The Hare & Hounds Inn

About

The Hare & Hounds Inn is a boutique country inn tucked into the rolling hills of Bowland Bridge in the Lake District. From its cosy stone‑washed façade you step into a warm, contemporary space that honours the local scenery while offering the comforts of a five‑star bed and breakfast. Five individually designed rooms, each with its own character and a dramatic walk‑in shower, overlook the surrounding gardens and offer the perfect base for exploring the nearby Lake Windermere, Bowness and Kendal. The inn’s culinary team delivers a modern take on classic pub fare. The All‑Day Menu, Sunday roast, and a rotating selection of seasonal specials highlight locally sourced produce, while the bar boasts a craft‑beer list and a signature gin made on‑site. A weekday lunch, two‑hour dinner and three‑hour dinner packages can be booked for as little as £75 per couple, underscoring the hostel’s reputation for delicious food that feels like home. In addition to quality accommodation and great food, the Hare & Hounds is famous for its collection of relaxed events – from wine tastings and masterclass workshops to an Alpine Tipi where guests mingle over music and themed parties. Dogs are welcome in the bedrooms and bar, and the owners happily organise cosy holiday stays for guests who want to unwind in the Lake District’s idyllic setting.
