Country Inn and hotel in a perfect Lake District location. Award-winning real ales, delicious home cooked pub food, lovely B&B rooms. A real gem.

This brilliant walkers bar lives up to expectations as always. This really isnât a place for expensive jeans and handbags, itâs a place for walking boots, backpacks and wet dogs on a wet Sunday in September. Weâd booked the nice clean table in the window for 2.30pm and walked in on time and drenched having been waking all morning.As always a great lineup of local beers, gins and the rest youâd expect from an established bar.The food was fabulous and not microwave nuclear. Veggie option of mushroom Wellington for one of our party was more than good as were they all. This is a well run, friendly place serving some great home cooked food. If youâre near take the time to visit but expect to pat some wet dogs.Thankyou for you review, it gives our great staff a real boost to receive some recognition. The Badger Bar has a simple mission: proper food and great beer in a lovely setting. Nothing pretentious, everyone (and their dog) is welcome. We also have dog friendly bedrooms so you could stay longer.For anyone not so keen on our four legged friends, but we do have dog free parts of the bar as well, so everyone can feel comfortable.

This is already listed as an Inn/B&B but I want to write a review for the food only, as I just had a meal there.

Visited here for a meal while on a family holiday. My mother in law wanted to eat here as she had stayed here on her honeymoon back in the 60s! Lovely staff and atmosphere but sadly let down by the food. Everything was overcooked and it looked like the mussels we had for starters had evaporated, they were the size of peas. Cumberland sausage was overcooked and dry . I had one a couple of days before at another pub and that was cooked to perfection . Such a nice pub and good reviews so maybe we visited when the chef had a bad day !!!Hi Dizzytrout,Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your time spent with us. It is amazing to know they spent their honeymoon here all that time ago! It is a shame to see you were disappointed with the meal though. As you say, we do normally get good reviews which makes me think it is a case of a one-off bad day. I will be mentioning your comments to the Chef and his team though to ensure they know that standards need to still be met.If you would like to discuss anything further, please feel free to email me at [email protected] regards,Jess

We have eaten here before, and the food was just as good this time. The portions are large, so go with an appetite. This was the first time that we had stayed, the room was just about big enough, the bed was very comfortable, but the hot water supply to the shower was a bit hit and miss. Overall though a comfortable stay in a great rural location.

Stopped off here just for coffee on our way to our B&B in Ullswater. Weâd already eaten but wished we hadnât as the food looked fabulous & very reasonably priced. We just had coffee which was nice the girl serving was helpful made a big effort making decaf coffee with warm milk. We sat outside in the sun a really nice atmosphere. Really good setting will defiantly be back & will eat there next time.

We decided to come to the hotel knowing that it was flooded in 2015 and wanted to support it. Ideally we wanted to stay there but it was fully booked.The bar had a good atmosphere with TVs on showing the football. I had the vegetable curry which was delicious. Totally different to any other curry I have ever had as there was not too much sauce and the vegetables were cut on the slant and nicely presented. My husband had the steak pie which was full of tender chunks with tasty gravy. We sat by the door to the beckside decking as it was a warm evening. Very nice

Reviewed By DumDumBoy
The Beckside Bar added a nice plus to our short stop at Glenridding (to visit Lake Ullswater). Weather meant we could sit outside (although inside was clean and nicely laid out). Food was ordered at the bar and bought out piping hot shortly after. A numbered wooden spoon indicated our location. This was superior pub food. D opted for the grilled halloumi salad and loved it! I went for the chicken/chorizo skewers (with a rich aioli dip), a bowl of fries (of course! Cooked perfectly) and the crispy fried brie (served with a quite wonderful pear and cranberry chutney and a jalapeno dip. Delish! Service was quick and with a smile. If we're ever back this way...

Always enjoy a visit to the Travellers Rest anytime weâre in the area.The history and atmosphere inside always feels good, never eaten here but always noticed the menu choice is quite good! Ideal to pop in for a quick drink on the end/start of a hike or even to spend the evening there enjoying the choice of beers and listening to the live music every other week

I come to Matterdale End home/dog sitting about 4 times a year and I always come to the Inn on the Lake for Sunday lunch. I am usually a solo diner and i am always welcomed. The staff usually recognise me and are attentive. Sunday lunch is always of the highest quality. The beef is always pink which is just how i like it. HOWEVER, this time was not up to par. A friend was visiting for the weekend and i told her how fabulous this place is. We turned up having failed to make a reservation and were unable to get in the Orangery. The Orangery has amazing views and i always dine in there. On this occasion we were in the Candleroom which overlooks the car park. Fabulous greeting from Louisa who is always lovely. She is a fabulous waitress who always has a smile. Emma served our table and she was fabulous. All staff members excel at what they do. Starters were lovely and then it went wrong. Beef was luke warm, veg was luke warm and only one carrot between two people, roasties were insipid and again luke warm. The only thing hot was the plate. My friend send hers back to be reheated. I was too hungry so i ate it as it was. After a 5 minute wait and when i had nearly finished, my friends meal returned but was no better. A table of 4 also complained that the food wasn't hot enough too. When we were asked if all was ok, i explained that it just wasn't up to standard. I was told management would be approached to see if there would be any reduction in bill but when the bill arrived there was not. Had this been my first visit, i wouldn't have returned. What has happened? Really not up to usual standard. Was it because of the wedding? Taking on too much that the kitchen staff were too pushed? Consequences are: We didn't leave a tip which meant the fabulous serving staff missed out. I was going to book for next Sunday when again i have a visitor but have decided to try The Foxborough in Carlisle instead.Dear ladybird2254Thank you for your review. We are truly sorry if your lunch wasn't up to normal standards, we have gained a very good reputation for our Sunday lunch so I am deeply disappointed that you left unhappy.I will be speaking to my Candle room manager and the chefs who were working on that particular day as this is not the norm as you point out in your review and infact quite opposite to what you have experienced in the past.We look forward to welcoming you back and hope we can make up for your one off experience.Kind regardsGaryGeneral manager

We were pitched up on the campsite and decided to have supper. My venison casserole was stupendous and you could have lived inside my wifeâs steak pie. The local Tirrell ales were a perfect compliment to this and we enjoyed it all so much we popped in the next night and had a starter and pud! We both had the Nachos which were enormous as well as being excellent. If you are passing, walking or just staying in the campsite then this is the place to come
