The Wheatsheaf at Beetham

Historic Inn with very good food and drink 400 year old inn in a little village. Recently modernised bedrooms. Welcoming staff although they didn't tell us the TV was not working other than via internet conection until I asked why there was no reception. This lack of reception was due to building works. Very good dinner and breakfast and two cask ales available. Large private car park across the street where there is also an outside seating area. The church clock chimes every 15 mins day and night so if you're a light sleeper this could be a problem but ear plugs a provided. An historic corn mill is close by. Convenient for catching the Isle of Man Ferry if travelling by car. We would stay there again.

Slightly disappointing Our room on the top floor was characterful and had everything we needed, a couple of negatives however were the bathroom window which had no blind or curtain and which wouldn't close. The staff who checked us in on Friday morning and who served a delicious breakfast on Saturday, were friendly and helpful. A slight disappointment was my meal of fish, chips and mushy peas. The peas were cold and the batter on the fish was undercooked. My husband had the burger which he really enjoyed. Another downside for me was the bar area which didn’t provide any comfortable seating areas to sit and relax after your meal.

A very warm and welcoming pub, with great staff. Callum was very helpful as we ordered and we thought that the soup on the specials menu was really good!! I would strongly recommend going here. Great after a long walk in the area, too. Cosy pub, with a lovely atmosphere.

Stayed here for two nights 4th & 5th Sept whilst visiting the local RSPB reserve. Excellent location for this or for going further afield as very near to the A6. Very warm welcome upon arrival quick check in and shown to our room which is on the upper floor with stairs to negotiate but very easy. There are only 4 rooms available. Room 2 was nicely decorated with a sizable bathroom and large shower all of which was very clean. The view was pleasant looking out onto the 17th century church which was lit at night without any light disturbance into the room, the bells chime on the quarter hour but are not an issue at all as they are quiet but earplugs are provided if you are sensitive to noise. The only issue we had with the room was that the mattress was uncomfortable it felt like it was a sprung mattress and in need of change, I mentioned this to the staff on checkout but it did not spoil our stay. We ate in the restaurant on the first evening and I must say the food was excellent and very well presented so I would recommend trying. We ate breakfasts on both days which again were very good, ordered the day before by ticking a selection from a form left in the room so no waiting in the morning and it was freshly cooked so again I would recommend it. Overall our stay was very good and if not for the mattress I would have added the extra star to the rating.

Incredible food served by friendly and lovely staff. We were all -including 8 month old baby and 3 year old cocker spaniel warmly welcomed. Great roast and the brownie was divine. Thank you so much to Luke and Bella. We had a lovely walk through the deer park to get there and will come again soon!

Convenient location, nearby parking and historical building. Very organised, meals exellent.
