The general quality of the facilities is, of course, what you should expect from an AA 4-Star Inn. We offer a number of touches, though, which give our guests something special... these include the genuine warmth of our welcome and service, whether staying for a drink, a meal or overnight.

We are open 7 days a week all year round for food, drink & accommodation.

The suites can be combined with superior rooms upstairs to form spacious apartments, ideal for families and small groups.

We can offer activity options, a secure cycle shed and a wealth of local knowledge to guests as well as very flexible conference facilities to small business groups.

What makes us really special , however, is the 'accessibility' of our food. We offer top quality food without the 'fuss' sometimes associated with it. And, perhaps uniquely, guests can enjoy the same food in the bar, in the lounge or on the terrace as in the dining room; you can be as relaxed or as formal as you choose. Our excellent, well-chosen range of wines and local beers complement the menu perfectly and our bar, with its local character and open fire (and dart board) is there for you to relax in even more. Of course, locally supplied food features very strongly in our carefully chosen menus and it's all cooked to order on the premises by our own chefs.

Quality food without the fuss, offering fine dining to all and promoting a very positive image of Cumbria & Cumbrian food - that's the Brackenrigg.
