Warm welcome and always felt welcome. Room a tad of a let down..in the Beer Garden, blind needed to be down on door and window at all times. No guest info? No Wifi code? Evening meal very good, once the fact they'd given our table away had been resolved. Found the wifi code in the bar. Breakfast poor...quite why asking for a glass of water was deemed "odd" puzzled me. Liquid tar for coffee and service slow. However everyone really lovely.

Always good - can you tell me what vegetarian / mushroom free dishes you have on tonight please? Might be coming with veggies tonight depending what you've got

We'd walked past The Blacksmiths Arms last summer when exploring Talkin village and thought we would love to stay there, given the chance. We were in the area again at the end of the Easter holidays and remembered this little gem. It was reasonably busy in the pub when we arrived but we were immediately greeted with a smile and 'hello's from the staff - that made us feel very welcome. The Blacksmiths, as one would imagine, is a lovely old traditional pub with an open fire - very cosy. We booked in for dinner that evening, which was of an excellent standard, but breakfast the following morning was an even bigger treat - and the nicest Cumberland sausages we've had in a long while. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We had a decent night's sleep after walking off dinner with an evening stroll along the lane to Farlam village. We absolutely loved it here and can't wait for an opportunity to come back.

Choose your meal very carefully ! Called for lunch but steak meal very disaopointing- dry and tough! Did comment to server but still charged full price. Not the response to encourage a return visit! Spoilt the day after a lovely walk at Talkin Tarn!

Great place outside Brampton. Great welcome. Food was excellent with great service. Def recommend. Only not as near Brampton as I thought. Lovely countryside.

We had three nights here and couldn't have been made more welcome. The hotel is an undiscovered charm and a breath of fresh air nowadays. No loud music, no modern updates and thankfully no dogs inside. The food throughout the day was excellent but the very best part were the people who ran the place and the location. We will be definitely returning.
