First licensed as a coaching inn in 1735, this is a typical Lakeland hotel in superb setting. Ideal base for exploring Buttermere and Crummock Water fells. The Bridge Inn is the pub behind and adjoined to the Bridge Hotel, and has three different bars and a popular outside seating area, where the views are excellent. Four changing ales from a variety of Cumbrian breweries. Usually closed for refurbishment for most of January
