Good Hotel Guide Review
‘The view and the tranquillity are just wonderful.’ Overlooking the Levens estuary, Robert Lyons and Lesley Wheeler’s traditional pub-with-rooms is a fine spot to watch the tide race in – a thrilling sight. The inn was once a stop-over for coaches and horses crossing the sands to Lancaster. These days, its ‘amiable’ comforts draw back birdwatchers, cyclists, walkers, dog owners and fishermen year after year. A community hub, it is popular with locals for casual bar meals, and candlelit dinners served in the freshly decorated conservatory restaurant by the water’s edge. Homely bedrooms are supplied with board games, books and magazines; six rooms have an estuary-view balcony. Breakfasts are ‘exceptional’.
