Shepherds Inn

Called in when passing for a spot of lunch. Food and service really good. Good selection of draught and bottles. Will definitely call again when in the area.

Very good room, great food, friendly bar, and they happily locked up our bikes. Thoroughly recommended.

Beautiful location, Lovely food all cook fresh, Staff very helpful and friendly would to friends .

Lovely pub in a beautiful village. Opposite the village green with outside seating and a small play area for children. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. We ate our evening meal in the pub and it was delicious. Breakfast was excellent- good quality bacon and sausage. I can highly recommend it.

Lovely roadside inn with gluten free beer on tap and really helpful staff. We turned up on spec and although they were fully booked for later, they managed to squeeze us in.

My coeliac husband was delighted to find that they had gluten free ales on a hand-pump and the food portions were very generous with well-cooked, fresh vegetables. My daughter's only complaint was that her 'small plate' was too big for her to manage!

I would recommend booking ahead and going with the small plates option if your appetite isn't large.

You have to try the whale and chips. The batter was so crispy, fish very tasty, hand cut chips, mushy peas what more would you want.
Lovely fire helpful staff extremely comfortable and enjoyable lunch time meeting with friends.
Get there early, quickly filled up with customers!

Located just outside of Penrith, this pub has a good menu, great food (watch out for the Wathby Whale!) and lovely people running and serving in it. What more can I say? Oh yes! The ambience is relaxing and car parking pretty good! Highly recommended!

What a great bar on the green and friendly service. We sat ourselves down outside in the dark and had a few pints. It was brilliant. We never saw the rooms but wouldn't doubt they'd be superb. If this is typical village pub then village life is good outside Penrith. Thanks for having us and see you next year.

Very welcoming staff and epic, hearty food. We love this pub as a lunch stop between Corbridge and Manchester.

Good food and brilliant place to have a drink outside in the summer. Food not the cheapest but it is good.

The hotel is in a lovely setting by the village green in Langwathby. There is a lovely, friendly atmosphere in the hotel and we were made to feel very welcome. We stayed there to break up the journey going to a from a holiday in Scotland, but given the location we'd easily stay there again as a base for exploring the local area. The restaurant served really nice food and you could tell by the number of locals in each night we stayed that it is a very popular place. Definitely recommended.

Only used the restaurant. Food and service were excellent. Well priced as well.

Consistently brilliant ⭐
Fabulous food, great staff - couldn’t ask for more. We are regulars and keep coming back because the food and service is just great. Best cheesecake ever!!

Lovely friendly and cosy pub with great food. A very nice stop off on the way across to Northumberland from Preston. Good facilities too, can’t comment on the rooms as we stopped for food only.

Stopped for dinner after a day exploring Eden. Great location near a number of sites.
Delicious food with plenty of choices. The option for smaller portions for adults was a bonus for our group.

Bar and restaurants pristine and decor looked new.

Easy to park, lovely warm welcome, totally accessible (a family member with walking limitations)- just mind your head on the beams. There’s a play area and at the front of pub too.

Highly recommended ⭐

A gorgeous little inn with good food, comfy rooms and wonderful service!

We booked last minute on the day as a spontaneous trip to the Lakes, to climb Helvellyn the next day, and thankfully we got the last available room. We told the lady who checked us in (I sadly didn’t get her name) that we were leaving very early in the morning to catch the sunrise, so would miss breakfast. She immediately went to talk to the chef and arranged for some plates of food and bottles of orange juice to be made up for us and left in a fridge for us to grab as we left! We were so grateful for such kind and hospitable service, and the food was a great help before the hike.

There was plenty of parking available, and you can book to eat in the restaurant which serves tasty pub classics.

The room itself was very comfortable, cosy and perfect for what we needed. Only slight downside was the green emergency exit light in our room, as it was incredibly bright and located directly above the bed.

We definitely recommend staying at the Shepherds Inn!

Fantastic lunch here - the "mini whale" was absolutely delicious! Lovely pub, staff were excellent - attentive and polite. Very well priced given the standard of food we enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Well, what can I say. What a gem of a find. My wife, myself and our rabbit were treated very courteously, and with good humour. The food was exceptional and the staff were attentive and just superb. Could not recommend this hostelry more highly. Will be returning regularly.

such an amazing find of a great village pub with accommodation. the staff were very friendly and welcoming. the food was large portions and at a decent price. the rooms were very clean and spacious. one word of warning if you go for the full breakfast i can guarantee you will not eat anything else the rest of the day ;-) ( a proper Lake District portion). We can't wait to book our next stay at the Shepherds Inn.

Food was amazing. We rang last minute and they fitted us in no problem. Welcoming staff and lovely cosy atmosphere. Wine and ciders great and food glorious.
