The Country Hut in South Lakeland

We only ended up here because the 2 pubs up the road were closing(10pm) There was 7 of us all 70 somethings so hardly rowdy and would have spent a fair bit on drinks. They did us a huge favour, it was alovely friendly place geared up for families with games on the tables,drinks were good and reasonable for the area. We do get fed up with the lakes complaining about the lack of tourists but they make little effort to encourage custom with the restricted opening and reluctance to take largish reservations for meals So we were extremely pleased to find this little gem

A lovely place to stop & people watch 😆 Having walked past this place so many times we thought it was a coffee shop. A great find. Nice cocktails too. Really friendly owner. Will definitely be back.

Absolute Gem of a place!! Walked past many of times with the kids, but a child free break thought we’d pop in and give the cocktails a try! WOW unbelievable … will make sure we visit everytime with or without the kids even just for one! Cosy bar, very clean and nice outside seating area also! Warm welcoming from Nancy and staff, great atmosphere cannot recommend this little Gem enough! Cannot wait to visit again, hopefully very soon!

This is a great cocktail bar. The owner is lovely, so friendly and welcoming. My husband and I were enjoying a few days away in Bowness. We ended up at The Country Hut about 3 times. We sat outside and inside, decor is lovely. The owner recommended a few places to eat which were also fantastic. Will definitely go back again on our next visit.

Lovely little bar in the heart of Bowness Owner (Nancy) went above and beyond To look after us and other customers Amazing cocktails Fabulous drinks Lovely decor Extremely clean Can’t wait to return

What a gem. What a fantastic bar, best Happy hour, the cocktails are fantastic. The owner Nancy is brilliant, always welcoming and makes you feel at home. Definitely recommend a few visits whilst on holiday or if your a local.

This place is a hidden gem. Friendly and informative staff, great beer, the cleanest toilets in the area, and everything you need for a lovely relax and unwind. Patio heaters if you want to sit out, and a relaxed atmosphere inside. We popped in for one, and stayed for a few. Thank you.

Great service Great cocktail Highly recommend. The bubblebath cocktail was fantasic. 2 for £15 can't go wrong really and happy hour all week

Absolute brilliant place to go, really enjoyed the beers and offers they had on. 5 bottles in bownes for £20!! Perfect for our gang and the cocktails were great!! Nice little gem for bowness. Nancy and the staff absolutely brilliant. Will be back on our next visit for sure.. 10/10 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Some people from Blackpool have taken this over and are making it a fun place to visit. Great beers and amazing cocktails. Happy hour 3 to 7 I think but only 15 for 2 cocktails. Crazy prices and great fun First stop for a night out in Bowness

Recommended for Cocktails, so we just had to visit. Although limited opening days we were told to get a “ Bubble Bath “ with a little rubber duck on top 🐥

I think this bar has recently been taken over by a new owner, a lovely bubbly lady who will immediately make you feel welcome. It has covered outdoor seating for those lakeland showers and a perfect spot to relax and watch the world go by. A lovely bar, we spent many happy hours here, call in and try it

Spotted this cute little cafe in the corner after noticing the sangria sign so we decided to pop in. It’s a lovely little place and the outside is gorgeous especially in the sun. The jug of sangria was really really good. Will definitely be back again.

Fantastic service! Friendly and very accommodating, called in here every night of our stay, definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area xxx

Ended up popping in on my own for a glass of wine after having to abandon other plans. The place was lovely, the wine was tasty and the friendly lady behind the bar was great and even lent me her book to read. Thank you.

Nipped in here to see what the 2-4-1 cocktail menu was like…and I have to say that I was shocked at how bad the drinks menu was. Not a true cocktail bar, ‘novelty alcoholic drinks’ is more fitting. I’m all for putting unique twist on cocktails, however this was more serving sugary, cheap looking, luminous beverages. No classics on the menu - I was expecting to order a margarita, mojito, old fashioned, espresso martini etc but none of those in sight. We opted for the aperol spritz as that was the one with the least ‘fuss’. This tiny venue has so much potential to be a hidden gem cocktail hotspot but as it is sadly there’s no atmosphere on an evening and better cocktails can be found elsewhere, however this may be a nice cafe in the day time from the looks of it.

