It's been a month since we left the Sun Inn and I'm still having rapturous memories of our visit…read more We've stayed in a few other inns in the Lake District, but this was our favorite. We enjoyed a clean and comfy room with lovely touches like treats and milk for tea in an insulated carafe. I really appreciated the bath salts after our two hour hike! Downstairs is an attractive pub with friendly and accomodating hosts, kick-ass brekkies...and fresh coffee available on demand throughout the day. Two downsides for me were the very early trash pick up (loud clattering of bottles around 7 am) and the distant parking, which we knew beforehand, but hey, I guess it's okay since we were in the Lakes to do some walking anyway. As it's right in the center of a charming village, you have to appreciate the lack of car parks. Also notable is the bell ringing at nearby St. Mary's...loved hearing the quarter hours marked, but disliked counting down the days to our departure. Tempus fugit...so hurry to the Sun Inn.

The Willowfield Whammie is as much a description as a name. Portions are generous, bacon is fried to perfection and the fried bread is the icing on the cake... the proverbial cake of course. Well worth a visit, you will also enjoy this quaint village with its little souvenir shops tucked in between the everyday essentials. A town packed into a small space!

Stayed here on the 13th May 2011. Very nice friendly man on reception.

The room was clean and tidy with extra towels and pillows provided. However, the china mugs beside the kettle hadn't been washed properly - there were slight coffee dregs in both - so I had to thoroughly clean them in the bathroom before using. There was a flat screen TV and wi-fi was available at a rate of £5 per hour for those with laptops.

The Mill Inn is a canalside pub and hotel at Conder Green near both Glasson Dock and Lancaster. It…read morehas 15 rooms however we visit it as pub customers when we're out and about on the canal. It has a lovely big beer garden, with a play area for kids, which is very popular on summer days. Inside it is airy, spacious and smartly furnished but with a relaxed atmosphere. Staff are always friendly and the well stocked bar has local Bowland beers on draught as well as a good selection of lagers and international beers such as Hoegaarden. It is a while since we have dined here and it may have changed hands in the meantime so I won't do a lengthy review on the food however we always enjoyed dining here. A quick glance at the menu when we were last in revealed reasonable prices with mains off the menu averaging £12, with the exception of steaks which naturally are more expensive. The food looked lovely and we shall definitely dine here again in the near future. Smashing pub, one of our favourites along the Lancaster canal!

Cozy atmosphere, but not stuffy, and bonus: formal attire is not required. Since the restaurant is along a canal walking trail, diners wore a range from hiking shoes to high-heels. This dinner was a standout dining experience on our trip to Lancashire.

Located in a gorgeous old 17th century house this pub oozes charm inside and out. We stopped here for lunch on our way to the Lake District and loved it. The Wheatsheaf Inn has been serving Beer and Food to visitors, sightseers and locals alike since 1609. The menu is a classic pub menu and has pies, fish and chips and other such pub classics. They also have a good selection of vegetarian / vegan dishes. The bitter here is good and they have 2-3 on draught. The fish and chips were a decent portion with homemade tartare sauce and good thick chips. It was light crispy and well cooked on the inside. Happily stop here again for a meal. It's a gorgeous old pub that has been updated and service is nice and friendly. Prices are also reasonable for the area.

With only two pubs in town & both being Thwaites there's not really a lot to choose between them…read more The Cocks though has more TVs so is the obvious choice if you want to watch some sport. I can't remember what we ate when we included food on one visit but we had no complaints about the meal. The only cloud on the horizon was from overhearing a regular expounding on how the EDL had the right idea but then there's little staff can do about that, particularly if you can't rely on tourist income all year round.

Nice pub and hotel just south of the lakes district. I…read morevisited the day before a severe storm hit the coast and while I had hoped for a walk in the bracing wind After breakfast, I had to make do with a swift bolt to the car to avoid the rain and lashing winds. I'm told it is quite pretty in summer but looked fierce when I visited. I booked a single room which was sufficient for me. The bathrobe was a lovely touch. Sadly there's no hot water in the morning - obviously the other 10 guests had showered before me and used it all up. The included breakfast was a standard full English but served with charm by the staff who were a real highlight of this charming old place.

We stayed at the Beech House Hotel, and stopped in the deluxe 'Penthouse'…read more The room was extremely well designed - Probably well above the standards you would expect of a 5 star hotel. It was extremely clean, and the large bed was very comfortable indeed. Overall Summary: Positives ---- 1. Extremely clean. 2. Excellent breakfast - All items were locally produced, including the bacon, sausage, etc, for the full breakfast. 3. Room very well designed - Bathroom was very good, with underfloor heating - Everything had been given attention to detail. 4. Very helpful and friendly owners. 5. Handy car park available at the back of the hotel Negatives ------ 1. There were two large tables in the dining area, so when busy, you would have to share with other guests - Not a problem for some people, but it would have been nice to have your own table and space. 2. I had a few problems with internet access, but was able to use it successfully from the lounge area - so it wasn't really a problem. - and will probably have been sorted out by now. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone, and will definitely be staying there again when we next visit Kendal.
