It was spacious, comfortable, warm and clean. The decor was a bit tired and a few more kitchen utensils would have been good. Overall good and I would definitely stay there again if visiting the area.

I've never slept so well in years and that was including storm Amy, there's 3 great pubs with excellent food in all, and just a short drive from Buttermere. Well recommended if you want peace in the middle of nowhere. Many thanks
