The Boot Inn at Eskdale

The Boot Inn at Eskdale The Boot Inn nestles in the Eskdale Valley, over looked by Scafell Pike, Harter Fell and Great Gable to name but a few. Come and visit us at The Boot inn

We serve great food, give friendly service and offer a great nights sleep. The Boot Inn nestles in the tiny hamlet of Boot, deep in the heart of the Eskdale Valley. Within easy walking distance of The English Lake Districts largest and most majestic fells, yet only 7 miles from the sea. We provide first class food, drink and accommodation with nine letting bedrooms, bar, conservatory and snug area

s, we also have ample car parking and a large beer garden. The inn itself has been catering for the hungry and thirsty travellers since the 17th century, offering a selection of traditionally kept cask ales, fine wines, sprits, continental beers, soft drinks and excellent food. At the Boot Inn we endeavour to source as many of our ingredients and most of our produce locally including the almost legendary cumberland sausages. Everybody is welcome included our four legged friends. With real log fires for those chilly autumn, winter or even summer days, a warm welcome is always guaranteed. The valley provides a wealth of opportunity for outdoor activity with Scafell, Great Gable, Harter Fell, Bowfelll, Crinkle Crags and many others all within walking distance without having to cross a single road! Cyclists can pitt themselves against the Hardknott and Wrynose passes, the steepest section of road in England leading to the Duddon Valley and Langdale. For those of a more spiritual and historical interest there is to be found the remains of a Roman Fort in the upper reaches of the valley and the beautiful 14th century church of St Catherines only a short stroll away. Slightly further afield attractions such as Muncaster Castle and Eskdale Golf Course are close by.

Sun’s out and it’s set to be a beautiful weekend here in Eskdale 🌞
Why not make the most of it with a visit to The Boot Inn? Our specials boards are looking as tempting as ever, from crispy camembert wedges and Korean pork fillet to fresh Shetland mussels served Spanish-style with tomato and a touch of chilli. And if you’re feeling hungry, our wild seabass fillet or hearty pork porchetta are perfect after a day out in the fells.
Pull up a chair in our beer garden, enjoy a pint in the sunshine, and let us take care of the rest 🍺
We’d love to see you this weekend!

Pop by and make the most of it.
