17th century Lakeland inn with slate floors, oak beams and a cast iron range with open fire. Situated next to the National Trust Hill Top (Beatrix Potter's home). Delivering great local flavours in food, beer and atmosphere. Four handpumps delivering very local beer plus cider and perry are available. Families and dogs welcomed. Seasonal bus service connecting to the Windermere ferry and Hawkshead. Closed Mondays in winter. Booking essential for evening meals; can get busy at lunchtime in high season so phone beforehand to check if they will be able to accommodate you. Featured in CAMRA's "Pub Walks in Cumbria" guide, this is a welcome place to refresh after a walk in the area. Dogs are now welcome throughout the pub.
