The Pheasant

Fodor's Review:

Halfway between Cockermouth and Keswick, this traditional 17th-century coaching inn exudes English coziness without the usual Lakeland fussiness. The tasteful, modern bedrooms have soft but comfortable beds and tiled bathrooms with large tubs, and they overlook a garden and 60 acres of forest. You can request a TV. A wood-beamed restaurant (£££-££££) serves superb English fare such as venison with mushrooms and shallots, as well as afternoon tea. Varnished walls, oak settles, and a smattering of locals enjoying the fine Jennings ale set the mood in the popular bar.
