Who are we?

We’re a family run traditional country pub, nestled at the foot of the Pennines in the picturesque village of Langwathby, which sits next to the river Eden, just a stone’s throw away from the town of Penrith, which is known as the gateway to the Lake District. Here you’ll find all the staples of British pub food, as well as internationally inspired specials. We have an ever-changing selection of local beers & ales, celebrating the best of British. We’re proud to be one of the best places to eat around Penrith.

We’re the perfect stop off after a long journey, just a 10 minute drive from Penrith Train Station and the M6 motorway. Just get off at Junction 40 and follow signs for the North Pennines & the Eden Valley.

We are also located and listed as an official stop on the famous Coast to Coast (C2C) cycle route, which stretches from the West to East coast of the UK. We’re a popular stopping off point for many cyclists and walkers alike. We also offer secure cycle storage for those wishing to spend the night.

We always give the best room prices when you book direct
