Situated just off the town centre but still close to the shops, this is a lucky find for tired tourists. Although a hotel, the bar is a welcome rest from the bustle of Bowness and it's a great place for a tasty bite. The various rooms have different feels and the entrance area has a large fire and comfy seating with lovely views. The outdoor terraces overlook the rooftops to Lake Windermere and beyond to the distant hills. Two changing cask ales are served, mainly from local breweries.
