The Fox and Pheasant Inn

 

Armathwaite, Cumbria CA4 9PY

Tel: 01697 472400

Described by host Steven Thorpe as the `Eden Valley's Hidden Gem', the Fox & Pheasant stands close to the River Eden just ten minutes from the M6 (J41 or 42) and halfway between Penrith and Carlisle. It started life in the 16th century as a coaching inn and was later extended with the addition of a former shooting and fishing lodge. In converted stables, the Stable Bar, with exposed stone, wooden beams, sandstone floors and log fires, is a great place to sample Steven's selection of between four and six real ales.

The main bar is a popular local meeting place, and in the Victorian Restaurant and Eden Lounge residents and visitors can relax and enjoy a superb meal based as far as possible on local produce. Guest accommodation is available in individually furnished bedrooms, combining period features and up-to-date amenities; they include a quaint attic room overlooking the river. Fishing can be arranged for residents, and the pub is also conveniently placed for shooting parties.
