Website pics and description give a slightly false impression of what is basically an inn on the main through road to the village with a lovely bar area but a rather pricey restaurant menu. Could well have been outstanding but can't comment on the food as we spent half the amount further up the road. We've stayed in Wales and the Lakes many, many times and whilst the rooms were spotlessly clean they were entirely typical of a decent pub b & b, no more. The place was very well presented but both our twin rooms (Heron and Mallard) were showing signs of tiredness. The twin room single beds were also a bit small. Hardly 'rooms of excellence' following the refurbishment as described and perhaps a little expensive we thought. As a group of four walkers we ate elsewhere (White Hart) in the village for hearty pub food and just had a drink or two after walking back. The bar staff were excellent and very welcoming. Good range of local beers and lagers for southern softies. Excellent breakfast. There was a decent drying room for soggy walkers but aside from route tips from one of the bar staff you didn't get a feeling that this pub was really aimed at walkers - a real lack of enthusiasm from the staff (except as above) quite unlike many places we've stayed at before. Overall we left with a feeling of having stayed in pleasant pub accomodation with fine dining on offer at suitably steep prices. Might be just your thing but it missed the mark for us a bit.
