Fodor's Expert Review Drunken Duck Inn

After four centuries, this friendly old coaching inn remains an outstanding place for both food and lodging. Bedrooms—bright, chic, and exceptionally comfortable— have wonderful views of the Langdale Pikes. Newer rooms have roll-top tubs and underfloor heating. Slip into the cozy bar with oak settles and order a tasty real ale from the Duck's Barngates Brewery. There's an open fire, and a cozy, dog-friendly bar. The dining space is light and airy.
