Travellers' Choice
Built in 1688 this traditional Lakeland Inn with its slate flagged floors, beamed ceilings and open fire retains all the character you would expect from this popular village pub. Situated at the foot of Blencathra in the beautiful village of Threlkeld with views towards Skiddaw & Helvellyn this really is the place relax and enjoy the beauty of the Northern Lake district. The Horse & Farrier is committed to serving food and drink of excellent quality amidst informal surroundings. We have an excellent reputation in the Lake district for serving home cooked Fayre either in our intimate restaurant or cosy bar. Our menus are interesting and varied with vegetarians well catered for. We have two pubs in the village which cater for every occasion,two cottages and 14 well appointed bedrooms. Jooles & the team look forward to welcoming you to The Horse & Farrier & The Salutation Inn.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We came here after waking from keswick to threlkeld. We stopped for lunch and I had the Greek salad, we enjoyed it that much we booked again for dinner. The tomato soup for starter and the lamb shoulder was gorgeous, just a shame I couldn’t finish it! Will definitely be back when we visit again in the future maybe even staying at the pubs b&b.

Called in for the first time today. Friendly place very well run. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was amazing and service was quick. Would highly recommend a visit. Ideal place to start the walk into Keswick on the old railway line.

Dinner and service was great. We chose wisely as dinner on another night wasn’t great. We went for the specials at H&F inn. Comfortable rooms however the pillows are really old and need replacing. Shower was great. Good breakfast and service.

We enjoyed our stay. We were in one of the suites. Very comfortable. If you are much over 5 ft tall, mind your head. There are several low areas throughout the inn. Several doors are less than six feet in height. The staff was nice. They were able to seat us for dinner shortly after we arrived. Our waiter was a very interesting old fella. And the food was very good. Breakfast was also good. In our room, it was ample sized. Queen size bed on one side of the suite and a loveseat/foldout bed on the other side. TV's on both sides. Plenty of USB outlets. The Bathroom had a tub and separate shower. The shower had both a rain head and a hand held shower wand. It was a little tight in the shower stall. Hot water arrived quickly and stayed hot. We would stay here again.

We stayed here for 2 nights on a cycling holiday. Excellent in all respects. After the first day's cycling we were wet from the rain. A helpful young man behind the bar put his coat on to take us to the lock up where bikes were stored. The 2 radiators and towel rail were fine for drying our clothes. Food is excellent, hearty portions. There were 12 of us, but everyone's food arrived at the same time. There were never any problems with ordering or paying. The sort of service we don't see very often nowadays.

The only good thing was the shower, plenty of hot water and nice thick towels I was travelling with my elderly mother who wanted to revisit the area, I was told the kingsize room was bigger than a twin room hence the price. Well if you are reading this you have been warned! Do not be misled! We had to climb over the bed to close the blind 1 chair between the 2 of us which was lodged between the end of the bed and the table 2 coat hangers No room to put an overnight bag I could go on

We stayed in the Horse and Farrier's sister establishment, the Salutation Inn across the road in Threlkeld. Our room was old and quirky with sloping floors, but newly decorated and refurbished with a comfortable super kingsize bed and large TV. There were a couple of very steep steps from the pavement down to the entrance which makes it unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. We had our dinner and breakfast at the Horse and Farrier and both meals were excellent with good service. Overall I would recommend the Horse and Farrier and Salutation Inn.

Love this place. I’ve stayed before when running round the mountains. This time was brilliant. The staff running the bar were so lovely. They couldn’t do enough for me. So helpful. Wish I didn’t have to go to bed so early for running next day! Thank you 😊

Stayed at a holiday cottage just up the road so this was perfectly located just a short walk away. Stunning pub with an amazing beer garden. Friendly staff who could not do enough to help. Great menu with plenty of choice. Enjoyed three evening meals here and could not fault a single one of them Would highly recommend. Thank you