Really creative drinks, well priced and a great location in Windermere. Would definitely recommend for a couple visit

Wonderful place, really creative drinks and brilliant service. And at a much better price than the Fizzy Tarte round the corner (the most expensive drink here is about the same price as their cheapest cocktail) and much more creative. They also have card games and blankets which is lovely for a cooler evening out.

Great little place staff very friendly drinks great service r was first class definitely would recommend this little gem

Tamara the star! What a great little cocktail bar, the drinks were fantastic service brilliant but the care from Tamara who was on shift made it! We hope your wishes come true to! And we hope yours do! What a great place!

Fab cocktails, super yummy and very creatively served. Not just your average 👌 All drinks very reasonably priced, lovely, friendly staff who are personable and attentive. Even made our son a mocktail version of the popcorn cocktail. Heaters outside were a welcomed bonus. Have already returned again 😁

Call in this place everytime we are in the area. Nice staff and great drinks, lovely inside and outside seating.

Birthday cocktail or three. Spent a very pleasant afternoon enjoy the most delicious cocktails, each one so yummy, accompanied by a banging soundtrack. Thanks guys it was most enjoyable xxx

I always try and get to the Country Hut whilst I’m in the lakes. Visited again in August and beer and the service is still first class. Really friendly service. Definitely recommend this place.

Best bar that we visited during our stay in Bowness came back multiple times! Enjoyed the Sangira and cocktails 🥂

This place should have 10 stars not 5 Amazing, and staff are brilliant. Words cannot express how great this place is. Drinks great and cakes lovely.

We'd just been wandering around Bowness, looking for somewhere friendly - and we found it. Two adults and one granddaughter were treated to latte, ale, apple juice and cakes. I'm told the cakes were 'yummy' by both the missus and little Arya, so they must...

This place is a hidden gem. Amazing cocktails and drinks. Owner is amazing and the staff are wonderful too, always asking how your day has been. If you in bowness on winderemere I would definitely recommend you trying this place .

Popped in for a drink as the reviews are good. Good value pitcher of 'sangria', however it was the worst sangria we've ever had. Literally just lemonade with a dash of red wine and a few bits of apple. Not impressed.

Lovely little find. Stopped here for a coffee, great selection and good service. Tucked just off the main hustle and bustle, but would definitely go back and recommend to others

On our final evening in Bowness, we went for a cocktail at this small but pleasant bar (thank you TA). Tamara welcomed us in and gave us the drinks menu. We were originally sitting inside but when a table outside came free, we moved there...

Visited this bar in August 2020 and loved it. Tried it again in May 2021 and it was just as good. Everything is just as it should be. Good service, good beer and cocktails. Felt extremely welcome and that hosts wanted us there. Seems strange...

We have been visiting this bar for about 4 years and the family staff have been lovely. They even remembered us after waiting for news of the birth of a grandson on their terrace. One of the best cocktail bars in Bowness. We love coming...

Cosy and modern little bar with a big selection of drinks. Best Pornstar Martini I've ever had and rally friendly staff.

Popped in for a drink - good service, nice guys. Young lad really attentive, makes a nice change. Definitely recommended.

We had a wonderful cream tea here, definitely recommend the scones and great coffee. It only does drinks (mostly alcoholic) and cakes but the lady running the place was very friendly and provided excellent service.

The lady bar tender here was so very helpful, we've been all over town looking for nonalcoholic beer and she was the first not to poke fun at my boyfriend and was genuinely helpful :D xxx

Nice little bar, always manage to get a seat. Great for cocktails, good selection of drinks and table service. Always visit when in the area.

Lovely place. Our new favourite when we visit Bowness now. The lovely woman behind the bar is very nice and very attentive. Cocktails are fab.

Very attentive staff! Great environment from the off set, it was very busy as it was a Saturday night but the atmosphere was incredible. Staff couldn’t do enough for you . The place to go in Windermere!! Cheap drinks and great music! Couldn’t recommend enough!

