Fabulous weekend away with our dog at The Brown Horse. The staff here are fabulous. From check in to check out efficient and friendly. Praise must go to the restaurant and bar staff for just being so professional and friendly. The chef here knows how to cook with a spin on pub classics. Highly recommended.

We’ve never been to this area of Cumbria. We normally stay around towns. The Inn is very rural but it is easy to get to Bowness on Windermere by car. Our room was lovey and clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great, the views were amazing and the staff were friendly and polite.

Great base for Windermere outings
What a find! Beautiful rural location just outside the Bowness business & within an easy drive of west Windermere. Our room was beautifully decorated & spotlessly clean. The food at the pub was excellent & the service friendly but unobtrusive. The only downside for us was that although the outside room with patio was dog friendly there was nowhere on site to safely let our dog off lead. Otherwise we would definitely be back to stay again.

Excellent service and good food (we only had breakfast), and quite nice, modern style accommodation in their independent "pods". About 10 minutes drive from Bowness Pier, which is easy if you have a car. If not, you have to call a taxi; there is no bus stop or train station in a walkable distance. This can be a challenge during peak hours, with long waits so you have to plan your day well and call in advance.

Worth the stay
Great staff and hotel. Rooms were clean and and bathrooms looked new. Road noise is quite loud and you can get some smokers outside the pub causing fumes to flow into your room which is not a fault of the hotel.
