We stayed here for a couple of nights for a mini holiday and to climb scaffel pike. Karen is sweet and a superwoman working on her own on the first night we were there. She kept on telling us to take care when we climb the mountain as it can be really dangerous. Breakfast was nice and the lady cleaner... More

Just spent 2days here as part of a holiday by train. The location is perfect with a station right in the village and walking distance to Holker Hall. Everyone in the hotel was very friendly and willing to offer us advice on our travels. Food was excellent and we ate in the bar both nights with delicious food and drink.... More

We booked to stay here for a couple of nights and then read some of the less positive reviews and were wondering what we would find when we got there. We need not have worried. From the minute we arrived to the moment we left we were made to feel very welcome. Our room was big enough for our needs... More

The Engine Inn, 4 stars they could be “stars in your eyes” certainly not the stars you would expect for an Inn/Hotel!!! It started as soon as we arrived, some people on Trip Advisor say they are welcoming we would say that the owners are rude, butting into conversations, when we first arrived the lounge was empty, the landlady even...

After visiting local attractions myself and my family wanted to find a nice country pub for lunch. We're originally from Barrow and have all come back North to spend Easter together. The pub from the outside looks nice although parking is extremely limited - had there not been one (of 2) spaces outside I don't really know where you would... More

We've just returned from a weekend stay at the engine pub and what a great weekend we had. I don't normally write reviews but I enjoyed it so much I feel compelled to do so. It's not the perfect pub, it's a little rough around the edges but I like that, it gives the place some character. The en-suite room... More
