Redwell Inn in Lancaster

We stopped at the Red Well for an early lunch having heard good reports of the food. I chose Ham Egg and Fries. The Ham was delicious , Two fried eggs sunny side up and the nicest fries I have had for a long time. Nicely plated up and served with a smile. My Wife had quiche, with a delicious side salad and Granddaughter had a BLT with a side of fries. We will eat there again. !

Excellent lunchtime menu with huge portions of freshly made food. I had the smoked salmon and cream cheese and my partner had the prawn marie sandwich, both on luscious bread accompanied by salad and fries. I had a pint of local cask beer and it was in great condition. Also the service was impeccable.

Super friendly welcome, all staff we met were very welcoming and friendly. We stopped for3 nights , our room was modern, comfortable and clean . We ate breakfast which was substantial and delicious, the evening menu was varied with specials daily. Our last day we had afternoon tea it was outstanding. Thanks to everyone 🤗

This place offers one of the best afternoon teas that we have ever had. The sandwiches are a nice mixture of buns and bread with generous fillings. Plenty of lovely cakes and scones - really exceptional. There are just a couple of things I have to mark it down on. One of our party uses a wheelchair. We had asked in advance if the property is wheelchair accessible and we were told that yes it is. What didn't get mentioned was that the ramp leading from the car park to the patio for the entrance is actually in one of the parking spaces. So if a vehicle is in that parking space, you can't use the ramp. We struggled for some time to get the wheelchair on and off the patio because there was a vehicle in the space and not enough room to negotiate getting round it. Also, when we finally made it in to the restaurant none of the staff spoke to us or acknowledged us. No-one said hello or that our food and drink was on its' way. Nothing. It just seemed a little frosty and rude. It didn't feel at all welcoming. I would dearly loved to have given this review 5 stars but the lack of access and welcome weren't great, sadly.

Lovely rural spot. We had sandwiches for lunch which were very good. They are a bit pricey . They come with a choice of sides: fries, salad or soup. Service was really friendly and prompt. Would return.

The Staff are Significantly better than the food, The food I was served was bland and tasteless and something I'd expect to get in a frozen packet from farmfoods, Lovely Staff though.

My husband and I happened on the Redwell Inn around lunchtime today and decided to eat there as I had heard good things about the menu. We were greeted with a huge smile and a warm welcome by the waiting on team and quickly seated in a very pleasant and cool (much needed) room. There were two choices of menu specially for today; three courses for £14.99 and the usual lunchtime menu. My husband opted for the three courses- Caesar salad, followed by roast turkey sandwich followed by lemon posset (which was to die for). He thoroughly enjoyed it. I just had a main course Caesar salad which was utterly delicious. The chicken breast was warm and tender and the bacon, sticky, salty and tasty. One of the best Caesar salads I’ve had, so thank you Sam the chef. Just a word about Natalie, Jenny and Kara, the waitresses. They worked as a team, so we were waited on by all three of them. So friendly and kind, they certainly added to the whole experience. One slight nibble was the phone behind the bar which rang several times, it was slightly annoying, but the staff were all busy with people and no time to answer it. It was a lovely lunch and we will certainly be returning. Highly recommended.

Nice to see the pub open again, hubby wanted to give it a go. Food was really really nice, and such a varied choice. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our only complaint is that service was rather slow considering it wasn't very busy, 4 times we were "walked" past and had to ask for our plates to be cleared and a dessert menu. We will be back as the food was great.

I’d seen the breakfast deal on the facebook page & as we are local we decided to go. Wow - it was just lovely. We had the deal of 2 big breakfasts & orange juice. The food was just great quality & 1 of the best cooked breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Well worth the money. The place itself is really welcoming & we will be back for an evening meal for sure. Staff are extremely pleasant too 👍

Called in to this lovely cosy restaurant today with my mum. Fire was roaring and we were greeted very warmly. We shared ‘daily special’ hot beef & onion on sourdough roll and cheese & onion pie, both with chips & coleslaw. Both were really excellent. 👌 Loved it, can’t wait to return.

