About This Pub

You know, when I popped into the Hewitt Arms, I have to say, it really won me over with its cosy feel and the friendly folk behind the bar – it's just that sort of place where you settle in for a good chat and a drink. The setting is absolutely spot on, nestled by the lakes with some cracking views that make it ideal for a chilled-out afternoon or evening. It's got this unique, quirky character that's a bit off the main paths, which I love because it feels like a hidden treasure you don't find every day. But, on the flip side, the opening times are a right faff; it's only open three days a week and the hours jump around, so you'd best check ahead or you might find yourself staring at a closed door. And when it does get busy, the noise can ramp up a bit, which isn't everyone's cup of tea if you're hoping for a peaceful pint. All in all, though, it's a solid choice if you're nearby and fancy something a bit special – just go in with realistic expectations, and you'll likely have a great time.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The pub has a really warm and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's set in a beautiful location with stunning views around the lakes, perfect for a relaxing pint.
  • It's a unique and quirky spot, off the beaten track, which adds to its charm and makes it a must-visit gem.
Cons
  • Opening times can be a bit unpredictable and it's only open a few days a week, which might leave you disappointed if you turn up unannounced.
  • It can get quite noisy when it's busy, so if you're after a quiet chat, you might want to pick your moment.
  • The place sometimes feels underused, and with its inconsistent hours, it doesn't always live up to the lovely surroundings.

Lovely area, beautiful scenery but the pub itself is ok but not always open and maybe a bit under used considering its surroundings.

Quirky pub and setting! Great location with some wonderful views around the lakes that surround the pub and grounds. Times of opening are a bit all over the place but that just adds to character of the pub!
