The George and Dragon is indeed well and truly closed, although some Banksy-esque wag has painted a very convincing open door on the boarded-up entrance, and scenes of boozy conviviality on the boards at each window. I also think the same trompe-l’oeil effect has been applied to the Post Office, with its battered wooden door and barricaded window complete with a slot for the postbox, until Janette points out that it’s real. - Simon Armitage's Walking Home
Wonderful to find this perfect village pub open again after a hard day on the fell. Beer,welcome and fire excellent. Food still to be sampled another day.
Dave and Jackie opened the pub specially for our party of twelve Coast to Coast cyclists. Lovely couple. Home cooked food. Excellent beer. Log fire. Simply phone them. Roger.
Top 5 pub in the UK imho. Great beers, open fires, proper chips, friendly people. Worth going out of your way for.
Great ye olde pub! Exactly how a pub should be! Totally charming, original flagstone floors, wood burners, pool table, dart board and a well crafted selection of beers and ales! Well worth a visit to this idyllic Cumbrian spot.