A friend recommended this Pub with Accommodation to us a couple of weeks ago when we were planning a trip up North. I am very glad they did the Bedrooms were spotless with very comfortable Bed too. Everything you needed for a good nights stay. The bonus on top of the excellent rooms were the homemade Burgers in the Bar Restaurant in the evening. Really a great experience and would definately go back again

We stayed for 3 nights as a group of ladies for my mums 80th birthday, the place is amazing, all bedrooms are lovely, the outdoor area is fantastic, we had lovely weather so spent a lot of time outside in the garden, unfortunately I left some earrings behind but after contacting Shauna she gladly posted them out to me! Would definitely return

Delicious food and excellent service, we had a family meal here last night from the new evening menu, very tasty, we had the meat sharing board all the meat was cooked to perfection, I would definitely recommend and will be definitely coming back. I great country pub.

Visited here with a friend for breakfast. Lovely cosy cafe with gorgeous log fire. I chose the vegan breakfast and it was one of the nicest breakfasts I have had, the avocado was superb. Lovely friendly service, not rushed and can’t wait to go back. Many thanks to all staff.

We have all been to group Christmas lunch events where the food is nothing more than a roast with pigs in blankets! The best we hope for is that the food is hot and plentiful. Do we ever expect the food at a Christmas lunch to be memorable? The Red Well Christmas lunch surpassed all of our expectations. The menu was interesting, varied and excellent value. Wonderful, superbly presented dishes were served promptly and, despite the number in our group, within a very short time frame. The food was simply amazing. The ambience of the room was lovely. Bright and airy yet warm with beautiful views through the extensive windows. And finally, the staff. What a fantastic group of people. Smiling, polite and keen to make the dining experience first rate. Customer service at its best. Thank you!

Moved to the area in Dec tried many times in January February food was excellent and reasonably priced.just been way for 3 mths and tried again on my return Food terrible and overpriced must have had a change of chef .waitress as usual excellent won’t be going back👎😩

Great food, nice lighting and music, really helpful staff. Bargain seniors menu too, £12 for 3 courses! Nice to see the place in its feet and doing well.

I'd never been here before so wasn't sure what to expect. Really good atmosphere , excellent food and friendly staff. What's not to love!

We met for lunch today (11th Feb.) and we’re delighted by our experience. We were warmly welcomed, had excellent, friendly service from the two waitresses, who could not have been more helpful. Seating is very comfortable, unlike in a number of venues we’ve visited, the table spacious and in an attractive dining space. Food was excellent: I had a bacon, Brie & chilli jam toastie, served with a tasty salad and coleslaw, with a cup of mushroom soup as a side. My wife’s toastie was beef, onion & blue cheese - some salad & soup as me. Her parents had fish& chips, mushy peas & home-made tartare sauce. Everything was beautifully presented, comprised generous portions, and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. Unsurprisingly, conversations turned to planning return visits with various friends and other members of the family. Additionally the menus offered plenty of choice for gluten-free and vegetarian dining. We’ll be back very soon. Congratulations to their team for providing lovely ambience and lovely food.

Really enjoyed a Sunday lunch.Reasonably priced menu, delicious food, good service by friendly staff.Definitely recommend.

Oh dear, this cafe has potential to be great, the decor is lovely as is the ambiance but the service is dire. After waiting in our seats for ages I eventually went to find someone to serve us. Where was the menu, the waitress couldn’t find one apart from an A4 sheet of the breakfast menu, not much good at lunchtime. Having been asked if we knew what we wanted we ordered a drink each, no idea how much it was going to cost or what other choices we may have fancied, drinks arrived surprisingly no sugar offered or on the tables. We drank our drinks, paid and left very disappointed.

We called in after our morning dog walk for a coffee, we ended up having coffee and toasties which were really good. The staff were very friendly and the cafe was super clean and very well presented. The food and coffee was just what we needed, and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive. Thank you, and great to see The Red Well back in business.

Had a fabulous weekend -stayed at the Red Well - arrived as strangers but left with many new friends. Excellent rooms with quality bathroom fixtures and a powerful shower. Very comfortable beds - slept so well. Attended a local 21st birthday party and lots of guests staying who had also been to the party so breakfast was a very sociable one with an excellent offer of continental breakfast at 8.30 or a bacon/cumberland sausage/ egg baps at 10.30 (probably not the normal breakfasts offered) but extremely accommodating and friendly staff. The pizzas looked amazing and we will be back to try one. Thankyou for a wonderful weekend and can't wait to return.

