Our on site pub, The Haybarn, had fallen a bit in our estimation in the recent past. We started to get some critical comments in the Visitors’ books in all 3 of our lodges about the welcome and my own experiences were less than wonderful.
However, at the back end of last season a new couple arrived to manage it – Vic and Thurza. Their input into the pub has been excellent and the recent refurbishment which they helped to design has lifted it into a totally new dimension.
All of a sudden it’s as warm and welcoming as Vic and Thurza’s smiles and chat. Especially that log burning fire!
I haven’t yet tried the food but I’ve heard from other owners that it’s excellent pub grub type fare, so I will be giving it a go next time I’m up at Limefitt.
Welcome to you both and thanks for transforming the place into something I can at last be really proud of offering to my guests!


























Hi, thinking of coming in November, are you open as usual and for food? Also how long would it take to walk in to Troutbeck?
Kind Regards
S Crane and family
Hi Stephanie – our 4 lodges are certainly open and the Haybarn should be. If not then the Mortal man certainly will be – Troutbeck is about 3/4 mile so maybe a 15- 20 minutes stroll.
