Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were very nice and friendly but the room was terrible. I’m not normally fussy but here are just some of the things I didn’t like: poor quality mattress, collapsed bed base, hairs and stains in the bedding, a thick layer of dust on many surfaces, toilet seat not attached to the bowl. I hate to leave a bad review but the 8.0 rating on this website and four stars are very misleading.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Made to feel so welcome and at home from the second we got there. Jonathon and the staff couldnt do more to help. Gorgeous room, very spacious and amazing atmosphere. Will definitely be booking to stay here again in the future

Lovely old pub in a little village, no car park as such, staff were lovely and helpful but room was dusty on skirts and tables and the complimentary biscuits were out of date, two of them were October 2024, the small long Life milks had expired early October as well. We couldn’t get Wi-Fi in the room despite the instructions being in a welcome book and we couldn’t get the tv on anything. Beds were nice and clean and the family room was very spacious with a lovely view. Could easily accomodate four people. Convenient stay over for the Holker Hall Winter Market.

A quaint friendly little local pub with B&B, the en suite room was clean and comfortable with a view over the front of the pub and village. There was not much space for parking, and they didn’t cater much if you have a gluten free diet, but tried their best to accommodate , overall a very nice stay, would definitely return and recommend
