"Worth the long and winding roads to get there."
Stayed over after seeing my nephew who is studying at university in carlisle. This beautiful little Inn took some finding but thanks to my SatNav we got there eventually. A warm welcome awaited us. The bedroom was lovely as was the bar. Beautiful log fire pumping the heat out. The food was gorgeous. You have to try the home cooked chips. The breakfast was beautiful and filled me up for my long drive back to Huddersfield. Read less
