About The Crown Inn Pooley Bridge

The Crown Inn Pooley Bridge sits right in the heart of the village, close to the water at Ullswater and surrounded by the fells and lanes that make this corner of Cumbria popular with walkers and cyclists. It's a traditional inn setting, with the pub and its garden forming the centre of the place rather than an afterthought.

Rooms are en-suite and include family and accessible options, kept simple and comfortable rather than flashy. Breakfast is served on site, and there's a restaurant and bar downstairs along with outdoor seating for warmer days. Free WiFi is available throughout, and pets are welcome, which suits guests travelling with dogs for fell walks.

Fishing, watersports and cycling routes are all within easy reach, along with pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby for evenings after a day outdoors. It works well as a straightforward base for exploring Pooley Bridge and the wider Lake District, without pretensions beyond being a comfortable village inn.
