Remote hotel serving widespread local communities in Matterdale. Separate bar with flagstone floor and open fire, more formal lounge and dining room. Very sheltered, well-kept garden - a rarity in this area of the northern fells. Much improved and more varied beer range. Welcoming to locals and walkers from the higher level Ullswater roundway which passes by the door. Locally sourced food on a changing blackboard menu. Lack of mobile signal attracts discerning customers!
