This place clearly was an old coaching inn and you can really sense the history and age of the place. There are many different rooms which cater for different things, a lovely bar, a larger dining room and some smaller ante-rooms for things such as afternoon tea which I would definitely recommend. Well worth a stop en route to Keswick!

I would've expected something like this at a reservation-only restaurant in London. The special pizza (caramelised onions and chorizo with mascarpone and chilli) was amazing. We sat at the bar and watched the food being prepared and served, and everyone was super professional and each plate was inspected by the chef before it was seen fit to be sent out. This place was fully booked on Saturday night (18:45) so I would recommend making reservations.

If you find yourself driving here, look out for a village called Lockerbie at J17. Instead of spending a fortune dining without ambience at a motorway services, do yourself a favour and stop at The Townhead Hotel instead. We did just that on the way up from Manchester recently and had a superb, revitalising meal after a testing day. My brother in law and I both had one of the homemade Buccleuch Beef burgers with Stilton served with beer batter onion rings, relish, coleslaw and deliciously crisp chips (fries). Very nice indeed, with a portion size for good, hearty appetites. My Mum, who is a starter fanatic, ordered the sharing platter for 2 as a main course and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've forgotten what my Sister ordered, apologies, but we all commented on how tasty our food had been. We were dining in the evening and there were small candles on the table, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. Declan our Waiter and Honor behind the bar were fun & attentive hosts. It was just what we needed as slightly weary travellers and gave us the impetus required for the last leg of the journey. I'd recommend a visit!

Downside (being picky but I think is important to say), the wine list by the glass was limited, as was the cocktail menu. The menu was also limited for lunch and many items were duplicated, (especially the starters), for the dinner menu. However... you should not hesitate to try this place. As some would say, "what they do, they know what they do and do very well" and prices were also reasonable, especially when considering the quality and the location! Make a reservation if in high season.
