We came to stay here as a birthday treat for my husband as he enjoys real ale and craft beers and we love the Lakes. all the staff were helpful and cheerful. we had our evening meal from the specials menus and the food quality was excellent. Our room had everything we needed and the bed was really comfortable. The only thing which could make the room better is a small shelf in the en suite for toiletries but that is being picky. thank you so much for such an enjoyable stay we will return,

Very disappointing ! Haven’t been for a few years, always had great food on way home from lakes after days out, called in yesterday with family on my recommendation, always used to have gammon steak which was melt in the mouth delicious. After ordering our food and paying for it at 5 pm, it finally turned up an hour later ! My gammon was paper thin and burnt almost to a crisp, my daughter complained her burger was dry and not nice, Needless to say , won’t be calling again.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a fabulous weekend. The staff were exceptional and couldn't do more to help. Amin, Anna, Jess, Izzy and John you were all amazing and made our stay one to remember and want to return❤️

The only good thing about our meal was the lovely wait staff. Paid £103 for 4 beef Sunday roasts, portion of chips and 4 soft drinks. The meat tasted like it was out of a packet, and the gravy was jelly like which would prove this theory. The veg was a mix of undercooked and cold. And it took nearly 40 minutes to arrive despite being first in at 12pm and the first ones ordering. Can understand now why it was so quiet, just gutted that we wasted so much money on inedible rubbish!

The drinks reasonably priced, the food seriously over priced. I had the steak and Ale pie, wasn't really a pie, some nice pieces of beef but just a square of hard pastry on top and a portion of over cooked chips. A few pence short of £20. Wife had chilly con carne with rice, no flavour really and very watery. I believe this was £ 17. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I'm not sure why this place has so many good reviews regarding food. The pricing suggests your going to be blown away with it but total rip off.
