Pub food, local ales and fell views
Enjoy a relaxed meal and a drink after a day outdoors. The pub serves evening meals daily and lunches at weekends, with local ales and outdoor seating for fine weather.
Book ahead for dinner and check current service times and menus with the inn. Discuss allergies and dietary needs when reserving a table. Dogs are welcome in the pub, although they cannot stay in the B&B bedrooms.
The separate Sykeside bunkhouse
Sykeside also offers nine bunkrooms sleeping between two and six people. These are a separate, simpler option from the inn’s B&B bedrooms, with their own toilet and basin and shared campsite showers.
Bring sleeping bags, pillows, towels and your own cooking equipment, crockery and cutlery. A covered cooking area and communal kitchen appliances are available. Dogs are welcome by the site’s rules.
