The Bridge Inn  

In the mountains of Holmrook — a cosy country inn base for fell walkers. Minutes from Gosforth Library and The Square, and close to Scafell Pike, Wastwater and Hallsenna Moor National Nature Reserve. Pet-friendly and with free self-parking, it’s easy for dog owners and road-trippers to roll in.

An award-winning, historically rich inn that began life as a mail coach halt. Sixteen individually decorated rooms feature flat-screen TVs and DVD players. Expect log fires, real ales and a peaceful valley vibe — proper Lakeland comfort for tired walkers or anyone after a warm welcome.

Dine or drink at the on-site bar and restaurant, relax on the terrace with fell views, and wake up to complimentary full breakfast. Rooms offer baths or showers, hair dryers and tea/coffee makers. Complimentary Wi-Fi, free self-parking and dogs-welcome policies make stays simple and hassle-free.

A computer station and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Wedding services are available for special events.

The Dalesman Bar specialises in local cuisine and 'real' food with classic ales on tap. A complimentary full breakfast is served each morning, and room service is available for laid-back nights in.
