An elegant and traditional bar, restaurant and hotel, the 4* Kings Arms at Temple Sowerby was the starting point for William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge’s famous exploration of the Lake District in 1799 and has hosted thousands of satisfied guests since. Perfectly placed for exploration of the picturesque North Pennines, the breathtaking Lake District and the wild Yorkshire Dales, this welcoming venue is also within easy reach of Hadrian’s Wall, Solway Coast (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and the historic market towns of Carlisle and Penrith. Parking at the hotel is free, as is Wi-Fi; you’ll share a comfortable room and enjoy a delicious breakfast both mornings, and dog-lovers are welcome to bring their furry friends as long as they’re declared at point of booking – you can even take your meals in the cosy bar-area by the fire, so your pet can keep you company!
