Food Scene

Great pub 2 mins away from the flat. It is great on a rainy day if you fancy sitting in front of the fire with a glass of wine. It also has the best beer garden during the summer. It stays sunny until the sunset. You will definitely see us in there during in the summer.

Our favourite place to eat in the Lakes. It's all veggy food but don't be put off. Portions are amazing and the coffee is super good too. They also have a lovely shop there too. Perfect if you need to pick up any gifts for your family and friends.
