For centuries this historic hostelry on the edge of the Lake District welcomed travellers, locals, goods and ideas through its doors, but as times changed, this beautiful old inn lost its way, and it looked like it had closed its doors for what seemed like the last time.
Today The Farmer’s Arms is once again a thriving and ambitious rural hub, enhancing the lives of locals and visitors alike with wonderful food and drink, creative classes, fascinating talks and welcoming spaces for folk of all ages.

We have been continuously and carefully refurbishing the interior of this Grade II Listed inn since acquiring it in a rundown state in 2021. We favour the re-use and recycling of existing fittings and features, and we source and adapt many vintage furnishings for use throughout the public and staff spaces of The Farmer’s Arms. We use skilled craftspeople and simple, natural materials to enhance this revered, characteristic building.
