Before you don your hiking boots and wet weather clothing for a nine mile walk to the Masons arms double check that they know their serving times as I phoned and was informed that they SERVED ALL DAY EVERYDAY. Given the fact that my husband is diabetic we had scheduled lunch at the masons arms into our walk only to... More

Years ago this used to be one of the outstanding Lakeland pubs. Excellent beers, including their own brews and quirky, imaginative food. It's still a great pub with good beers and food but now a more straightforward good, solid pub. The quirkiness has gone. Definitely still worth a visit and the location is stunning. A note for dog owners and... More

Visited the Masons Arms for lunch as the Lake District was living up to its reputation for less than desirable weather and we fancied a day off the hills. A good choice! The first thing we saw as we went in was an open fire. Most welcoming, as were the staff. There was plenty of choice on the menu (unlike... More

After a day hiking the fells this delivered brilliant fare. My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our food. The service was great, although there was a short wait for it to come (which just proves it was freshly cooked). Can't recommend enough.

Had heard a lot about The Masons and we were not disappointed. Did not stay but arrived at lunchtime midweek and already starting to get busy. Can see why this traditional Lakeland pub gets busy and people have to wait to get served especially at weekends and in the summer months. Plenty of atmosphere and log fires burning in the... More

Just stayed the one night for my birthday. A lovely day with my beautiful wife not a cloud in the sky we headed to the Mason's. We had a brief walk up Gummers Howe which is only five minutes drive from the Mason's, the views were amazing of the fells and Morecambe Bay(you could see as far as Blackpool). On... More

Decide to stop off and have some lunch here as it was a central point to meet some family. There were 6 of us in total and decided to sit in the bar area. Nice warm and open fire and good beers on tap so a nice welcomer on a rainy December afternoon. We ordered lunch and there were a... More
