This wonderful inn is located in the centre of the pretty little village of Pooley Bridge only moments away from Ullswater. Our spacious, traditional bar features open fires, free wifi and a relaxing ambiance which welcomes both dogs and children. On better days, enjoy our pleasant outside tables both in our beautiful front garden and the peace of the Stable Courtyard away from the village bustle.

We have 12 bedrooms that are all en-suite some with their own balcony to relax on. Overnight guests can start the day with a full English breakfast and all the trimmings - or partake in a lighter continental-style alternative. We have a couple of family rooms and some with adjoining doors. No matter what size of group we can accommodate you.
Services
We have 12 en-suite rooms including Doubles, Twins, and family rooms. Our rooms are currently being refurbished, and several rooms are dog friendly too - just make sure to contact us in advance to check availability. With so many local attractions to see and do there is never enough time in one day to complete them all.
Here at The Pooley Bridge Inn we understand that good food can make your day complete. Whether you are after a quick snack after a looking around the local shops, a hearty meal to refuel after a hard days walking or a quiet meal for two on a special occasion, there is something on our menu for everyone.
We are a small, developing family of individual Country Inns, combining exceptional food and hospitality with great value. At Country Village Inns we want to give our country pubs back to their communities. We aim to make our pubs the social hub, employ local people, source local procedure and raise the profile of the village.

The staff here was amazing! I was just traveling through the area and stopping late at night; they made the effort to coordinate alternate checkin options for us. The Inn was beautiful and the breakfast was fantastic.

Stayed here for two nights, and I would happily stay again. Rooms were very nice, food was amazing (if very filling!), and the staff were the most accommodating you could hope for.
I would happily recommend Pooley Bridge Inn and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Mixed Feelings. Some things very good others not so. Lovely room. Spotlessly clean. Nice friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. The bad things, had pre-booked dinner but there was no table available. The restaurant is just a pub bar and mostly burgers etc. There is a proper (limited) restaurant menu but it was slightly disappointing. Overall good value for money and if you like pub grub this is the perfect place.

Went in for a meal on the 30th of December. Service was really fast and polite, seating us quickly and asking us if we were ready to order. Our meals were out really quickly and they were 100% spot on! We would definitely recommend the fish and chips or pie 😍 payed all contactless and on our way, all done and dusted with efficiency and politeness 💜

A beautiful setting for a beautiful building. Perfect location for travelling. We stayed for 3 nights, bed and breakfast and evening meal. The rooms where modern but traditional, cosy and clean. The food was was great, home cooked and big portions. The staff were all friendly and chatty, especially Sarah and Cindy at breakfast.
Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

We are visiting the lake district and needed a pit stop. This is a lovely place to do just that. My partner had a burger which was superb and I had the fish. This was the best fish I have ever had! The chips were chunky and plenty of...wasn't sure if I could finish it but I did. The fish. Fresh and thank you to the chef and the lovely friendly staff also. Highly recommend. If you are a dog lover...dogs are welcome! Great place.

We sat outside for a few drinks and the atmosphere and the setting of the place were both great. No need to go to the bar, you order (and pay) on their website and the staff bring the order out for you. Outdoor area was really nice. Food looked and smelled good although we didn't eat there ourselves. Drinks prices were ok, a little higher than I was expecting but maybe I'm just out of touch. I'll go again.

This was a stop over lunch for my friend and I. We sat outside to have a really nice dish and enjoy a very refreshing drink in the heatwave. It was a great location, right on the high street with the hustle and bustle of the town, as we come from London, so we like it to be busy. The staff were very nice, polite and attentive despite being very busy lunch time. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed every bite. I would totally recommend this pub to everyone passing by. But if it is too busy I am sure the nearby ones are just as great.
