"Lovely place with lots of character situated in a pretty village in the North Lakes. Ideal for exploring Lowther Castle and Gardens and for walking the surrounding fells. The room was spacious and very comfortable - especially the large 4 poster bed. Dog friendly too. Lindsay, who organised and served breakfast, was excellent - friendly and interested in us. The room was a bit cold but, to be fair, we didn't raise this. Good ambiance in the bar on an evening. We would stay again and recommend it to others. Thank you for a lovely stay."
