"A regular in the Good Beer Guide and deservedly so after having a pint of the Loweswater Gold. The main bar and the outdoor seating are both full even though it’s early doors so we’re in the Gaming Zone at the back. Got to be seen to be believed 👍🏻"
Mark Nicholson
"Very nice beers, great atmosphere. Lovely sun trap garden area and quiet back room.
Barman couldn’t have been more accommodating. I think he was also the owner really nice chap.
I would definitely go back again, Perfect end to the Ingleton walk to fall walk"
Michael Good

Even if you aren’t going on the waterfall hike.
In fact it’s the place to be if you are waiting for friends to finish the hike! Hahah"
