About

Nestled on a hillside overlooking Braithwaite Village, the Coledale Inn offers a tranquil blend of historic charm and modern comfort. With 20 newly refurbished rooms, it’s a perfect escape for hikers, families and food lovers alike. The inn’s Victorian and Georgian bars showcase a curated range of local real ales, while the generous garden and beer garden provide sweeping views of the Lake District and Derwentwater. Every guest can enjoy a hearty English breakfast, seasonal Sunday roasts and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. Practicalities such as free dog stays, touch‑less check‑in at 3 pm and quiet check‑out at 11 am make the stay hassle‑free. Whether you’re here for a weekend of walks or a longer holiday, the Coledale Inn delivers an authentic English experience in a picturesque setting.
