About The Pooley Bridge Inn

The Pooley Bridge Inn occupies a classic village-pub setting on Finkle Street, the kind of solid, welcoming building you'd expect at the centre of a Lake District village. It's a straightforward, comfortable base rather than anything grand, with en-suite rooms including family options, free WiFi throughout, and drinks available in room.

Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving as the social hub of the place, along with outdoor seating for warmer days and breakfast served each morning. Reception operates around the clock, so arrival times are flexible, and pets are welcome for those travelling with dogs. Free on-site parking makes it easy for anyone arriving by car, a useful point in a village that can get busy.

Pooley Bridge itself sits within easy reach of the wider Lake District, and the surrounding area is well suited to walking and cycling, with fishing and watersports also available nearby. There's no shortage of other pubs, restaurants and entertainment close by either, making the inn a convenient spot to return to after a day exploring the fells and water.
