    We stayed for 1 night and the hosts were welcoming and friendly throughout the stay. The pub / dining experience was enjoyable and the evening meal was very good as was the selection of food and beer overall! The room although compact was clean and in a nice overall state and we slept well as the inn is in a lovely country setting and free from major road noise. There was ample parking on the date of our stay and the cooked 'Cumbrian' breakfast was very nice.
