  2. “Brilliant pub, even better, the people who live and breath it!” Reviewed 6 February 2012 We have just got back from having our wedding reception / weekend in Ennerdale. We stayed in another property but our guests filled the Fox and Hounds amongst other B & B s. the pub is clean, warm , cosy and inviting. The food is excellent and they cater for large groups with ease ( although it's best to ring up in advance and warn them your coming!) This place shows what people power can do. We did have many guests who were also due to stay in the other pub in the village, the shepherds arms, but this closed down, 48 hours before our wedding! The staff at the fox and hounds rallied round and found accommodation for all 14 bedless guests at really short notice. Managing, out of season, to convince people to open up for us. Amazing. There was even an offer of staying with one member of staff if needed. Throughout the weekend we felt our every need was met and they really went the extra mile to ensure that their village did the best it could for us . Highly recommended!..... thank you guys.

  3. “Surprisingly good food” Reviewed 11 December 2011 The great thing about this inn is that it is now owned by the community. The dinner was surprisingly good and the value was excellent in a friendly atmosphere. Emigre_grise San Francisco Bay Area
