The Piel Castle Inn in South Lakeland

Very very busy, went on a Saturday night. Took a little while to be served, once served went outside but no seating available as it was very packed. Good priced drinks and a lovely atmosphere regardless

I’ve got to admit I’ve been all over the uk and main land Europe, my trip to the Piel has been unbelievable, the staff and locals are fantastic friendly and funny. Leanne and her mum are a class act and fun to be around more Leanne absolutely best bar maid about can’t wait to return

Nice location and impressive ruin nice short ferry.. friendly staff and little cafe/pub... good views out from island....

I was going to say that the Piel Castle is a huge barn of a place, but with the impressive stone walls etc it should perhaps be described as a huge vault or cavern. Whatever descriptive terms we use, there is no doubt that this is an impressive and very attractive pub with beams and exposed rafters aplenty. It is clearly a popular pub and, even on a bitterly cold Wednesday evening, there were several people in. As it is such an unusual and impressive building I was curious to find out what it used to be and was surprised to be told that it has always been a pub. Service was excellent, as were our beers and, as well as probably being the finest looking pub in Ulverston, it is definitely one of the best.
