| The old inn exterior belies a modern and cold feeling interior. A couple of nice pints of Ulverston Laughing Gravy were quaffed, but the food was not great at all. When you see Cumbrian cheese sandwich with old style piccalilli on a menu priced at £5.75, you'd expect a nice doorstep-size slice of artisan type bread, with a homemade pickle and a good tangy cheese. What we got was thin sliced Mother's Pride, Hayward's piccalilli and pre-grated cheese. Feeling swizzed we made an exit. littledrummerboy - 10 Nov 2013 20:52 |
| A very good pub, friendly staff, no frills just good beer and food with a wonderful location. Floyd - 8 Aug 2010 17:30 |
| Very olde worlde in a slightly run down (but pleasant) way. Charming place with large garden on the seaward side of the Lake District. Plenty of kiddy toys in the garden so family friendly. Great views of the hills. Nice log fires dotted about the bar and lobby. You can eat in the bar or the restaurant. We chose the bar as the latter didn't open until 7pm. It was pricey though for steak. A fillet was circa �20 so I opted for the Rib Eye (�15). That's Surrey prices and although the food was good it wasn't quite �15 good. You did get a enormous serving though. You won't starve there! So I'm going to mark it down a little for that. My wife and friends had other dishes which they thoroughly enjoyed. The home made (very chunky) chips were ace. I think the temptation in some places is to aim for quantity rather than quality. I would rather have a smaller portion and knock of a few quid from the price. Am rather ashamed to say I can't remember the name of the brewery served by the pub (it was a local Lakeland one) but the beer was delicious. I only intended to have one pint but ended up having another (just to check for consistency you understand!). The bar staff seemed somewhat surly initially but I think that's just they way they breed 'em in those parts as they turned out to be very friendly and the service was excellent. Will definitely return if in the area. Jimmski - 24 Apr 2008 20:00 |
| The Bower House was everything we were looking for and more. It was cosy, friendly, clean with lovely little bedrooms, perfect for the romantic weekend (or familly gatherings). The food was great and it was all really reasonable and great value for money. The setting, needless to say is incredibly beautiful. gladis70 - 30 Dec 2006 19:34 |
