The Drunken Duck Inn

The Drunken Duck Inn sits at Barngates between Ambleside, Hawkshead and Coniston, in a countryside setting with views towards the surrounding fells. It is both a destination pub and a place to stay, with individually styled bedrooms, a restaurant, bar, garden and terrace. Its position is particularly useful for visitors who want to explore the central and southern Lakes without staying in the middle of a busy town. National hotel round-ups regularly highlight the Drunken Duck because it combines the informality of a country pub with a stronger food and accommodation offer than a typical inn, making it a good match for walking weekends and relaxed food-led breaks.
