The Old Ginn House Inn houses the 'Ginn Room' bar and dining areas, where an extensive menu offers traditional home-cooked fare alongside cosmopolitan dishes.

A complementary full Cumbrian grill breakfast is served each morning, using local produce and including daily specials.
Rooms & Accommodation
The hotel offers renovated rooms with en-suite bathrooms, including family rooms that accommodate up to five guests. Guests note the very comfy beds as a standout feature, and rooms include tea and coffee-making facilities.
