I cannot recommend The Pheasant Inn highly enough. My Daughter booked my Husband and I for a surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary gift as we had honeymooned in the Lakes at a Hotel on Lake Ullswater. We were warmly welcomed in to the reception area then taken to one of the Superior rooms I think was named Calderbeck. Each room has... More

we have just returned from a one night stay at this lovely hotel, our room was at the front of the hotel and was so cosy and comfortable with a large bathroom. We ate in the bistro the food was very good and the staff so helpful and friendly, the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever... More

We stayed the night in this lovely old inn during a four night "fine dining" walking tour in the Lake District. This was a really comfortable, cosy and intimate place to stay with great service and lovely food. We stayed in one of the superior rooms which had a fantstic four poster bed and was very comfortable with lots of... More

My wife and I sometimes call in the Pheasant for a drink and find the small bar very quaint with its lack of modernity and beer served in pint pots rather than straight glasses. The ales - local beers - are usually well kept but the sparklers on the hand pulls need to be adjusted as the pints are served... More

Great hotel with plenty of character and fantastic food. Fabulous place to visit for a nice relaxing weekend and close to areas around the lake. Staff were friendly and attentive and were on hand to help at all times. The bar is cosy and you feel you are in a local due to the friendliness of the clientele. We will... More

We visited the Pheasant Inn recently when in the area to celebrate my birthday, unfortunately we stayed at Armathwaite Hall which was not such a delightful experience, (separate review posted,) really wished we had stayed here.. We used to live just down the road in Cockermouth in the 1980's and this used to be a favourite place to visit on... More

We had a wonderful stay over the weekend at The Pheasant. Originally booking in for 1 night, we loved it so much, we stayed for 3! Check out the Spring Break offers. We stayed in a superior room as an upgrade which was kindly offered to us by the owner. The food in the Fell is excellent, although we ate... More

We only booked the Pheasant a few days before our trip, never having been there before. The hotel/inn is extremely comfortable, great open fires, comfy lounges, and excellent food (both bistro and restaurant). The staff were excellent, very helpful and informative, especially Nicki, the manager. Use of local spa facilities, after a very hard walk up Skiddaw in the snow,... More

If the weather is fine sit out in the garden and have a drink before going in for a meal. The food is well cooked with local specials. Go for the lamb. The whole hotel has a special feel to it and the staff are polite and helpful without being obsequious. There is a small Iron Age fort across the... More
