We always have at least 2 meals if not more at Middle Ruddings when we visit the Lakes and this time we took our firends to the place we've always raved on about!! What a mistake!! The menu was quite poor I dont know whether the chef has changed but i normally have a problem deciding because everything sounds so... More

We booked two rooms for two nights and were not disappointed, the welcome we received was wonderful from Rory. I was a little bit worried about taking the dog as she is a nervous border collie, on arrival I took her for a walk into village and came back very wet. I asked if it was ok to take her... More

Out of the two bars we visited in Braithwaite last weekend this one was the most pleasurable. A fine range of local hand pulled beers well kept. The bar man was most welcoming and the manager (and his partner) were able to recommend the best of the beers. CAMRA pub of the year well deserved. Then we found out about... More

The first imoressions were gathered when the owner contacted us to say that the room we had booked only had a bath and no shower facility, were we aware of that fact. My husband prefers a shower and we were offered... More

Last stay we had a much larger room so it is probably the luck of the draw. The room was clean and décor looked fresh. The staff were generally friendly and helpful.... More

We called in here one Sunday for lunch after friends told us it had recently been voted Camra's best pub in West Cumbria. We arrived at 12:50 and thought we might have trouble getting a table, it turned out the place was completely empty. The warning bells started to ring. There was a lot of young staff chatting behind reception,... More

We had this place recommended to us whilst staying in the area so we decided to give it a try on our last night. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive and provided great service. Everything we chose from the menu was fantastic, in particular a sausage, bacon, chicken and leek (on the menu as "pie of the week") which... More