I visited The County Hut for drinks when staying in Windermere with a group of friends. We sat outside under the patio heaters. The staff were lovely and very sociable. Drink options were good and prices were reasonable. There was a lot to watch whilst sat outside - good location and view. The place was very comfortable and relaxing. The toilets were very clean.

Called in for a few drinks on Saturday night. The bar has a lovely relaxed friendly atmosphere. The you lady serving behind the bar was really friendly and even stayed late so we could finish our drinks. Would recommend a cost if you’re in the area.

Dropped in here while exploring the area. Had mulled wine and hot minted chocolate drinks that were to die for. A great break from checking out the local shops. Definitely a hidden gem

This is a lovely little bar right in the heart of Bowness. We popped in twice - once for a coffee after shopping and then back in the evening for cocktails and beers. It's a small, intimate bar that seats about 25 people. There is music, but thankfully it's not too loud so you can have a conversation. Some great cocktails (many of which I'd never heard of). Friendly staff and we didn't feel rushed at all. We sat outside so we could watch the world go by. Although there are heaters outside, as it was cold the staff gave us blankets to keep warm. Highly recommended.

We came for the cocktails, stuck around for another less expensive drink. Some good tunes, really nice service, and generous cocktails. This place is pleasingly simple; just a bar, comfy seats, and a toilet. What the hell else do you need?

Used to be thriving but unfortunately the new owners have taken away the energy of the place .The one staff member is not interested in customers apart from the transaction after that back to looking at her phone or laptop. Poor customer service and you can’t plan to go there as it’s closed most days. Shame as had many a great time before.

We'd originally planned to visit the Easy Breeze but despite stating online that it's open 11am to midnight, they were putting the tables out when we arrived and were opening for the football later!!My friends had previously visited the Country Hut and enjoyed it. It was quiet, early evening, but the young lady serving was friendly and made some decent cocktails. The Rum Punch did pack a punch, you could really taste the alcohol, not always the case.I'd like to revisit when it's buzzing.

Siempre visitamos "la cabaña del campo" cuando visitamos Bowness para tomar un vaso o dos de Malbec. Este bar familiar es pequeño pero acogedor y el personal es amable y acogedor, y ahora incluso recuerda los nombres cuando volvemos. Hay una gran selección de bebidas tanto frías como calientes, suaves o alcohólicas, con el bar especializado en cócteles. El bar admite mascotas y también cuenta con una zona de asiento con calefacción en la puerta.

Great little bar with nice covered outdoor seating with heaters. Good cocktails. Good service. No idea why it isn't busier.

Vine aquí para un cóctel de palomitas de maíz y no me decepcionó. Fue encantador, la chica que lo hizo fue muy agradable y todo el lugar es un pequeño café / bar encantador.

Visité un sábado por la noche muy húmedo y ventoso. Recibí al instante un pedido de un par de bebidas. Llegaron en pocos minutos. Las dos chicas en el bar fueron visitadas por su aniversario y nos felicitaron. visitar de nuevo

Visited by my wife and I.great choice of drinks and great atmosphere staff very friendly would recommend

Called in a couple of times for drinks and we were not disappointed! Very nice cocktails that we’ve never seen before, lovely atmosphere and accommodating staff.

Popped in for a late night cocktail. A compact little bar, so getting a table inside might be a struggle but well worth it if you can. Comprehensive cocktail menu and super friendly staff made it a very pleasant evening. And they certainly don’t water the alcohol down - I’m still wobbling!

Lovely friendly atmosphere! Well looked after with plenty of choice. Owner is really welcoming. A great place to meet drink and chat. Will definitely return 😀

We visited for drinks after seeing pictures on social media that makes it look like a lively, popular, spacious bar...it wasn't. We almost walked past the bar on the corner and walked inside to a small empty bar that had an odd smell (a mixture of coffee and damp), we decided to sit outside and had a drink which was nice and fairly large but pricey for what it was. I wouldn't visit again, especially with the large selection of bars in the area that are much better.

