The Charles Bathurst Inn

Went for lunch, very accommodating for a walk in, friendly staff lovely looking pub! We came last year and were very impressed with the pub and had fish and chips. I remembered enjoying them so ordered the same meal this time. The portion was half the size that is was last year and was sat on about 8 chips. £16.95 felt a bit steep for the light bite size portion. Also was a bit disappointed in baby changing facilities, I understand the toilets are small however, a dusty mat stored on top of the heater, to be put onto a wet countertop, next to the sink and under the paper towel rack, as soon as you go into the toilet was not ideal. If someone else was using the toilets whilst I wanted to change my child, we wouldn’t have had privacy and I doubt anyone wants a poo nappy changing where you clean and dry your hands.

We have been here many times and although it is only 1 hour from home, it feels like a true getaway. We love cycling and walking and find it a perfect location. To come back here after a day out is so warm and comforting. The staff are so friendly, the food is delicious and the accommodation is excellent. It ticks every box for us.

To celebrate our daughter and son in law's 25th wedding anniversary, we had a great meal here with them and his parents. Then, when we had finished, our daughter and son in law returned to their holiday cottage, leaving us 4 parents to stay bed and breakfast. Super friendly and helpful host, a very warm and welcoming place. We all had a fabulous evening meal, cooked to perfection, beautifully presented by lovely staff. A few good drinks, including good choice of zero alcohol beers and ciders. Absolutely 5 star meal, enjoyed by all of us. Very comfortable rooms, good beds and bathroom, and all spotlessly clean. Breakfast was delightful. Big choice of cereals, toast, jams,and fruit. Fresh orange juice, and absolutely excellent coffee. Breakfast food was up to the same very high standard as our evening meal. My wife chose salmon and scrambled eggs, a huge portion and reported as superb. The rest of us enjoyed our full English. Beautifully presented and cooked, with local Cumberland sausage, thick cut bacon with all the usual extras, of the finest quality. Our meals and our overnight stay here all added to the enjoyable special occasion. Visit this lovely place, or even just have a meal, you will love the whole experience as much as we all did.

Very impressed with our one night stay. The CB is a very attractive inn. Nice room, en suite and residents lounge. Helpful staff. We had good dinner and breakfast. Entertained by the quoits match going on outside. I am sure we will return soon

Stopped here for dinner. The place was full and we did not reserve but the nice lady let us have a small table to order food after we had been out walking all day. The menu had a good amount of choice. I have a dairy intolerance and the nice waiter went to the kitchen to ask what was suitable for me. My meal was delicious, quite pricey but worth it. My friend also said their meal was fabulous. Overall I would totally recommend and will come again. Nice place inside too. Free WiFi is a plus too. Thank you.

Stayed overnight on a Thursday at short notice. Have stayed before as well. Room was comfortable and clean with tea and coffee provided and an en-suite bathroom with electric shower. Enjoyed a very good dinner in the restaurant and attentive service. Excellent breakfast in the morning which set us up nicely for the day. Overall a pleasant experience. Thank you.
