Large inn with outstanding views across Ullswater to the Northern Fells which can be enjoyed from the sunny terrace. Large bar, separate from the hotel, with open fire and range of mostly local ales. All food is local and its origins displayed on a map in the bar. The hotel is close to the Ullswater round way and serviced by the Penrith to Patterdale bus route.

A change of ownership occurred in Summer 2023 and the on-site Brack’N’Brew brewery is not currently operational. We understand that the long-term plan is to re-establish the microbrewery and taproom in the converted stable block.

Information for this venue is provided by the Westmorland (Solway Sub Branch) Branch of CAMRA