Great selection of cocktails, perfect for a nice relaxing drink, good atmosphere and helpful staff. Right in the middle of bowness but much more relaxed than the nearby pubs.

Came in here two nights in a row to start the night off. Exceptionally polite and friendly staff make for a great welcome, will definitely come again!

Nice chilled outdoor seating area with heat lamps. Just what we wanted after a long trek. lovely host and drinks. Dog friendly too.

The cocktails were fab! inventive and delicious, perfect for a leisurely afternoon in Bowness, will definitely be back!

We went on a busy saturday night and there were a wide variety of people from hen dos, birthday parties through to couples just enjoying an evening out. There is a brilliant atmosphere. Our dog was made more than welcome, even when he decided to have a snooze right by the door! We offered to move him but the waitress just tip towed round him and made a fuss on passing him. There cocktails were amazing, and the toffee fizz was amazing. Loved it so much tried to go back the next night, but unfortunately it was closed, never mind, we will be back next time we are in bowness.

We stumbled across this spot almost by mistake and sat outside and had a few drinks and watched the world pass by!

Spotted The country hut while looking for somewhere for a birthday drink. We love bowness and this little place was a great find. It was small and cosy. We sat outside with the dog, it was a cold day but there were heaters and blankets to keep up warm. Super dog friendly.

We visited for a quick drink last Friday, early afternoon. I had a cocktail which consisted of Malibu, vodka and fruit juices and my partner had a couple of coffees. The cocktail was large and was served in an old fashioned milk bottle.

We stumbled on this place on our way back down into Bowness from Brant Fell. We stopped in for a quick drink. I had a lovely hot chocolate, and my partner a mulled wine, both of which were delicious.

We stumbled upon this Cafe/Bar on the corner of the road which was small (which we loved) and cosy with outside seats and heaters. The weather was cold but we opted to sit outside even though there was plenty of seating available. sitting under the heater, having a nice drink watching the world go by was a really relaxing. The lady who served us was very nice and friendly and even recommended a local Indian restaurant to go to when we weren't sure where to go (and it did not disappoint) we will be back when we return to Bowness. Cannot recommend this place enough

Nice little find only small but very friendly saw some people outside with blankets and heaters on way back to car sat outside with the heaters it was warm had a few well mixed cocktails excellent well worth a look

Hostess was very nice was greeted with a warm welcome when I walked through the door got served instantly and enjoyed a nice warm mulled wine. Definitely would recommend, very enjoyable experience and will definitely be back

Came here for a stop before we went for food and more cocktails. Ended up staying longer than expected because of the friendliness of the girl behind the bar and how innovative the cocktails were. Definitely worth a visit and will be back.

Pequeño bar brillante y peculiar. El personal va por encima y más allá para todos y cada uno. Nos lo pasamos muy bien allí. Ambiente muy cálido y agradable y los precios son razonables. Encantador lugar encantador personal y definitivamente volveré a visitar! 5 estrellas en todo el tablero.

Just called in for a cup of tea on a cold December afternoon. I think the owners had just taken over. They were very nice, and not too pricey.

Este pequeño y peculiar lugar está justo en el centro de la ciudad, pero aún está escondido. Los nuevos propietarios fueron muy atentos y me dieron mucha información sobre el área local. Un lugar pequeño e íntimo, ideal para una conversación acogedora con amigos. Este será ahora mi local en Bowness!

Fancyó nuestra cerveza al aire libre bajo la lámpara de calor en una tarde inesperadamente soleada de noviembre. El joven que nos servía también sacó una manta y fue muy acogedor, preguntándonos sobre nuestro descanso y lo que habíamos estado haciendo. Incluso sonrió y dijo "Hola" al día siguiente cuando estábamos caminando.

We stopped in on a Saturday night for a quick drink and stayed for a few! Fab cocktails and friendly service. The apple crumble cocktail is a must!!!!

Excepcionalmente amigable, pequeño bar peculiar con buenas bebidas y ambiente.

