Our pub is a cleverly restored Grade II building dating from the 15th Century that once operated as a fulling mill – hence our quirky name ‘The Flying Fleece’ which links to the heritage of our unique Lakeland building.

The working weir, millrace, wheel and various pieces of machinery are carefully retained and can still be admired.

There appears many venues on the Flying Fleece. This the pub close to the stream and national trust House. Welcoming service and pleasant atmosphere. We had two hot freshly brie, bacon and cranberry roll with side salad, crisps and coleslaw. Very tasty and went down drinks. Good place to rest and next walk.

Really enjoyable pub food. The kids had very very generous portions and were entertained with colouring in. Lovely views over the river from where we were sitting. It was really busy when we were there but not noisy which was great. Lovely atmosphere

What a pleasant surprise, good food and plenty if it, and it was reasonably priced. What more can you ask for. We sat outside and when the sun went down and it got a little chilly we realised each table had its own heater that you can turn on an off as you wish

Nice Pub atmosphere. Service friendly. We had mussels which were OK. Main course Fish and chips very good and a leg of lamb which was very tender and enjoyable.

Had no cheese on day we visited to make a sandwich (Really? Cheese?) Then ordered a roast beef sandwich and was brought a roast beef dinner. Food was ok bar that and loved the locale. Wouldn't stop us visiting again in the hope they were just having an off day.
