The Pheasant is a charming old Coaching Inn situated close to Bassenthwaite Lake at the unspoilt, northern end of the Lake District. It is one of the last remaining traditional Cumbrian hostelries with its unique period atmosphere, sense of timelessness and peaceful location. The Pheasant enjoys a well deserved national reputation amongst those who are used to being well cared for in a traditional manner.
The history of The Pheasant stretches back over 500 years. Originally a farm house, it was converted in more recent years (1778) to a popular Alehouse. One of its 19th century regulars was the famous huntsman John Peel. He would often celebrate and recount his exploits in the tap room of The Pheasant now the hotel bar.
You cannot escape the sense of being surrounded by history the moment you walk in the door.

We stayed for 2 nights whilst attending a wedding in the Lake District. We arrived weary from a 3 hour trek from Yorkshire in busy Friday evening traffic. The Service was friendly and extremly helpful. Within 30 minutes of arriving we were sitting infront of a roaring log fire sipping our pre dinner drinks, bliss, instant relaxation! Food was served in the elegant dining room, a superb four course menu. My husband thought his pork dish was possibly one of the best he has ever had and my scallops and black pudding were sublime. The Assistant Manager was extremly informative and attentive and talked us through his superb cheese selection. Breakfast was equally impressive. The bedroom was very comfortable and fluffy robes and Molton Brown toiletries all added to the feeling of luxury and relaxation. Can't wait to visit again!

The hotel is well signposted off the A66 and ideally located for Keswick and Cockermouth. Food is excellent , the breakfast being one of the best I have had. Bedrooms are very clean and comfortable. The bar area does tend to get a bit crowded but the residents lounge area is extremely comfortable with open log fire. The wine list is quite wide ranging and well priced. Overall, a very pleasant weekend.
