Set in a 300-year-old cream-rendered building, The Drunken Duck Inn offers double rooms with private entrances, terraces featuring mountain views, and rustic-chic bathrooms with walk-in showers. Guests can enjoy complimentary afternoon tea and free access to the Langdale Hotel's leisure facilities. The open kitchen serves a short-choice menu, including dishes like treacle-glazed beef shin and hake with pickled samphire. The bar stocks six or seven house-brewed ales, and dining areas include a veranda, paved terrace, and grassy verge with outdoor seating. Located at a crossroads two-and-a-half miles from Ambleside, The Drunken Duck Inn provides easy access to Windermere cruises and Hawkshead's Beatrix Potter attractions. Nearby landmarks include Wray Castle (2 km) and Tarn Hows (3 km).

“This inn strikes me as a peaceful escape with stunning views overlooking Ambleside; what stands out is the quality of the food, the proper real ales brewed on-site, and the warm, inviting atmosphere created by the staff and locals. It seems the supremely comfortable beds are a consistent highlight, ensuring a restful night. In my opinion, this place offers a genuine taste of the area's charm.”
