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 sat in the dining room area and it was very tired and worn, sit in the Pub area instead. Outside seating is very smoky. No A/C or even ceiling fans especially since we were in the new set of rooms. No one opened up the windows prior to our arrival and it was literally like an oven. As secluded as it is there is another hotel/restaurant nearby which we enjoyed better.

Relax here, the staff is ready to make this luxury even better with whatever you need! Directions to many local hikes or hot coffee on the picnic tables. So much fun to have, there are gardens, strolls, patios and quiet libraries too. This is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed because I can get some rest, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. Yesterday there was a local marathon- yes!- great runners charged past into the local town of Ambleside. Hikers and dog lovers are here too. National parks close by... what a get-away we are having!!

Such a charming pub and inn right in the middle of the Lakes District. There's a glorious view…read moreoverlooking the mountains right in front of the venue (with picnic tables if you'd like to sit and enjoy it with a pint). Brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks are served at the Drunken Duck, and I'd only really recommend booking for dinner. The beer and cider are mostly local I believe. We did the curry bowl to share (vegetarian and VERY tasty - kind of wish I could get the recipe), scampi, fries, and tartare sauce (those fries are to die for!) and the lamb kofta, hummus, flatbread, and mint yoghurt (great for sharing and noshing). There's plenty of parking on the side of the inn. The inside is decorated beautifully (very insta-worthy), so maybe consider renting out for an event. And yes, you can bring your dog to dinner/drinks.

There is a large beer garden and the Pub/restaurant is situated in a country setting about 5 miles outside Kendal. The food is locally sourced and superb.

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.

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.

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.