The pub is a short walk from where we were staying at Redwell Fisheries , the road was a bit scary , but grass verges helped ! We had the Greek pizza. I have to say it’s the best pizza we have had !! The IPA washed it down perfectly.

Great to see the Red Well open again. We called in the other day for a pint which was in good form. The manager told us that she's going to get beers from local breweries rather than rely on national brands, which is excellent news. We'll certainly be back, both here and at the owner's sister pub, The bay Horse in Arkholme, which is due to reopen very soon.

It's lovely to see the Red Well open again. The service is great with friendly and attentive staff. Pizzas are excellent. We look forward to returning soon.

Just passing ,thought we would give it a whirl,didn’t realise it had reopened,A pint of very acceptable beer Tiffin gold,and a half of morretti ..£6.40,Jesus I hadn’t realised I was paying the pub mortgage!Stupid price for this area.

The first time we've been in the Redwell since it's reopened and won't be the last. Only really doing pizzas etc since relaunch. Great staff and very friendly. Inside looks good. Hope the restaurant opens as well.

Attended the venue with a friend on Saturday 19th September 2020, welcomed to the restaurant shown to table quickly, ordered food prompt arrival time. Food arrived was very disappointed both ordered the parmo bun from the lunch menu it was freezing cold the bechemal sauce took everything on the plate ruined the meal for us both, asked if all was ok when paying had a rude response from the staff member (didn’t get his name) won’t be attending in a hurry

Staying on South Lakes Holiday village on what was probably the worst weather we’ve ever had, we fancied a nice lunch out. Problem was we had 3 kids and 2 dogs!! So looked online to find dog friendly places to eat that offered good food! The Red Well ticked all the boxes and didn’t disappointFrom the minute we arrived (all 8 of us) we were made to feel very welcome by all staff. The food was fabulous. Various dishes ordered to individual preferences and all delivered perfectly. Spent a good couple of hours enjoying the warmth and hospitality. They even brought biscuits for our two dogs! Can’t thank Red Well enough. Visited Saturday 22nd Feb.

Went today with my 3 year old and my granny. Lovely service from the lady behind the bar but poor food. For food alone I would give 1-2 stars. My granny had the steak pie which was ok. My daughter had the chicken nuggets which she wouldn’t eat, they were cheap horrible breaded processed nuggets. I had the sirloin steak chips and veg. The steak was bland and tasteless & tasted like it had been frozen, my chips tasted old and the veg was over cooked mushy and fully of water. A very disappointing visit and wouldn’t return for food.

Our club Christmas meal. The staff were friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for us. The menu was varied and the food superb. I personally loved the beer. Bowland Hen Harrier is a fine pint. We were accommodated excellently all night. This is a beautiful country pub with a fine restaurant facility. A beautiful part of the country needs good pubs and good food and the Redwell certainly provides both.

Passed this pub/restaurant over the years, but this time we stopped, glad we did. Very warm & friendly greeting by the man behind the bar, 4pm Saturday afternoon. Drinks ordered table by the fire, perfect, then we saw the bar snacks chalk board... No! we have dinner prepared at the cottage we were staying, Oh go on then, 9 Indian nibbles & dips £3.50, pulled pork chips & cheese £4.50, chilli nachos £5.00 I think. All served hot & taste good. Only comment why serve tartar sauce with samosas? Odd! We didn't go in the restaurant only to look, & it looks really smart. Maybe next time.

Been going to The Redwell for a while and always good. Tony is very helpful as are the other staff. The bar area is dog friendly so good when your out walking.

Called in for Monday Lunch Food was very good, The bar area seemed very welcoming i suspect on a cold day the bar would be very Cosy and warm.Very old building with lots of Character We will be calling here again. we were told to book if calling at weekend

We had a one night stay on our way through the area and out initial greeting was warm and hospitable. We were warned that the hotel was hosting a car rally early the next morning but that we were in a room across from the front of the hotel and away from the car noise. The room was beautiful and modern with all the amenities you need. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant, and tried to get a beer in the bar afterwards, but it was just too busy. Think i waited for 10 minutes without getting close to the bar (rally crowd) so gave up. The room was quiet and we heard nothing of the rally, waking to find them all gone. Highly recommended - great people, great room and good food.

