Once a busy dinner-dance venue for charabanc parties, the new road bypasses the village so the old coaching inn is now a hidden haven for walkers and cyclists on the coastal route. The excellent selection of well-kept beers changes regularly but always features popular favourites from Bowness Bay. The large main bar has a real fire with a large dining room and two small rooms leading from it. Separate pool and games room above the bike store. The X6 bus stops nearby.

Breakfast is available for non-residents but bookings are advisable. An outstanding local village pub on every level. Westmorland Pub of the Season Spring 2019. CAMRA Accredited for serving consistently well-kept real ales. Locals loyalty card - drink 8 pints get one free.

NB - The pub is closed on Monday and Tuesday from early November through to spring.