We've visited Bowness on many occasions and this is the first time we have been to this bar. What a find!!! It is small and cosy. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. They have quite a varied cocktail menu and they make a mean aperol spritz - I'm quite particular about how mine are made! My other half tried a couple of the tiki rum cocktails which were a spectacle to see but also tasted lush. We liked it so much we visited here both nights of our weekend stay. Will definitely return next time we are in the neighbourhood.Just wish it was my local!!!

I’ve been going to bowness for years and been in many places, but for some reason always walked past this place.

Me and wife had the best time ever at this little cosy cocktail bar all with a lovely owner called Justin. Thanks for making our night special 🙏🥂

Great little bar with nice small outside sitting area with heaters. Top service. We only had a bottle of wine but the cocktails looked good.

The country hut never disappoint us, sevice with a smile and proper cocktails, definitely we will return

Nice place to visit, the owner was very polite and very friendly. He made my wife a lovely Gin Cocktail and and nothing was an issue throughout.

Had lovely cocktails, at a very reasonable price in a nice atmosphere. Really friendly and welcoming staff too! Bit tipsy after one drink so you know the measures are good :) See you again soon Thanks

Great little place with nice cocktails and a great owner Would highly reccomend for drinks. Nice ambiance and chilled place to be at reasonable prices

Stopped here for tea and cake to fortify ourselves before climbing up Brant Fell for the marvellous views over Windermere. While the decor was interesting, it was cramped and the tea and cake very average. Doubt I would bother to return.

Myself, bf and his family stumbled upon this place by accident and decided to have his first adult drink there XD

I like to end my day enjoying their fabulous fruit tea. Staff are too friendly and nice. I will keep coming every year.

You can take for granted the inflated prices in Bowness but this takes inflated prices and adds poor service, lack of menu items and idiocy to the menu.

Stopped by for one drink with a few friends. Andy the barman was really friendly. A few of us asked for the Gin cocktail, unfortunately they had ran out of cucumber but he made us a delicious gin cocktail with pear instead! Great presentation of drinks. Lovely outside seating area also and in a fantastic area of the town.

Really cute little cocktail bar. Staff were really friendly and happy to recommend drinks based on your likes. It was sunny when we visited, so nice to be able to sit outside.

We saw the cocktails sign and grabbed one of the outside tables, so glad we did! The ‘apple crumble’ cocktail was my favourite but they were all good.

Perfect place to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon. Drinks are spot on and staff go above and beyond to look after customers. The victoria sponge was a delight and the banter wasn’t half bad either! Thanks Toby & Justin

Came here on recommendation by hotel staff & they didn’t disappoint. Lovely staff, great atmosphere & beautiful cocktails. Will defo return on our next visit :)

The best cocktails in Bowness by far. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly and attentive bar staff. Lovely snacks. Highly recommend!!

Visit the hut regularly, drinks are great and the service is second to none :) Thanks to Justin and the team!

Every time me & my friends have a night out in bowness we always go to the country hut! The atmosphere & music is always great & the customer service is second to non!! Toby & Justin are the best hosts & are always on point! The cocktails are amazing & if you don’t find anything you like on the menu (it would be hard because there is so much choice) they will whip you up your very own made to order cocktail with your fave ingredients!! Defiantly worth a visit if your in the lakes for a night out highly recommend!!!

Been here a number of times on our visits to Bowness Small place in the centre close to all the restaurants Lovely cocktails and drink choices

Me and my friends come through to the country hut every time we come to bowness from kendal. I highly recommend it for cocktails they are fantastic! We have a popcorn cocktail every time we come through just because of how nice they are! Recently we came and Justin and Toby were fantastic! They were very personal with their service, treated us like locals and knew exactly what drink we wanted! Would highly recommend!

Best birthday in my life, surprise from Justin and Toby.. I feel confident all the time and they are really friendly... is my best place when I’m out!! I recommend to everyone..

Visited the hut on many occasions and never been disappointed, the cocktails are made with care, taste delicious and are...

Returned here after enjoying it so much on past visits to the lakes,great to see they haven't slipped behind but...
