Best find on holiday ever!!…read more Set in a beautiful little village with a huge village green with loads of parking round and about (although im sure that on a mid summer sunny day parking may be somewhat difficult!). The pub has a bar area and a restaurant area - we only ever went into the bar as you could eat int here and it was really cosy (dogs are also allowed!). The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty (lets face it, Yorkshire, particularly North Yorkshire folk are possibly the most friendly on the planet - i challenge you to disprove this!). The food was INCREDIBLE. Nothing fancy pants, just really good food, VERY big portions (trust me on this, you dont need three courses - choose your weapon of starter or dessert to go alongside your main - we made the mistake one night and 1) couldnt eat it all and 2)pretty much rolled home). We spent an evening in the pub, had a meal and then sat playing card games - we felt incredibly welcome. So welcome that we ended up visiting three times in a week long holiday. You cant really get a better recommendation than that can you??

We loved Mason's Arms for the quaint building and gorgeous views. There is a spot inside next to…read morethe real fireplace that is a cozy sanctuary on a cool rainy day in the Lake District. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was just ok for us. The fish and chips batter did not stick to the fish. The mushroom soup was a puree with mild flavor. The hummus and pita was really good and had lots of garlic flavor. The fudge for sale at the bar was a real miss as it tasted more like a grainy carmel than fudge.

A lovely pub, out in what seems like the middle of nowhere, with a cozy bar area downstairs (and a…read morenice hot fire!) and delicious meals served upstairs. Friendly service, there seems to be a pub cat that wanders around, and you can buy local fudge from the bar. My husband and I shared the Three Little Piggies - black pudding and sausage rolls, a pork and leek scotch egg, a whole bunch of honey roasted chipolatas (which are sausages, I just learned that), served with bread, cheese pate, and apricot jam. A big portion for two, so of course we shared it with the others. Everything was great - you could build lovely little bites by putting the sausages in bits of bread and topping with some of the spreads. It's rustic Northern food, but really comforting and delicious. For our mains, my husband and I shared the stew pot of the day (rabbit), and one of the specials - lamb with lentil dahl on the side. All the meat was really tender and succulent, the lamb in particular had great flavor, the variety of accouterments alongside added texture and depth to the dish. The meal was hearty and homey, just how you want English pub food to be. Finished with a lush sticky toffee pudding, very rich. "Very treacley," apparently, as someone said, and I thought it was lovely with ice cream. Four of us split it, which was enough for us as the main courses are quite filling. A great place to stop for a meal in the Lakes, looks like they had lots of patio seating for warmer months when the weather is better - we'll have to return!

We were staying in a caravan park just down the road and needed a place to eat in the evening. We…read morecame across this delightful pub within a few minutes of searching. We spent the remainder of our holidays here, every evening. Nestling by a brook full of eels. The pubs dog, Jasper, loved to just stand in the cooling water on the hot evenings that we experienced this July. Sufficient room to sit outside with plenty of tables. Service is second to none. Professional, efficient and, more to the point, friendly. Great selection of real ales, my favourite was the Cromwell. Now to the reason for frequenting this hostelry, the food. A reasonable menu taking into account the position of this pub. A good varied choice of fresh seafood, burgers, curries and steaks. We tried most of them and they all were extremely tasty. All cooked to order. Great mussels in white wine. Behind the bar is a blackboard describing their Naga 'Viper' curry made with, 'officially', the hottest chilli pepper. Underneath is written 'Curries ordered 528, curries eaten 400' LOL. I love hot curries but, even I, would not attempt it. We hope to make a return visit next year. Many thanks to the 'guvner', his wife, the staff (especially the chef and kitchen staff) for making our short holiday break a total delight. See you again.

Out of them, The Fleece is the best for quality (but not cheap) pub food, I was reliably informed by a local, and then sweetly taken there to verify this. The interior retains the traditional pub feel - a low ceiling, fire place, real ale and dark, unregimented furniture and a dog or two lying on the stone floor. You can still stand at the bar to get a pint but it is mostly waitress service in gastro-pub style. They have a great menu if you are into meat - lamb shank and good fish. They were even able to modify my fish, potatoes and vegetables so that it was dairy and gluten free - not a hard thing to do in this case but I always appreciate the effort. The lamb shank of my Addingham local looked like it was done to perfection.

Possibly the best roast dinner in Lancashire!…read more After a short walk around Pendle Hill we popped into this establishment. This is an upmarket place and it was busy with folk having Sunday lunch so we sat in the bar area, but they were willing to accommodate us if more were eating. Therefore I cannot comment on the restaurant areas of this pub. As this pub is now owned by the seafood group, there is a lot of seafood on the menu or the specials board which I would like to go back and try. I chose the Sunday Roast as it was cheaper than most things on the menu at £13.50 and a pint of diet coke would set you back £2.50. The Sunday roast isn't on the menu but on the blackboard. This is seriously the best Sunday roast that I have had in a long time. None of it was overcooked, dry, shrivelled. It was delicious and the beef was tender and tasty. The dessert didn't disappoint either, I had the knickerbocker glory. Whilst we were eating the main, they rubbed off the Sunday Roast off the blackboard. Glad we got there in time! This is a walker and dog friendly pub and there seemed to be a good vibe.

The couple who run this B&B are incredibly friendly and just lovely people to have a conversation with over one of their trademark HUGE full English breakfasts! They have a wealth of knowledge about places to go and things to do in the nearby Peak District National Park, and are also authorities on the local pubs! The rooms are not big but very cosy and homely, with small en suite bathrooms in every room. The beds are out of this world comfortable, and are so high and well-stocked with pillows that it is a struggle not to think that you may have been coronated some kind of monarch between coming through the door and sitting down on the bed! Rowsley is peaceful and very pretty - a stereotypical Peak District village, and my girlfriend and I always look forward to our stays here.
