either forgotten or lost a considerable amount of cash I had in my pocket. Even before I could start a detailed search for my cash, my phone rang, and on answering, it was the receptionist from the Cuckoo brow to inform me that their daughter had found the cash on the floor of the car park and they would look after it until our return later in the day. Honesty of this level is, as we all know, unfortunately rare these days. I was very very impressed. Finally I would like to mention the food.... our breakfast was included and was a lovely varied menu with something for everyone 😋 and the Cumberland breakfast was just the best I have had for a long time. We also ate in the restaurant on Saturday evening and the food again was both delicious and at a lofty standard above the most others. In summary, if you are looking for accommodation or even just a drink and a great meal in the Lake District, then this is the place, I can't recommend it or praise it enough. We will most definitely be staying here again. Thank you to all the staff again. 10 out of 10. 😆

A lovely way to spend an afternoon. We knew a bit about Beatrix Potter (BP) before our visit and thought Hill Top was worth a visit, while staying in the area. So glad we did! We pre-booked our allotted visit time - late afternoon was nice and quiet. Included parking was close by and easy. We had a nice visit around the house and gardens. It was to see BP's home just as she left it. She definitely was ahead of her time, when it comes to conservation of the Lakes District. A lovely gift shop and cafe on site. Even if you don't know heaps about BP, this is worth a visit! Allow at least one hour.