Just popped in for a quick Sunday dinner. Food lovely staff very welcoming. Locals very chatty. Nice place with a great beer garden if weather was nice

Went two or three years ago and had a decent meal so thought we'd try it again,sadly disappointed !Alarm bells should have been ringing when dining room was completely empty at Sunday teatime.Just basic pub grub which wasn't as the menu or ordered,only saving grace was that the waitress was friendly,polite & apologetic for the mistakes.Not be returning in the foreseeable future !

If you are in the area of Lancaster and perhaps headed to the Lake District then this is an ideal stop.Really clean and well appointed rooms.Very good and friendly staff.We were the only folks staying on a Sunday night but they brought in a cook to give us breakfast before we set off on our journey.Recommend.

Early treat for Fathers Day. First visit here and my last. Setting is amazing, looks inviting from outside and restaurant is nice. Space between tables and privacy for chatting. Waitress seemed inexperienced and dropped things and brought me an empty bottle when I asked for mayo. The halloumi starters were very nice, decent serving for under £5. The steak was ok, but for £5 extra to make it surf n turf and you get 5 prawns seemed a poor show and disappointment. The other meals were nice, but nothing special. Overall it was disappointing based on expectations from the outside appearance. I can imagine it has its own following, but I won’t be going back.

Never been here before but is located not far off the M6 at Arckholme on the Kirkby Lonsdale Road and is in fab countryside.

Recently stayed for a night with friends, could not fault anything. Rooms were immaculate and the food was really good. We had various evening meals which were all good, the cherry bakewell is to die for. Breakfast was also delicious, plentiful and good value. All the staff were great, very friendly. Highly recommended, thank you/

On the way back from a sunny day at Ingleton, stopped here for early tea with two small kids (3 and 2).

one night stay, very friendly welcome by all staff. Kitchen stayed open late due to my late arrival and room was newly renovated. Breakfast was spot on and great poached eggs.

Stopped overnight on business, the welcome was warm and the rooms well designed with a good quality comfy bed. The food was great, it was pie week and had an excellent steak and ale pie. Will use again next time I am in the area

We often go here for lunch but was very disappointed today. The steak and ale pie is usually lovely but unfortunately today either they have changed their chef or suppliers.

Nicely refurbished country pub surrounded by lovely countryside. My partner and I both went for the steak and ale pie. The meat was tender and the gravy was delicious with a nice hit of ale. The pie was served with good hand cut chips. Service was attentive and quick.

Having cycled past loads of times my wife and I decided to give it a try as a bit of a midweek treat.

A great pub and restaurant. They let us bring the dog into the bar and eat from the main menu, wide range of delicious food and staff could not be faulted. We ate in here twice as we were staying within walking distance and both times it was lovely.

Excellent pub. Spotless, warm, friendly rustic pub. The rooms ,beds bathrooms are superb. Quiet peaceful location yet near the lakes, Kirby Lonsdale and carnforth. Food excellent . We will be back .

Called in for a drink around Saturday tea time ; apparently it has been refurbished and looks quite trendy with a log burner fire for the coming winter months, but the drinks choice wasn't for us and as is a captive audience we found it to be expensive but were advised it is average for this area ( we are not local)

The evening meal and breakfast were exactly as requested with the addition of smiling, friendly, service.

4 of us,wife had two starters instead of a main as she's not a big eater.My sister and I got the rib eye ,medium for me medium rare for my sister, mine was over and made me wish I'd got the m..rare,mine wasn't bad enough to complain about.Brother in law got the steak and ale pie.Waited quite a while for our meals.Cost was average for a pub meal

Having stayed in this area many times this was our first time at the Red Well . We had a comfortable double en suite room at the back of the Inn . Light to the room was via two skylights which are sufficient but if you are desperate for “rooms with a view” then try booking the front facing rooms & you will not be disappointed. Our room was very comfortable with quality towels & toiletries in the en suite . A floor standing fan to keep you cool on warm nights was a nice touch . We had dinner both nights in the restaurant which was excellent. Sunday lamb dinner was just fantastic. The bar has a good choice of beers on pump which after tasting many can honestly say were very good . Breakfast is also excellent with a good choice . We went for full English on both days which was excellent ( don’t miss that one ) and will keep you going for what ever day you have planned. The owners & staff are extremely friendly & efficient which makes your stay very relaxed . The location of the Red Well couldn’t be better with easy access to the lakes & Lancaster . We highly recommend the Red Well as a great place to stay & after what ever you have been up to during your day simply park your car have a great meal & a relaxing drink or two . We will certainly be staying here on our next visit 5* . Enjoy.

