We stopped in here during the coast to coast walk for an evening meal. I had a salad that was colourful, tasty and filling (and I like my meat!) The dessert was lovely too.

We had a spacious and perfectly comfortable twin room at the White Lion. Stayed for an evening meal - which was excellent and with very generous portions. Good breakfast and really good service.

We stopped off here after a walk up Place Fell. Only had a pint of lager, but staff were very helpful. I visited the ladies toilet, which I have to say is wonderful! It was very clean, looked quite new. The view from the small window in the ladies toilet is amazing!
