Its a lovely place, full of history and unspoilt, quiet and relaxing. The food is delious.The hosts are warm and genuine. They love doggies, and are very helpful relating to walks, which surround the village. Beatrix Potter knew what she was doing when she settled their at Near Sawry for the rest of her life. Our bedroom was just right... More

We had a splendid bank holiday weekend stay for our 10th Wedding anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome, and although the lunch time menu had stopped serving at 2pm, we were still offered a bowl of homemade soup and a roll, which was delicious and was most appreciated, especially as we had a prime spot...

We had a one night break travelling on the way from Manchester to Newcastle, we arrived after a horrendous drive through wind, rain and flooded roads. We welcomed by a lovely warm bar with blazing fire and a warm welcome from the bar staff. We were shown to our room which by comparison to the BAr was cold, small and... More

Really top notch, Inn. Friendly and completely faultless. I stayed here with my girlfriend for two nights in the lakes, it was our first time and will not be our last. The bar area is great and the food especially the breakfasts for fantastic. If yo like small friendly places with homely feel then this should be top of your... More

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The owner/manager is an extremely hospitable guy (and a great breakfast cook!), the rooms were lovely, the bar is superb, the evening meal and wine was faultless and the selection of local beers was spot on. All in a wonderful location. We fly fished Moss Eccles Tarn for free thanks to the pub... More

Called in here for a drink after a day on the fells, & stayed for dinner too. A real pub with real beer and a real fire, we could have stayed all night! The beef stew and lamb shoulder were perfectly cooked and the portions generous. Just what we needed after a days of exercise & fresh air. Friendly staff... More

Stayed here for a three night break at beginning of February. We had a delayed start due to heavy snow, but the 6 hour journey was so worth it! Lake District in the snow is so very beautiful. This was our third stay at the Tower Bank Arms, and we cannot fault it. This time we stayed in the biggest... More
