Liked: Staff & service
Location was really great, perfect walk to elter water and grasmere.
A beautiful country inn located at the heart of the South lakes. The rooms are compact but well appointed and comfortable. The food (especially the breakfast) ‘hits the spot’ and the staff are brilliant. The spectacular Langdales are all around with no need to use the car - so just park up and enjoy.
We really enjoyed our stay we had been years ago
They made us welcome straight away
Lovely room comfy bed very clean
Great breakfast everything lovely and hot and cooked fresh
The parking made a big difference
Staff lovely definitely go back
Our room, 4, was directly above the bar and an awful din came up through the floor. It was very noisy and kept us awake when we went to bed before the bar closed. Then well after 11pm there was a series loud bangs as doors were slammed downstairs below us - made our room rattle and shake. Not pleasant.
Accommodation was excellent.
Staff were friendly, helpful and hardworking. Wonderful stay in lovely warm and welcoming surroundings. Excellent menu and great local beers.
Beautiful area with shorter low level walks around Elterwater as well as longer and higher walks. Loughrigg Tarn is stunning. Ambleside is just 4 miles away but it feels like a world away. Langdale has amazing views from the bottom at Blea Tarn and from the top. The Britannia Inn offers rooms with lots of character and excellent food, usually eaten outside with a view depending on the weather. The staff are helpful, friendly and relaxed. We had a wonderful 3 night escape here. Thoroughly recommended.
