We stayed two nights at the Strawberry Bank Masons Arms. The location is to die for and most rooms face the great valley. On a clear day, you can see forever. The location was extremely difficult for us to find even with GPS and just when you think you are totally lost you come up on the Inn. We did... More

My partner booked us in for a meal here for our anniversary after hearing great things about the food. As we live approximatley 30/40 minutes away he would ot have been able to drink as he would have had to drive us home, so I booked us in the Cartmel Fel Suite as a surprise for him. I also arranged... More

We called in on our way up to windemere for lunch. I enquired at the Bar if they STILL allowed dogs in the bar area as we had taken our two dogs in previously. The expression on the womans face was a picture You would have thought I had insulted her. Certainly not she said so we left. Get yourselves... More

This used to be one of the best pubs in the area. The food was dependably good and reasonably priced. OK, they always went up in the summer when the grockles are about. However, this summer's food was dreadful and very expensive. I would be surprised if anyone went twice. The end of the year was little better, we had... More

Having read the reviews we had high expectations which were exceeded on every level. The rooms were fantastic. We stayed in the Cartmel Fell suite and loved the kitchen and lounge area as well as the huge bed and the views across the fell. All very tastefully decorated and well maintained. The food was excellent especially the duck starter. All... More

A lovely pub, with fantastic views. We ordered drinks at the bar a pint of guiness and a coke, the coke was fine, but please don't pull a pint of guiness in one, it has to be poured in two parts, this can take two to three minutes, no rush. If it's not poured like this, it doesn't taste right.... More
