Gosforth Hall is located on the western edge
of the Lake District National park, close to
Wastwater (the deepest Lake in England) and Scafell Pike
(the highest mountain in England). Built back in
1658, the year of Oliver Cromwell's death, the Grade
II* listed building retains many of it's original
features, including the Coat of Arms dated back to 1673, located in the bar which CAMRA recently
voted West Cumbria Pub of the Season for Spring 2007 . The Hall stands next to St Mary's Church
with its famous Viking Cross and is an excellent base for
visiting the Eskdale Valley, Ravenglass, Muncaster
Castle and Whitehaven. Rod and Barbara Davies, who
took over the Hall in 2002, greet every guest as a friend,
and take great pride in the accommodation, food
and drink they provide at this superb place.
Their well-kept real ales, wide range of
drinks, including a fine wine cellar and choice of meals keep
the guests coming back time-and-time again. The restaurant
is open for evening meals seven nights a week, although
diners have the option of eating in the bar, lounge, restaurant or beer garden. The seasonally changing menu takes its inspiration
from home and abroad with dishes ranging from creamy garlic mushrooms, devilled kidneys &
black pudding, steaks and seasonal game to kleftiko, chicken fajitas and spinach & brie pancakes.
Barbara's signature dish, the chicken melt is a great favourite.
The nine beautifully appointed guest bedrooms include the superb Suite, which boats a
four-poster bed and a truly vast en suite bath.
The hotel is an ideal base for touring the unspoilt Western Lake area and discovering the
many scenic and historic delights of coast and countryside. Walking can be anything from a stroll by
the lake to tackling the 3-Peak challenge - or guests can just sit back and relax in a walled beer
garden where they might even catch a glimpse of
the resident Barn Owl.
