Tucked between Loweswater and Crummock Water in the quiet Lorton Valley, Kirkstile Inn is a classic Lakeland inn with low beams, log fires, and fell views. It’s an ideal base for walking Melbreak, Grasmoor, Whiteside, and the lakeshore paths, with Buttermere and Whinlatter a short drive away.
Expect hearty, seasonal menus built around local Cumbrian produce – think pub classics done well alongside daily specials – plus a well-kept line-up of real ales and a thoughtful wine list. Cosy bedrooms offer a comfortable stay after a day on the fells, and the dog-friendly bar and beer garden make it as welcoming in summer as it is by the fire in winter.
With its peaceful setting, great food and drink, and doorstep access to some of the Lake District’s best walks, Kirkstile Inn is perfect for hikers, food lovers, and anyone seeking a traditional country inn experience in Cumbria.