No wonder the place was empty when i visited for lunch with my wife today.

To be fair this was a flying visit and I didn't not spend long here, so I'll only comment on the one thing I feel qualified to speak about, the beer.

Nice food good portions and not expensive, nice interior helpful staff, it’s about 3-4miles drive from Pine Lakes resort centre and a little bit out in the sticks.

Great little pub just south of the Lake District. Food is good and plentiful. Service is excellent and in a great location.

Visited the Red Well with friends on a bit of a flying visit on our way back from Scotland. Lovely building, super gardens the staff are friendly and the food is great just what one needs after a tiring journey down the M6. If you are in the Carnforth area the pub is a must.

My husband and I had 2 evening meals here recently with our daughter. The food was good. I particularly recommend the steaks. The portions are huge! The only criticism I would give is that there is no atmosphere at all. It was very quiet for a weekend evening and as a result it felt a bit awkward. However, you cannot say anything bad about the food. More people should eat here and it would be great.

We stayed with some friends for 2 nights recently. The bedrooms were very nice, bed was comfy and bathroom was super, however, the soaps/shampoos etc were not up to scratch for the price paid for the room. There was no windows in the bedrooms at the back of the hotel, only skylight, which let little air in.

We knew this pub well when under the previous management but had never stayed. Over the May Bank Holiday weekend we booked a super-king room directly with the Red Well at £105 B&B.; On Saturday night we dined in the restaurant and really enjoyed starters of deep fried brie and soup with mains of fillet steak and liver - all reasonably priced. My steak originally came with the wrong sides but this was very quickly rectified.

We stayed overnight at The Red Well Inn 28th April 2018. We booked a standard room which was very spacious and had a king size bed. The room was very modern and comfortable. The en-suite with large powerful shower was very nice. We had a 3 course meal on the night we arrived and could not fault any part of it - the restaurant staff were attentive and pleasant. Our room price of £85 included breakfast which was delicious and set us up for a busy day out. Tea/Coffee and fresh juice were already on the table. We started with a choice of cereal, then our cooked chosen meal was bought out to us, followed by toast with a selection of butter and jam. The location is ideal for getting out and about to some beautiful walking trails etc.

It was great when I asked if they did gluten free to be told yes no bother just ask, so we had a wonderful meal in fact so good we went back again and that meal to was great, what was even better was I could get a gluten free pud as well, not just an offer of fresh fruit or ice cream, it was truly great. Lovely people each time we went so friendly and the dogs of other customers were just great at the ball fetching!. We will be back hopefully not as long as it took my husband, he was on Holiday at the caravan park behind the hotel over sixty years ago! Thanks for the pleasure.

We visited the Red Well on Easter Sunday in a large party. The welcome and service were good however the food let it all down. We were all looking forward to a good homemade Roast dinner but the meat was just warmed in the gravy not fresh cooked and carved, frozen Yorkshire puddings not homemade, frozen roasts and I am not convinced the mash was fresh either. Everyone left disappointed as we were all looking forward to a good home cooked roast dinner. Unfortunately won’t rush back now

Have just had a lovely Sunday roast today. There were seven in our party and all meals were delicious. Excellent service throughout the afternoon despite the restaurant having a very large party in. Great value for money, look forward to returning.

We went into The Red Well Inn today with a group of 6 and the staff were very welcoming and the food was amazing! Great value for money!!

We recently visited the pub during a serious flooding in the Lune Valley. We found ourselves trapped by high water, at night, unable to travel the road in either direction. There were no more rooms available for the night at the pub, so we asked if we might stay inside until the flooding cleared. We were shocked then when owner refuse because "he was not licensed". We expected some minimal level of sympathy during a natural disaster, but did not find it here. We were lucky that some local residents, also disgusted by his behaviour, put us up in their lounge.

