Stay with us at the Bridge Hotel and you will share in a long and fascinating history. Set between Buttermere and Crummock Water and surrounded by the famous Buttermere Fells, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the hotel is on a site which has been occupied for 1000 years.

It has been owned and managed by the McGuire family for over 30 years and is renowned for warm hospitality, comfort and personal service, which is complimented by excellent local and international cuisine.

The hotel has 21 individually designed bedrooms, all of which have superb en-suite facilities, are well furnished and constantly upgraded.

All rooms direct dial telephone with data sockets. Televisions and radios are not provided because of poor local reception due to the surrounding fells – the majority of our guests consider this a distinct advantage!

The dining room is one of the oldest in the hotel, and is furnished to a high standard. An evening meal, with a number of choices, is changed daily. There is also a choice of over sixty wines carefully selected to complement your meal.

As an indication of the style of meal you can expect to enjoy in our dining room  see a sample menu here. Please note that the menu is change daily and only consists of the finest fresh produce, much of it local.

The bars are full of character serving excellent food and a comprehensive range of hot beverages. We specialise in real ales such as Yates Bitter, Black Sheep and Jennings Cumberland Ale, which are expertly kept.

We offer a homemade selection of traditional English bar meals, including local dishes. A specials board, changed daily, is also available together with a variety of vegetarian options.

Dogs are welcome in the Walkers Bar and on the outside patio area.

The bars serve food from 12noon until 9.30pm.
 
The private residential lounge area is used for morning coffee, luxury cream teas and pre-dinner drinks. Whether it is discussing the days events, reading the paper or looking forward in anticipation to the evening meal, you can relax in the company of others or in a private nook and enjoy the ambience, whatever the occasion. We offer free Wi-Fi to our guests in the lounge or Reception area.
