Woodlands, Silverdaleback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Went looking for this pub one Saturday afternoon after a visit to Leighton Moss RSPB reserve. It took some finding, in the dark, but our satnav told us we had arrived. We stopped, saw the pub sign and headed up the path (don't go left immediately on the small road).
We parked in front of the grand building. The building entrance was amazing. The two rooms which form the 'pub' are quite different. As we had a child with us, we settled in the room with the pool table and TV. England were playing football that afternoon and it was on the TV in the room we were in but here was only 4 people watching it, so it was all good and civilised.
The main bar was busy but service was not slow. Four ales to choose from and the one I tried was fine.
All to soon, it was time to show some consideration to our driver and head homewards.
Great pub, wonderful that such places still exist. Highly recommended to pub lovers.

Well I think previous reviewer, Lezford has just about covered it.
If you like quirky this is for you. This building has been a mill owners house or some such. It’s rather grand on a small scale. Someone could do a lot with the property but I hope they don’t; they would spoil a very unusual pub.
Do what we did all weekend; see if you can remember the theme to The Munsters! (see Arihall review)

The 2014 GBG says this place is in an elevated position , well I didn't expect it to be as high up above the village as it was.
4 real ales and 4 real ciders available. All the ales were priced at £2.50 a pint while the ciders are £3.00 each. I went for a pint of Celts' Castell Coch @ 4.7%, a very good and well kept pint.
All the punters in one large room with the bar but the building is huge, if you enter via the right of the building you come into the most amazing tiled entrance hall.
The building has obviously fallen on slightly hard times but the pub is surviving, testament to the locals for their support.
Inside the bar is pretty dark so we took our drinks outside where there are stunning views over the village.
They are holding a beer festival here this month (October) where they will be offering 30 ales.
One of the better ticks I have made on my Northern road trip, I do love the Camra GBG!

First class pub, good selection of cask ales at non rip off prices, they even use lined glasses to ensure a full pint and a head, very friendly landlord and customers, it's also dog freindly. We call in each time we're in the area and recommend that you do too.

Like the other comments, excellent pub, full of friendly locals, choice of 4 ales, all in good nick, and from all over UK, good price at �2.20 a pint.

Excellent pub - well worth a visit. There's a bus which meets most train arrivals at Silverdale Railway Station, and which will take you to the pub's drive - just ask the driver. Also known as (we were told by the locals) "The Munsters"

agree with the above but its nick name is woodys now great pub great beer usually 4 or 5 different real ales each week all superb and hosts JANE n DAVID are exceptional if your in the area this is a MUST visit place

Fantastic pub, nicknamed the 'spooky' pub, that's 'cause it is. From the outside it looks like an abandoned building but it's definately one of the best pubs I've ever been to. Atmosphere inside and outside is great! Sometimes it can be packed and other times it's not. If you're visiting the Lakes makde sure to stop there for a pint! One more thing a pint is �1.30!!!
