Do you know 'The Fool and Bladder' ? Well this place has that atmosphere, and the advantage of actually existing! Great beer, great prices, great place - possibly the best pub I've ever been to (and that's a lot of pubs!!!)

Walked here from the Silverdale campsite. Lovely walk, and the pub at the end was a delight. Very dated but staff lovely, drink was very reasonable and great outdoor seating. Bar area not suitable for kids, but they have a lounge area that kids are allowed in if the weather's not great. Dog friendly with multiple water bowls dotted around for thirsty pooches. Thoroughly good watering hole 🫶. Our daughter loved the domino keyrings they had on sale for £1... so we all left happy 😊

Located up the hill above Silverdale. It is not the friendliest place but acceptable. Nice to sit outside with views over the village.

A portal to a simpler time where beer was cheaper and bars had proper snacks. The Woodlands, commonly referred to as 'the woodies', is home to friendly bar staff who warmly accommodate all who come to drink there. With stunning views of the village and the bay, 'the woodies' is in an idea location surrounded by the woods looking out over land and deer.

Stopped here with my dear brother-in-law and had a couple of pints super place. Wonderful views sat out the front and they had food wagons serving really really delicious looking food. Wonderful conversation with a guy who done a 25 year shift at Woodlands keeping the place up and running. By the way, I missed out the most important thing they had for guest ales, which were absolutely super beautifully kept real beer.

This place is for beer drinkers, it's like going into the past a lovely couple run the pub there are no frills but there are great people and a wonderful choice of beers at real prices, bit of a walk up a hill but well worth it.

Mixed review here as I love it but it’s a very old pub experience . I understand other points of view as it isn’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea yet I would like to point out that this timeless gem is so wrong it’s actually right. In New York they calm these dive bars, in an affectionate way. If this place got new furniture and a lick of paint I think it would actually ruin it. So. To finish. It’s a must go to place. Then you decide. As I said. I love it.

Saturday 17th June 2023 This real ale pub is a great real ale pub it served 4 good beers can't say if real ale as the landlady refused to let me get a picture of the back room where the beers were kept that's her right so like for like I can't give a propper to my viewers through her actions The pub is a gem really big old fashione interiors and a beer garden with magnificent views of the area

Unique local with a good selection of traditional beers and cider. No music or TV, as a rule, unless major sporting event, when the games room is set up for community viewing. Friendly people and staff. Beer very well kept. Strongly recommend Pippa's Pie's. Delivered 5:30 on a Friday and lucky if any left by Saturday tea time! Dog friendly, sometime there are more dogs than people! Tends to be very busy late afternoon/early evening.

As far as I know, this place doesnt have guests to stay overnight, what I do know is that this is a little gem of a place to stop by when out walking, or just go to ti chill out. It's a step back in time as you walk through the door, including the price of the refreshments. Its run by a couple and is dog friendly to the extreme. Sometimes half as many pooches as customers. There is seating outside with a wonderful view of Silverdale and surrounding area. Walkers use it and the local caravan parks, so you can usually end up chatting to someone who could have come from as far away as Wigan or Newcastle . Friendly atmosphere. Worth checking out.

Quite enclosed dog friendly campsite. Lovely rural location. The pub is very welcoming and friendly by both locals and visitors. Owners outstanding and cant do enough for you. Cask Ales on point and food excellent at reasonable prices. Would highly recommend and we are coming back in the spring (maybe sooner) for a week. Good transport links by both 81 bus and train station at Wennington.

We were well taken care of by a charismatic host, the pizza was easily the best I've had in Morecambe, and whoever is responsible for selecting the tunes clearly know where the bops are at. Service, atmosphere and fare thoroughly unimpeachable. A* stop to bottom. No notes.
