Kyloes Inns Testimonials

I have been going to The Highland Drove Inn for over 10 years (I've just come back from England on my umpteenth trip) and have recommended the extra distance to my Canadian friends as top rated and worth the effort. Consistently excellent food (try the Nile perch). Terrific wine cellar. Amenable and friendly hosts and hostess. Unrushed atmosphere. Classic pub. Clean and comfortable rooms. Everything is as it should be and if I am anywhere near this establishment while in England, it becomes a destination of choice. I'll guarantee it!

The Highland Drove is a great country pub with real atmosphere often lost at so many other country inns. Kyloes Restaurant is a great dining experience - a great mix of inventive dishes and the classics. It is varied often enough to keep us going back time and time again. Donald, the hard working Landlord, always offers friendly banter behind the bar and is happy to serve food in the less formal dining area downstairs.
The Cross Keys is a great addition to Penrith. A local pub on the edge of the town. The food is equally as tasty but offers pub style food, albeit of a very high standard, rather than the fine dining found at The Drove. It has be spectacularly refurbished and extended and is a great pub for a enjoying selection of ales and good food with friends and family. The service is always attentive, and Paul runs an efficient ship.
Keep up the good work!

Popped in on the off chance of a table as we were driving through and found everyone very helpful. We were amazed by the beautiful dining room with such magnificent views. It was all very tastefully done.
We had a lovely meal, thank you! Although we just opted for the Sunday Roast this time, we would certainly call again if we were in the area and would tackle some of the more interesting items on the menu.
Good value and overall a very pleasurable experience. Thank you!

Best food i have had in a long time!!

Staff: well presented, very well mannered and very helpfull.

Ambiance: Warm and inviting.
Take a seat in the bar, have a drink and relax whilst awaiting your food order. When your order is ready, you are invited to a table in the resteraunt.

Food: Presentation was extremely good.
True flavours. Local produce. Nothing overwhelms, other than the portions served. Everything on the plate keeps it own flavour.

Prices are great for such quality food, suits any pocket, even for families with children.

Having eaten here twice, during a visit to the lakes, i can certainly say, "I most certainly will be back time and time again"
