A 17th-century inn with everything you would expect from an ancient hostelry. Old farming and hunting implements adorn the walls, with horse brasses and hops on exposed beams. Slate-flagged floors and a wood-burning stove add to a welcoming atmosphere. The food is of a high standard, using locally sourced ingredients, and can be served in the bar, upstairs dining area, or on the terrace. In addition to a regular beer from Ulverston Brewery, guest ales usually come from local breweries. Magnificent views of the Rusland Valley and Coniston Old Man are a 20-minute walk away.
