Award-winning, welcoming family-run pub in the book town of Sedbergh on the Dalesway Walking Route and the Cumbria Cycleway. Free house with frequently changing selection of well-kept ales in different styles. Large bar with wood-burning stove plus two separate dining areas suitable for families and groups. An imaginative 2 Rosette menu makes the best of seasonal local ingredients, and the cooked breakfasts are well worth experiencing. The guest rooms are stylish and furnished to a high standard, making a good base for exploring the Howgill Fells and the Lake District - or just reading books.

Five cask ales are served, mainly from local breweries, reducing to the three regular beers during winter months. May close early if quiet, especially off-season.

A sheltered Courtyard area serves casual BBQ and grill fare during the summer months and offers a pleasant outside setting.
