Brook House

We will not take a deposit at this time and will be flexible with date changes if required. We strongly suggest you book tables to dine with us when you make a room reservation as capacity will be reduced. Booking direct at Brook House Inn, gives you our best available rate. Booking through a third party may be easy, but the cost to small hotels will eventually mean everyone pays more.

We have 8 en-suite bedrooms at Brook House Inn all are a reasonable size for a Lake District Inn. Two rooms are family rooms, one with a double bed and a single bed and the other with bunks and a double bed. We can configure the rooms to be a max of seven twins and one double or upto eight doubles.

The Thornley family have been looking after Brook House Inn for 22 years now, and in that time we have had in excess of 1000 different real ales on the bar, and still there are new ones to try! The bar is open all day with food served alongside fine ales wine and whisky, talking of whisky, our list has about 180 different malts on it! A growing list of gins 35 at last count and the wine list is pretty good too.

The Boot Beer Festival has been going for quite a few years now, it started as a way to get visitors to the valley during the Foot and mouth outbreak, and is one of the few good things to come out of a bad time in Lake District history. The Festival is now a great event spanning 4 days with music in the pubs at Boot and starts with a curry night at Brook House Inn on the Thursday evening. Over the course of the festival we will have at least 40 real ales on the bar, usually 12 at a time until they are gone.

We have a menu with all the malts listed and a couple of tours devised by Gareth to set you on a course to whisky bliss. Any night can be a whisky tasting night at Brook House Inn! But if you fancy something with a bit of structure, book a tasting with Gareth who will supply a selection of 5 malts for you to try, with tasting notes, some appropriate nibbles and hopefully a bit of good banter about the whisky and wider world!. Over the last few years we have seen a sad increase in the price of rare malts like the ones pictured below.
