Rooms and Suites
The hotel offers deluxe double rooms in the 1658 Hall with original sandstone walls and oak beams. Annex rooms have super king-size beds that convert into twins, plus walk-in wet rooms. The Copley suite is a large family space with period decor, while Annex B provides dog-friendly accommodations with direct access to outdoor areas.
Dining and Bar
Guests choose from four dining areas, including a Mediterranean-style beer garden and a lounge bar with a wood-burning fireplace. The restaurant serves homemade pies (e.g., steak and mushroom, venison and haggis) and a tapas menu with dishes like salt and pepper squid and lamb koftas. Breakfast uses locally sourced ingredients, with a 5-item pick-your-own menu and poached eggs praised by guests.
Location and Outdoor Activities
The inn sits in Gosforth village, a 10-minute drive from Wastwater Lake, England's deepest lake, and Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain. Blengdale Forest offers walking and cycling trails directly accessible from the hotel. Muncaster Castle & Gardens is a 5-minute drive, providing a historic attraction with gardens and owl displays.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
The hotel accepts up to two dogs per room in designated Annex rooms with easy access to outdoor areas. A short walk from the hotel leads to a field with panoramic views for dog exercise. The resident cat, Missy Mo, and the staff's dog-friendly attitude (including treats for pets) are noted in guest reviews.
Entertainment and Events
The bar hosts live entertainment, including a Sunday quiz night and occasional Apres Ski parties with fire pits, outdoor bar, and a DJ. Special events such as beer festivals occur regularly, with the beer garden featuring heated patio areas for cooler evenings. Indoor and outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the atmosphere regardless of weather.

“The beer garden is a real highlight, a sun-drenched spot that invites lingering, and the pies, particularly the steak and mushroom, are genuinely superb. Rooms, even those within the annex, are found to be both clean and comfortable, with modern bathrooms that include excellent walk-in showers. Breakfasts are well-regarded, offering a pleasing variety to start the day, and the staff consistently come across as friendly and attentive.”
