The bar is part of the hotel/restaurant but stands as an entity in its own right. Well kept beers from mainly local Brewers, including Barngates. Real fire to warm and dry you . Staff are friendly. Food is excellent and can be eaten in the restaurant if you want or if it is busy. Try the pie! A must for any visit to the area. It is about 15 minutes walk from Ambleside

Nice enough place - most if it is for gorgers of food but the area closer the bar was more drinker friendly though you do share it with a number of badgers (stuffed and otherwise) Beer was good and the buses to Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick stop near enough outside.

Another tick in the area for me from the 2015 GBG following a short bus ride from Windermere.

Right on the main Kendal to Keswick road. A welcoming bar area awaits you as you enter.

5 ales on the hand pumps with my choice of Old School Brewery Badger Bar Ale @ 3.8% brewed exclusively for the bar & very drinkable.

Wonky floors and an amazing room to the left of the bar that has to be seen to be believed, anyone that's been here will know what I mean.

No fruit machines or televisions just a quality little bar.

I only had time for 1 beer but a good tick anyway.

Decent country inn overlooking Rydal on the road between Ambleside and Grasmere, 3/4 well kept cask ales.

Passed on here and on the way from Grasmere to Ambleside. Didn't look anything special from the outside being attached to the hotel but do not let this deceive you. Great choice of local ales on pump and bottles from the Winster Brewery available in bottles to drink in our take out. V friendly with discount for CAMRA members.
