Only stopped in for a few pints but really nice pub with a nice helpful landlord. Dog friendly as all the pubs seem to be in Cartmel. Lovely & a very welcoming hotel even if you're not a resident you can still enjoy the bar.

Really nice hotel in a lovely Cumbrian village setting, but made perfect by the people who work there.
