Gosforth Hall is now an Inn.
019467 25322
Don’t be deceived into thinking Gosforth Hall is just another Lakeland located Cumbrian Hotel, it is in fact a rare find of a 350 year old Grade II* listed building operating as a very warm and inviting Inn - offering 9 en-suite bedrooms, a pub with very well kept real ales and a choice of well respected home made pies.
In recognition of our affordable well kept Real Ales and warm welcome we were awarded Runner-up CAMRA Pub of the Year 2008 for West Cumbria and to better reflect the hospitality and atmosphere, have since renamed the hotel to an Inn.
Gosforth Hall is ideally located to visit the Wasdale and Eskdale valley, St Bees, Nether Wasdale, Seascale, Drigg, Sellafield and Westlakes Science park.

The spacious Suite boasts a 4-poster bed, a giant en-suite bath, exposed beams that were from the hull of a ship, sunken off the Irish coast and proves popular for a special weekend away.

The owners, Rod and Barbara provide a warm and relaxed home-from-home feel and operate one menu that can be eaten in the Bar, Lounge or Restaurant. On the menu, and fast becoming a popular choice is Rod’s Homemade Pies which are served with homemade mushy peas and real chips. Having sold nearly 5,000 pies since January 2008, Rod is often found making pastry or concocting a new pie filling in the kitchen. An example of this month’s options range from Steak, Bacon & Mushroom to Veal, Plum & Port, Stilton & Broccoli and Morrocan Lamb.

Brief History
Building of the Hall commenced in 1658, the year of Oliver Cromwell's death. The date of completion is not clear, although the date on the Coat of Arms in the bar is 1673. The Lounge, which was the kitchen, holds what is reputed to be the widest spanning sand stone hearth in England. The hotel stands next to St Mary's Church with the famous 15ft-high Viking Cross. The building retains a number of original features that have been retained, in keeping with its Grade 2* listing.