We booked a table for Sunday dinner whilst staying down the road at the Red Well Fisheries. My wife is Gluten Free and it has to be said the choice was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys. The local beers were good...

There was a family of 4 an all enjoyed our meals, honest pub food served with approopiate timimgs and attentive staff

I had to send my meal back (belly of pork) as it was literally inedible. There was just a large lump of fat on the plate with a tiny sliver of meat. Chef came and apologised saying he'd given me 2 portions as there wasn't...

Been a few times and always lovely food....staff very friendly and helpful.....very relaxing place ....would highly recommend.....

Mi compañero y yo tuvimos una excelente cena de Pat en la Red bien Inn Restaurant que ofrece comida excelente en un comedor muy acogedor con vistas al campo. Tuve el cóctel de gambas y salmón ahumado entrante que fue bien presentado en un plato...

No tengo ninguna queja sobre la comida, pero el servicio era muy lento. No había nadie en el lugar, pero esperamos más de media hora para el plato principal.

Estoy en la incredulidad! Escogimos este lugar del supermercado Waitrose Good Food Guide 2017 para comer. Proporciona una guía en la mayoría de las circunstancias, pero no en esta ocasión. Desde la calidad de la comida, el servicio, el ambiente y la experiencia general, he...

Paramos aquí por casualidad a por algo de comer. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por el personal del bar y nada era demasiado problema. La comida era buena y a un precio razonable. Galletas para nuestro perro que era bienvenido en la zona del bar....

Been here a few times using it as a pub with a nice beer garden. We have also eaten here a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Pinot grigio is inexpensive and very nice as it is our favorite white wine.

Visited on a miserable Saturday afternoon. The pub is located in a very rural location and would no doubt offer some fantastic views if it wasn't dull & overcast. The menu is very much pub classics with the odd offering of culinary finesse. I opted for a steak and ale pie. It was hearty & ticked all the right boxes although I could have polished off a few more chips. The service was pleasant and attentive throughout. Pricewise, was pretty much par for the course. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

We went here for my son's 21st birthday celebration and were not disappointed. Having previously had a lovely meal as a couple we had no doubts that the food would be as good with a large group of fifteen. Made to feel welcome from the start by friendly and attentive staff. Very reasonably priced, delicious food and large portions which particularly suited hungry teenagers! Would definitely recommend for any occasion as well as for couples to enjoy a romantic meal! Great value for money in very pleasant surroundings. Looking forward to our next visit...!

We stayed at this lovely place recently whilst attending a race meeting at Cartmel. We looked for somewhere within comfortable driving distance from the racecourse and The Red Well was perfect for us.We really enjoyed our time here. The owners Paul and Lorraine made us very welcome. Our first night we sat outside with an excellent bottle of cold Chardonnay - the weather was really warm so it was rude not to! We made a new friend, Jake the Border Collie who introduced us to his toy to throw for him.We then went for dinner which was really delicious. None of your fine dining miniscule portions here. Didn't have room for desert the first night, but I was determined to have tiramisu the following evening which was just perfect. In fact better than the one I had in Italy last year!And last but not least the rooms. Lovely and clean, comfy bed, brilliant shower - in fact everything you need including tea/coffee making facilities.So thank you very much for your hospitality and we'll definitely see you again sometime. We'll recommended.

Wanted a stop over while travelling from the Scottish Highlands to Marlboroughfor a family occasion. Found and booked the Red Well and were not disappointed.We were warmly welcomed and stayed in a very comfortable room with a brilliantshower. Dinner and breakfast were first class. Highly recommended and wouldcertainly stay again.

