The Pheasant Inn

This is a really lovely hotel in a lovely part of the lakes. It's set a little out from the usual tourist hubs so it you can really enjoy the peace and quiet. The rooms are quite 'oldie worldie' but in a comfortable, not tired, way. The real winning point is the bar though, they've got a few local ales on tap and must be pushing 50 whisky's. The restaurant food is nice and the bar food is just what you need if you've been up a mountain that day... the breakfasts are cracking too and they'll do you a packed lunch (and there's homemade shortbread's in the room each day which is wonderful). Only negative point is they don't have conditioner or body lotion in the bathrooms. I know they've switched to larger shampoos and soaps for ecological reasons (high five for that) but t this price they should still provide conditioner and body lotion, would be happy with larger bottles of this too. Staff are excellent and there's usually a good bunch of locals in the bar in the evenings who love a chat, overall would recommend.

Staff could not have been more helpful. The building was picturesque and set in a nice quiet location away from the main roads. The food in the Bistro was ok and reasonably priced. The bedroom décor was ok, slightly tired, the bed very comfortable, but the bathroom curtain linings had gone mouldy with the humidity.

Great food

Exceptional food, friendly and attentive staff

Lovely hotel and great location . Our room decoration needed attention Stayed here in April 2015 for my sons wedding and had the same room. Needed redecoration then and doesn't appear to have been touched. The hospitality and food were excellent
