The award-winning Bridge Inn is set in the picturesque valley of Wasdale in the Western Lake District. It offers real ales, home-cooked food and is 15 minutes from Scarfell Pike, England’s highest mountain.

We really enjoyed our stay and the breakfasts and evening meals were amazing! You also get a table reserved for you every evening for dinner which was a nice touch. The rooms are comfortable and were always warm and towels and tea, coffee, hot chocolate replenished every day. This is an ideal place for Scafell pike walks. Definitely would stay here again.

    Location was as described & an excellent get-away. Great terrace overlooking a huge lawn. Everything needed for a self catering stay but with two good pub-restaurants within easy walking distance. The Boot-Inn particularly good food. Great walks all around, no need to drive anywhere.

    Very welcoming staff and lovely ambiance. This is my second Xmas day/Boxing Day I’ve stayed. Also had Xmas dinner in the restaurant with my two daughters. Hard to think of a better way to spend Xmas.

    Idyllic location with historic and rustic buildings. Pastures with sheep grazing adjoined the accommodation. The on-site, historic pub, where we had a tasty dinner and an equally good breakfast, was charming and comfortable. Adjacent to the pub there was also an extensive outdoor seating area on a large lawn that we and others around us enjoyed, and where we enjoyed drinks from the pub.