We visited the restaurant last Saturday evening. Initially they seemed confused we were there despite the fact that we had booked however that was swiftly sorted and we were seated at a nice table in the restaurant. On a positive note the girls who served us were very polite and did a fantastic job under difficult circumstances. Now onto the food. The mushrooms we had tasted ok but the sauce was very watery, it was ok but not the best start. Four out of five of our main courses arrived in a timely manner but on bringing the last to the table the waitress explained the kitchen had made a mistake and my Mums meal was delayed. By the time it arrived we had nearly finished and to top it off it didn't look good. It was pork belly and was topped with what we assume was meant to be crackling but resembled a piece of old leather. My meal was Yorkshire pudding with trio of sausages and mash. It was tasteless, the mash was lumpy with no gravy. I persevered through 2/3 of it but gave up in the end. I noticed the chap at the next table did the same. On a positive note my cousins lamb cutlets were great apparently. All other meals were just ok and nothing to shout about. We did mention this to the waitresses who apologised to us and we praised them on their service. We actually had a great night as we were celebrating a family Birthday and we see each other rarely, it would just have been nice if the meal had topped it off

My family and I were looking for a place that would be good for us all to eat. We stumbled across The Red Well and we not only had great service but a excellent range of food. My mother and brother had fantastic rib eye steaks and they personalised it just the way my brother likes it. I had a lasagne, which was layered perfectly and was delightful. We also had Pâté and BBQ Ribs for a starter which was presented beautifully. We had a excellent waiter who checked back on us several times and put up with our nonsense. After dessert and coffees we concluded a perfect night. Excellent place to eat if looking for a family night out filled with happiness.

Came with my whole family for mother's day. Staff fantastic and attentive, food lovely and great value! Nothing is too much trouble! Some members of the party had the roast beef and commented it was the nicest beef, very tender and could eat it all. Would definitely go again!

Family of 5 meal Sunday (Mothers Day) afternoon. Pub and restaurant were very quiet when we arrived, few more diners by the time we left but by no means busy. Staff were attentive and pleasant and the place is generally quite nice. If we were fault finding, food on the floor under and adjacent table is a bit of a faux par, watching someone randomly sharpening a carving knife in the restaurant was a little bizarre, especially as he wasn't even in chefs whites ! Being given a napkin which was already marked is not the best but these are minor issues. The food is good, but I would not say great. It was served hot and well presented, reasonable portions at what in the main were reasonable prices at £130 for a family of 5 having 2 courses with drinks is fair value I think.

We had a 1 night stay at Capernwray house and on there recommendation we decided to try out the Red Well Inn. We were not disappointed. The staff were extremely friendly, the young girl on the bar was lovely and the older lady was great, really down to earth and very helpful with recommendations. The dining room is modern and cosy. The food was lovely too. Definitely would call in again if I lived nearer.

Unlike the previous review, 8 of us really enjoyed Sunday lunch on 29th January. Have they reviewed the right place? The beef was beautiful and tender and came with carrots, broccoli and cauliflower in a side dish. Yorkshire pudding, roast potato and mashed potatoes. Everything was freshly prepared. We also had tiramisu that had been made by the restaurant - delicious. We had 3 courses for £20 and all food was freshly prepared. Great price point for quality.

My mum, daughter and I thought we would treat ourselves to lunch. A rare treat. It took over an hour for our first course to arrive. The presentation was dreadful, the beef tough, chips burnt and 'vegetables' turned out to be about a desert spoon of peas. Tiramisu was a small dish of foamy cream. No layers of cake or biscuit. Just cream. I felt sorry for the waitresses who were trying to be cheerful, but the food and kitchen ruined a special treat. Left feeling very sad.

We had heard that the Red Well was under new management and went to try it out one Sunday evening. We received a warm welcome, the service was very good, we really enjoyed the fod and the prices were very reasonable. My wife said her well-done steak was the best ever.The only downsides were a very limited wine list, which we were told would shortly be extended and only one other table occupied. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our visit and will return.

This is exactly the kind of stay id hoped it would be and more! We dived at the local quarry before arriving at the hotel inwhich we were welcomed with open arms and sat with the locals in front of the fire. The pub was quaint with a modern twist, the scenery was beautiful, surrounding by country side. We got so settled by the fire, drinking with the locals that we didn't actually visit our room until late evening, which was stunning, spacious, clean and qwerky with its apex ceiling and velux window. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the breakfast delicious- poached eggs were cooked to perfection.Well worth the £95 charge per room, Can't wait to return and next time I'll ensure we eat dinner!

Enjoyed our dinner served by cheerful staff and food cooked by the owner. Recently reopened it appears as though it will be a success story. Beautiful rooms overlooking spectacular scenery.

