Built in the 18th century, this traditional Lakeland Inn with oak beamed ceilings, local stonework and open fires, retains all the character you would expect from such a building.

Situated in the quiet village of Penruddock, just off the A66, with views across meadows to Motherby and towards the Northern Fells of Blencathra and Carrock Fell in the west, this really is a beautiful location to spend a few hours or several days.
