  “My favourite bolt hole for when heading out onto the fells near Ambleside. Newly refurbished rooms which are comfortable and clean with a nice pub downstairs and lovely people :)”

  “Amazing pub! Would 100% visit again and recommend to anyone visiting Ambleside! The staff are all so helpful and friendly. We had a member in our group with an allium allergy and they were so accommodating and helpful in selecting food they could eat. The dishes were delicious and hearty, perfect for a chilly evening. They also had a great stout, Pimms and selection of many other drinks. It was such a bonus to be able to play some board games too. Chris, who ran the Monday night Pub quiz, was fantastic and great fun. It’s £1 per person to enter and has 6 fun rounds with prizes for the top 3 teams. The atmosphere was warm and vibrant and we will certainly be back next time we are in the area. Thanks so much!”

  “Absolute gem of a pub! Food was *amazing*. I had beef borguignon, couple of friends had the same, couple had the pie which was equally amazing. Gorgeous inside - cosy nooks, low beams, cute decor. Great ales too”

  “My wife and I had a really pleasant couple of hours here. A traditional feel to the place in keeping with the area despite being refurbished in February. The food was very good for pub grub. I had Cumberland sausage and garlic mash with greens, a dish I order regular and this was top tier. My wife had a portion of chips and they too were very good. Background music was good and added to the ambience. We also had the pleasure of the pub dog come and sit with us for a while!”

  “Update of a previous 5 star review. Still 5 star as no option for 6. My heart dropped when I walked past and say the bar had relocated 90 degrees as Lamar district pubs and refurbs are usually a bad combination. However, this is what a refurb should be like. All the character retained, bar layout is actually better and it’s looking less worn without the usual cheap and tacky pub makeover look. Excellent job. And the beers are just as good as is food I believe (never managed to eat there this trip as the night we planned for the chef was in hospital).”

  “Called in for a few beers on Saturday afternoon - pub was busy but not rammed so thankfully got a seat. The young barman was excellent - knowledgeable and friendly. It just had a nice warm feel to the place - we didn’t eat but the food being brought out looked and smelt delicious so we will definitely try it next time. We really enjoyed the beer and the welcoming atmosphere. We would recommend and will return.”
