“The inn benefits from its proximity to Cartmel Race Track, and its friendly staff, particularly Mike and Belinda, create a welcoming atmosphere; I appreciated the clean, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The hot cooked breakfast certainly seems to be a highlight. For anyone seeking good value in Holker, this pub-hotel is worth considering.”
