We stayed at the Horse and Farrier the night before our hike up Scafell Pike, it's only a 25 minute drive to Seathwaite Parking, if you're going up the corridor route. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. the food was lovely and the room we stayed in was clean, well presented and comfy. Definitely recommend eating nd staying here!

The Farrier Inn is a well run and customer focussed establishment. Dave runs a tight ship but with a very light touch. The staff were all very attentive and keen to please. The room was a decent size with comfortable beds … and the rainforest shower was a great tonic to wash away the day. I will certainly stay there again!

Andrew

I would not stay there again, I was very disappointed to see how dirty the kitchen was. The dustbin lids looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned for a while as the was still food around the bin. We ate at there other restaurant when we arrived the food wasn’t up to the standard I thought it would of been the starter and main meal my wife had were both dry and the fish and chips I had was very disappointing. We went down for breakfast the next morning and it was very poor no flavor to the bacon eggs not cooked properly, coffee was very poor and didn’t even taste like coffee. We end up cutting our trip short due to all of these issues and left after 1 night due still seeing the state of the kitchen the next morning.
