Visited the Castelgate Arms after a day out in the Lake District with my squire Luke from Cape SPC Ltd. A classy establishment with refined patronage. Better than was expected. The patrons were very friendly. Indeed, one gentleman who we only know by the name Lee, eyed us up for a game of pool and made us feel right at home. Lee is a solitary Khan, decended from the great Genghis. He must have lost his horde along the road! When you play him at pool you don't know if he's going to pocket a ball or pillage the local church. We have tried looking for him on a second visit but alas to no avail :( Any information on the whereabouts of Lee or his horde will be paid for in chalk and red wine.

Well located and comfortable bed but very noisy, no pressure on the hot water at all to the point of making showering really painful.

The rooms are sadly noisy, and the windows are very draughty! They take dogs which is a bonus.
