Horse & Farrier Inn
About
The Horse & Farrier Inn is a historic coaching inn perched on the slopes of Blencathra in the heart of the Lake District. With its charming wooden beams and restored 18th‑century structure, it offers a warm, country‑seaside experience that blends old‑world charm with modern comforts. The inn’s restaurant serves locally sourced produce, classic British dishes, and a wide selection of Cumbrian ales, while the bar welcomes guests and their pet companions. The surrounding village of Threlkeld provides easy access to scenic walks, and the inn’s alfresco terrace lets visitors enjoy stunning views of the fells. Whether you’re looking for a cosy night of good food, a family outing by the riverside, or a quiet retreat for nature lovers, the Horse & Farrier promises a memorable stay.
