We have just returned from a very enjoyable, relaxing visit to the Horse and Farrier. On arrival we were greeted by a very convivial owner, Jooles. We stayed at the Guest House and this was very comfortable for all the family, including our dog. Later we were joined by friends at the Horse and Farrier for a meal and it... More

Just celebrated our firm's 20th birthday at Horse and Farrier on Saturday, great time had by all. Staff were excellent, food superb and the setting wonderful. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to celebrate a special occasion.

I've now been to this place three times - but I'm still not sure. Its a great location. And the food is great. But i think that may be part of the problem - the main part of the business is the food and the accommodation is an afterthought. This time, I specifically asked for the room I had the... More

I recently spent a night at the Horse & Farrier Inn as part of a walking party and found the hospitality to be outstanding! Julie (Jooles) and all the staff made us feel so welcome and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The rooms were clean and well-appointed and we enjoyed a superb dinner and breakfast. The views from... More

We have been staying in a cottage in Threlkeld for the last three years, and have aways frequented the Horse & Farrier. This year was no exception and we found that it was under new management. They were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you and even invited us for coffee on the morning we were leaving even though... More

I am not one for writing reviews but on this occasion I decided I must make an exception and have signed up to trip advisor to let people know just how good this place is. The inn is in a brilliant location only a few miles from Keswick but just off the a69 so really easy to find. The village... More

We spent two nights at the Horse and Farrier in April. What a lovely place! The location, under Blencathra, is beautiful and it was actually more spectacular because of the snow. We had some excellent walks from the Inn. The Inn itself has real character - like stepping back in time - with wood panelling, and truly wonderful food. The... More
