About The Boot Inn

Nine en-suite rooms make up The Boot Inn, each offering a straightforward, comfortable base with mountain views over the surrounding fells rather than any frills. Drinks can be brought to the room, and accessible rooms are available for those who need them, with the whole place run on a 24 hour reception basis so arrival times are never a worry.

Downstairs there's a proper pub feel, with a bar and restaurant serving breakfast and other meals, kids meals on the menu, and packed lunches made up for anyone heading out onto the fells for the day. The garden, picnic area and outdoor seating make good use of the setting when the weather allows, and pets are welcome throughout.

The Boot Inn sits in the Eskdale Valley in the heart of the Lake District, with walking and cycling routes leading straight out from the door and fishing available nearby. Free on-site parking is provided, and further pubs, bars and restaurants can be found close by in the village of Boot itself.
