It's a beautiful location. Pub is great inside. BUT ITS NEVER OPEN. I hope the owners leave and it gets back into the hands of people who want to actually run it as a business...actually open it up for coffee and lunches etc. Such a waste of one of the most iconic pubs in the UK.
Great atmosphere and the guy behind the bar (a Welshman) was a superb host who was happy to chat and tell some stories about the place. We had three beers and a soft drink and the price was extremely reasonable. Sad to hear that the building is to be redeveloped so hope it keeps its charm and atmosphere.
Sat outside on a sunny Sept afternoon with a couple of great beers. View was stunning. 2 RAF fighter jets passed very low over our heads, which felt phenomenal. Inside the pub looked cozy and delightful with what looked like to be good food. But its outside you should sit if the weather permits.
This place is magnificent, it dates back to 1492, it has to be haunted. Chris the chilled barman was great. The view down to Windermere is really outstanding. The food was home cooked loveliness. The rooms were clean and tidy. The hosts were really friendly, breakfast was plenty. It's definitely worth a visit.
Great pub with stunning views. We visited when it was raining but it still looked impressive. A real country pub feel. We just stopped for a drink with a big group of friends. There was plenty of seating and it was clean and nice and warm. We were served at the bar straight away. Toilets were clean. Plenty of off road parking.
