All in all i would highly recommend this little gem of a place to any passers by, it's literally 2 minutes off of the M74, if you do decide to stop in you certainly wont regret it! This is now in my notes and I'll be nipping in for sure next time I'm passing! NOTE; we did not stay the night in a room however if they are anything compared to the rest of the inn then they will be excellent!

Going camping in the Lake District eh! Sounds very scenic and a wonderful way to spend a weekend…read more.. that is unless you have to work! With a lack of phone and therefore 3G connection at our campsite I ventured on-line before leaving London to try and find somewhere to plug in and upload. I came across the Red Lion - whom it appeared was not only the drop off point for our campsite, but also provide a free Wifi service for those in desperate need to connect to civilisation! Walking into the pub I was greater by the owner, whom after asking him if he had a power socket, suggested instantly that I must be the London Lass that needed to use the Wifi! I was impressed that he remembered me as I'd called quite a few days before. The Red Lion itself feels very rural and rough around the edges, but the staff are extremely friendly, the food isn't half bad (although not gourmet, definitely much better than a camp stove offering), and surprisingly they have a fantastic selection of beers. I would highly recommend the Dizzy Blond if it's on and the Liefmans was also a refreshing choice. But what surprised me the most is they had drinks that I hadn't even heard of in craft bars within London. This included a passion fruit Regardless Cider. Spending quite a few hours away from the campsite at the Red Lion, I also got to know the staff quite well, they were very approachable and very friendly. If you're in the area, do give this place a go, they have a little beer garden out of the back for summer days, and car/bike packing for those not walking.

Relax here, the staff is ready to make this luxury even better with whatever you need! Directions to many local hikes or hot coffee on the picnic tables. So much fun to have, there are gardens, strolls, patios and quiet libraries too. This is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed because I can get some rest, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. Yesterday there was a local marathon- yes!- great runners charged past into the local town of Ambleside. Hikers and dog lovers are here too.

Brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks are served at the Drunken Duck, and I'd only really recommend booking for dinner. The beer and cider are mostly local I believe. We did the curry bowl to share (vegetarian and VERY tasty - kind of wish I could get the recipe), scampi, fries, and tartare sauce (those fries are to die for!) and the lamb kofta, hummus, flatbread, and mint yoghurt (great for sharing and noshing). There's plenty of parking on the side of the inn. The inside is decorated beautifully (very insta-worthy), so maybe consider renting out for an event. And yes, you can bring your dog to dinner/drinks.

We only wanted a quick snack to keep us going. This resteraunt is huge! It's right on the waterfront and there's an outdoor eating area& a bar too. There's also accommodation here too. So ..the menu was pretty extensive ranging from all day breakfasts, traditional dishes , international meals &a blackboard with specials. They also cater well for children . We decided to have a snack, a bacon roll and sausage roll which were just busting with sausage&bacon! We also had a portion of chips, we were going to have a portion each ,but the waitress warned us they were large (kind of her) so decided just to go for the one.And a large pot of tea. It all came to £11 ,which we thought was good value. The service was fast and waitress polite. We came here low season and was quite quiet. You can imagine this place buzzing in the summer. Next time we're down this way we'll definitely pop in for dinner.

The village was created by Danish Vikings as a fishing and trading port and the area developed into a Emigrant port. John Paul Jones (founder of the American Navy) himself was a local lad and sailed from here. Prisoners were also sent to Australia from this port. There is little left of the pier which once graced the shores but if you listen carefully, you can still hear the smuggler moving their illegal wares!
