The Brown Horse Inn - A Georgian coaching inn with an award-winning restaurant and dog-friendly rooms in Winster Valley

The Brown Horse Inn, a Georgian coaching inn in the Winster Valley, features nine individually designed en-suite bedrooms with flat-screen TVs, solid oak beds, and luxury bathrooms. Four rooms have external entrances and private patios with views of the valley, two of which are dog-friendly. The largest accommodation is a family room with one king bed and one single bed, plus the option for an additional put-up bed. A continental breakfast is served each morning at The Brown Horse Inn. The on-site restaurant offers a seasonal, locally sourced menu, available in the dining area or the casual bar. The property includes a garden, terrace, and a children's playground. Located in the Lake District, it is 4 km from The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and 3 km from Brant Fell Viewpoint.

Pros

The award-winning restaurant serves seasonal, locally sourced dishes.

Four rooms feature private patios with scenic valley views.

Dog-friendly rooms are available, welcoming pets with an additional fee.

A family room accommodates up to three guests with the option for an extra child's bed.

Cons

Dog-friendly rooms incur an additional £15 nightly fee.

The family room is the only accommodation with a bathtub (shower over).

“This Winster inn proves a delightful find, where thoughtful service and a cozy pub atmosphere blend seamlessly. The updated rooms, some dog-friendly, offer comfort and views, while the chef elevates classic dishes. It's a relaxed base to explore the Lake District, with genuine warmth that makes it a standout.”