New owners are definitely making their mark!! Wholesome home cooked food (if you leave hungry then you have worms lol) , friendly professional staff and the room was PERFECT! won't hesitate to book again!!!

2 Ladies looked after us throughout our stay. It was wonderful. They couldn't have done more for us. Sorted a taxi and made sure we had everything we needed.

Food edible but not value for money. A long time waiting and the lamb was not pink as promised but overcooked and tough.Sorry guys but an honest review.

When we drove past the pub we noticed a sign stating that it smoked its own products. Thought I'm stopping on the way back. Well walked in and the place was empty however the lady behind the bar was more concerned with her phone so had to wait. Then noticed a chalk board with some nibbles advertised, we enquired and was told that they were no longer available, disappointed. We then got our drinks, ok, then enquired about the smoked products and we were directed to a could with a very limited stock, we didn't buy. We drank up and left feeling quite disappointed.

When I arrived on the Monday evening the hotel told me that the restaurant was closed on Monday - they claimed that I had been advised of this in advance, but that was the first I had heard of it. It certainly didn't show up on the booking - ought they perhaps have mentioned it when they accepted the booking...?. The hotel was in the country so I had to travel for about 20 minutes by car to eat out that evening. Not only was the restaurant closed but the whole place was closed, locked up and in darkness from about 6.30 p.m., so that when I returned, I could only access my room via a dark slippery fire escape, with a door key which took much persuasion to work! The hotel agreed as a favour to provide breakfast at 7.30 a.m., but it took quite long time to get it on the table. I ate there on Tuesday evening - not impressive, and possibly an indication of why I and a colleague were the only diners. By the way, the description in the booking of my room being a 'suite with seating area' was inflated to say the least - it was pleasant enough but was just a medium size room with a little chair in the corner.

Just intended to stay the one night but the food was so good, we stayed for two! The accommodation is fine although some of the rooms are a wee bit small if you were staying for week. Dinner is only served up to 8:00 pm so make sure you are there in plenty of time, Great choice of dishes and the fish dishes were all so well cooked from smoked mussels to haddock in batter - all excellent. The chef/owner Rob has his own smokehouse and smokes his own fish - so good! Breakfast is pretty good as well! The manage Ashley was charming and most helpful as was housekeeper,Julie. We loved it and would not hesitate to reurn.

The Red Well Country Inn Cornford, Kirkby Lonsdale Road, Carnforth LA6 1BQA Wonderful Country Hotel near Lake DistrictOur family stayed in this beautiful Country Inn for two nights for our visit to Lake Districts Though we booked the rooms for one night only, we extended our stay by another night and visited entire Lake District from the hotel. Located in a country setting in a lonely place, the rooms are very modern, brilliantly furnished, clean, tidy and well presented with new decorations. The rooms have names and not numbers. Prominent persons figure in the room names; and a narration about the figure is kept in the room for readers to read. Our stay was very comfortable, breakfast nicely cooked and affectionately served. Apparently a family run business, the staff cannot be more welcoming. and all- smiling. But one has to reach the place in day time, or make prior arrangement to reach late as the hotel has no regular Front Desk service at night. We had phoned the hotel about our late arrival and one lady was waiting for us, welcomed us with warmth and smile, showed our rooms and said good night. The lounge and the Bar – cum restaurant was wonderful, but service closes at 9 pm. So one has to carry food for dinner if he or she reaches the hotel late.

We stayed for one night on our way up to Scotland . The place was very quiet when we arrived but we were greeted by a very lovely lady who I think was the owner. She showed us to our room which was super modern , newly decorated and very clean. The bed was large and comfy. We ate in the restaurant in the evening. We had excellent mussels, sea bass and bread and butter pudding. The food was hot, nicely presented and very tasted. The whole place has a very homely feel and I think it's probably what an Inn would have been like historically. By which I mean family run and homely. That is not a criticism as we throughly enjoyed ourselves. The few staff that we saw were very welcoming , hard working and couldn't do enough for us. The food and drink prices were very reasonable too. We will be back on our next trip up north.

I enjoyed my food and there was no faults with the staff or atmosphere. My only flaw was that it wasn't what you would call child friendly.
