We were staying at a cottage nearby and visited the Fellside Restaurant for a birthday celebration meal. We received a warm welcome and were served canapés in the lounge, while we viewed the menu. The restaurant was traditional and the meal we chose was well presented and a delight to eat. Would be expensive to eat everyday but as a... More

We stayed here for my uncle's 70th birthday. It is in a peaceful and secluded spot, with nice walks from the door and a great place to base your stay in the Lakes. The rooms are comfy and have all you could ask for, they are not luxurious, but then you're not paying luxury prices! The bar in the pub... More

I cannot recommend The Pheasant Inn highly enough. My Daughter booked my Husband and I for a surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary gift as we had honeymooned in the Lakes at a Hotel on Lake Ullswater. We were warmly welcomed in to the reception area then taken to one of the Superior rooms I think was named Calderbeck. Each room has... More

We stayed the night in this lovely old inn during a four night "fine dining" walking tour in the Lake District. This was a really comfortable, cosy and intimate place to stay with great service and lovely food. We stayed in one of the superior rooms which had a fantstic four poster bed and was very comfortable with lots of... More

My wife and I sometimes call in the Pheasant for a drink and find the small bar very quaint with its lack of modernity and beer served in pint pots rather than straight glasses. The ales - local beers - are usually well kept but the sparklers on the hand pulls need to be adjusted as the pints are served... More

Great hotel with plenty of character and fantastic food. Fabulous place to visit for a nice relaxing weekend and close to areas around the lake. Staff were friendly and attentive and were on hand to help at all times. The bar is cosy and you feel you are in a local due to the friendliness of the clientele. We will... More

We visited the Pheasant Inn recently when in the area to celebrate my birthday, unfortunately we stayed at Armathwaite Hall which was not such a delightful experience, (separate review posted,) really wished we had stayed here.. We used to live just down the road in Cockermouth in the 1980's and this used to be a favourite place to visit on... More

We had a wonderful stay over the weekend at The Pheasant. Originally booking in for 1 night, we loved it so much, we stayed for 3! Check out the Spring Break offers. We stayed in a superior room as an upgrade which was kindly offered to us by the owner. The food in the Fell is excellent, although we ate... More

We only booked the Pheasant a few days before our trip, never having been there before. The hotel/inn is extremely comfortable, great open fires, comfy lounges, and excellent food (both bistro and restaurant). The staff were excellent, very helpful and informative, especially Nicki, the manager. Use of local spa facilities, after a very hard walk up Skiddaw in the snow,... More
