Welcoming, friendly staff. Dogs allowed (on lead). Lovely food at a reasonable price - and a free sausage for pooch. Must return to sample one of the many delishious desserts since the mains were enough to fuel us for the remaining miles of our walk.

We stayed for one night at the Swinside Inn to attend a cycling event at the nearby Newlands Activity Centre - choice was very much based on the location being a short walk from the centre.

We visited the Swinside inn one lunchtime in the middle of quite a long walk. We loved the pub and its very friendly staff.

Good rooms in a traditional lakeland inn with lovely views. Food was good,plentiful and reasonably priced. The inn itself has plenty of character including low beams and open fires and is a very popular place to eat and drink, resulting in a great atmosphere. Staff were helpful, efficient and friendly. All in all an excellent alternative to staying in 'town'.

The evening meal was fairly basic and fitting for a countryside Inn it was tasty with good size portions,... More

We have just spent a 2 night stay, 6 of us with 4 dogs. Breathtaking position in the Newlands Valley. Walks in the area are lovely and the easily accessible. The food was good and the portions pretty large, very reasonable prices. We hope to be back soon.

After long walks on the fells in the cold wind and rain, this was a lovely warm welcoming pub with a beautiful selection of ales and open fire. Very clean and tidy and dog friendly too, very nice indeed.
