The Fleece Inn

About

The Fleece Inn is a celebrated country pub and boutique inn tucked into the tranquil village of Dolphinholme, on the edge of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape. Awarded the nation’s Best Pub at the 2025 Countryside Alliance Awards, it blends historic charm with modern comfort. The inn boasts six classic rooms and a self‑contained apartment, each featuring exposed oak beams, antique furnishings, and Lakeland stone bathrooms—ideal for a restful retreat after exploring Lancashire’s rolling countryside, the Lake District, or the historic town of Lancaster. The on‑site restaurant is a culinary highlight, with a menu that celebrates locally sourced produce—Dewlay cheeses, Honeywell meats, and Fleece‑Inn honey—crafting seasonal dishes that evolve with the freshest regional ingredients. Whether you’re wandering the nearby Dales, visiting historic Lancaster Castle, or simply unwinding by the fire with a locally brewed pint, The Fleece Inn delivers an authentic, award‑winning pub experience coupled with luxurious accommodation and warm hospitality.
