The Brown Horse Inn

Dog friendly pub. 5 min uber drive to bowness. Great food and drink. Lovely country pub

We had a fantastic one night stay here. Even in a short visit everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, with the roast and breakfast being real highlights. Both were cooked to perfection and clearly had high quality ingredients. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well maintained, with everything we needed. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thank you.

Room was really comfortable but it is noisy until around 11pm when restaurant closes. Food was excellent. Absolutely worth a visit. Staff really friendly.

Staff were brilliant, so kind and helpful. Really went the extra mile. Close proximity to amenties, such as windermere. Food was impeccable, we thoroughly enjoyed. Room very quirky and clean. We were placed next to the log burner for dinner, which staff kindly accomodated. Overall 9/10 Only marked down due to only having full fat milk available for breakfast, which we aren't able to drink so missed out on our coffee. We have rebooked already for summer.

Great location...Great Rooms...Great Food...Great Staff.. particularly Jake and Sam in the Bar/Restaurant

Fantastic stay. Lovely people. Incredible food.

All of the staff were absolutely amazing… friendly & very helpful. The room was nice & clean & spruced up daily. It was lovely & warm on our arrival too. The food in the pub was fabulous.

Great food

Absolutely fantastic! Came for a last minute adventure and absolutey adored this location. All the staff were friendly and helpful and our family room was perfect for us!

Lovely hotel ,good sized room ,very quiet ,excellent facilities. Great TV with extra chanels like netflix,YouTube, iplayer . Loved the outside bit ,even in winter it was nice to sit outside as the view was stunning. Plenty of tea/coffee and fresh biscuits every day . Huge clean towels ,very warm and cosy . Breakfast was amazing, loads of choice and delicious food . We had an evening meal on the first night which was also outstanding. The staff went out of their way to please you . The only issue we had is that there is no where comfortable to sit in the bar for a drink! I had envisaged log fires and cosy corners but it was only really dining tables , we had to go back to our room . It was also expensive for drinks , a baileys coffee was £11 ,which surprised me as a baileys was only £4 !!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again .

Great food and attentive service. Lovely weekend thank you!

Very attentive staff, lovely well presented rooms. Excellent food and drink.

Very friendly, and a good atmosphere, food excellent.

Lovely room and comfy bed. Only downside was that the room was a bit chilly on going to bed at 10:30

We stayed in one of pet friendly rooms which was lovely built on to the side of the pub and came with out door seating . We had our evening meal in the bar with our spaniel which was lovely .the staff were lovely and made us really welcome

Room was clean, plenty of parking, food excellent and staff very welcoming and friends. Shower room could do with a little tło, but nothing drastycznie.

Superb pub with rooms some of which are pet friendly. The bar area was open to dogs and we met quite a few well behaved pooches. The food is the same whether restaurant or bar and is excellent. The breakfasts are worthy of mention, eggs were delicious. Staff are lovely helpful and seem very happy in their work. They could not do enough for us. Excellent large car park with quick access to reception. Needless to say surrounded by beautiful scenery, Lakeland views and set in a quiet location . Brilliant short break.

Lovely stay but room 3 too close to kitchen area constant smell of seafood , I would definitely stay again but would request a different room , I have stayed before room 5 which was excellent, staff and service received were excellent , lovely area , would definitely recommend

What a great find in Winster. The Brown Horse Pub did not disappoint. We stayed in the external King room ( non pet) and it was lovely, clean and tidy with daily housekeeping. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of tea and coffee supplied with biscuits 😀. The private patio was a bonus with great views. The cooked breakfast was absolutely delicious and cooked fresh, with plenty of choices. Plus you also got continental breakfast additions of fruit, yogurt, cereal selection, juice, pastries that were warm , fresh bread for brown and white toast, lovely fresh coffee and tea. The main dinner menu had a great selection, and accommodated to all. We dinned in each night instead of going into Windermere, that’s how nice the food was. A good selection of beer and wines plus spirits in the bar . The staff, well they were all first class! Friendly, helpful and always smiling. What’s not to like about this pub, beautiful inside with wooded beams and comfortable seating. Outside with plenty of garden seating and the view was amazing. We will return here and we cannot recommend The Brown Horse Pub enough. Just a note : The pub is dog friendly and there are the woodland Pods at the rear of the Pub ( but we did not look at those) Stayed in External Room 7 from 22.09.2025 to 26.09.2025

I had a wonderful time. The staff is very lovely, respectful, and helpful. The food and room are amazing. I love the Victorian style of this place. I wished I were staying longer.
