A shining beer beacon in the Langdale valley especially for walkers on the heights of the stunning surrounding fells! Unsurprisingly popular, the five rooms around the small bar fill quickly and the plentiful outdoor tables are equally busy in summer. Great atmosphere and great beers - featuring Langdale Brewing (the sister business) and other local ales. Hearty Lakeland food for hungry hikers. Residents can recover after their exertions in the nearby spa with large indoor pool. Autumn beer festival.

The Langdale Brewery takes it's water from a well 90m below the pub and this water can be tried from a tap outside the main door.

Information for this venue is provided by the Westmorland (Solway Sub Branch) Branch of CAMRA

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Allegedly built 'around 500 years ago as a gentleman farmer's house' though it looks at least a couple of hundred years younger. The front door leads direct to one of the original rooms, but only the fireplace is of any age. However, the back wall has been removed so it's now open to a staircase and two corridors. On the right is the characterful main bar which has a sturdy, plain bar counter (1950s?) with simple shelving behind. The slate fireplace is modern. The 'back bar' and restaurant are both recent converts to pub use and contain nothing of interest. A framed 'for sale' leaflet from 1896 describes the building as having 'two front rooms, a large kitchen and bedrooms over'.
