Well situated in a quiet village close to junction 38 on the M6 this 16th century coaching inn is located in the Howgills on the much older east/west route between the Lake District and North Yorkshire. The pub garden overlooks a narrow valley with the fledgling Lune at the leafy bottom. Ideal as a north/south stopover, the accommodation includes rooms and lodges. If calling in for refreshment, there are outside tables and an adventure playground to keep the kids amused. Regular events include sports fixtures on wide screens and occasional live music.

Visitors can enjoy cosy fires in the winter and the sunny garden in the summer.

Private functions are catered for.
