The Crown Country Inn - South Lakeland

This restaurant is cold and smelly, in need of a thorough cleaning and update. The staff could also use some improvement. This was the worst restaurant we visited in the Lakes area. We couldn't bear to stay for a second night, yet were still charged.

This restaurant is an absolute mess. It desperately needs a deep clean and new carpets to get rid of the unpleasant smell. There was a broken window in my room, which is dangerous especially with my 11-year-old daughter there. The toilet wouldn't flush and we arrived to a freezing cold pub. We had to ask for the heating to be turned on. The food was overpriced and there was no atmosphere in the pub either. We had booked for 2 nights but ended up leaving after just one because it was so bad in multiple ways. I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs. The unhelpful staff refused to reimburse us for the second evening and still took payment.

I had been wanting to visit this pub for a while, so we stopped in for Sunday lunch. We didn't mind that it was a bit quiet because it meant we got the best seats in the house right by the roaring open fire. The food was excellent and plentiful, and the landlord, David, took good care of us. A village pub definitely worth visiting.

Lovely place, friendly staff and gorgeous food, just stayed here for the weekend.
