This is a beautiful Inn, lovely location with a walk through the woods close by. Staff were all very polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable - they were happy to organise an earlier check-in on request. The room has the usual tea and coffee facilities, and they were happy to supply water for my room on request. They booked a table for my evening meal - lovely menu choices, and they cater for all dietary requirements. Portion sizes are plentiful, and food arrived piping hot. A good selection of breakfast options too. I was given keys to the front door if I was out later than closing time. Excellent and swift communication using the 'message the property' function. I highly recommend and would happily stay here again - thank you.

The rooms are of good size with en suite. Although above the pub, it was quiet in the rooms and could not hear from downstairs. Great tea and coffee facilities and great location for a local wedding. Staff were ever so attentive - my partner fell ill whilst there and the staff couldn't do enough to ensure we were prepared for our long journey home. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choices and very accommodating. Would highly recommend.

There isn't anything we can comment on that we didn't like.

Idyllic looking Inn in a glorious quiet location. Our room had a view of fields and the river with a stone bridge crossing. Plenty of parking opposite in the pub car park. The room was well presented with a very comfy bed. The bathroom was adequate, if small. Nice atmospere in the bar, well used by locals. There was a separate games room with a pool/snooker table. Having read previous reviews we had high expectations but our one-night stay didn’t fulfil them.

The bedroom was tiny with just about enough space for the bed and little room to manovre around it. A short corridor with storage led to a small bathroom and an under-powered shower, One bath towel was dirty with food stains, which we assume got through "quality control". The dinner was edible but ordinary. Breakfast was served in a room without any heating and we vacated it quickly. Breakfast seemed to be disjointed although the lady serving was doing her best. This place could be really something with a little more focus on the essentials.

Breakfast was brilliant, and plenty of it. The Fox and Pheasant is in a small village (Armathwaite) just north of Penrith, and has its own railway station, with trains to Carlisle, and Leeds (the train stops at Settle which is a nice journey) You are able to pay on the train, which is good. The rooms are lovely with rooms 2 and 3 looking out on to sheep in the field. The staff are very friendly as are the locals. The meals are cooked fresh . When it is cold there is a lovely open fire on the go.

The menu was not as extensive as on a previous visit, but a new menu I believe is due soon, all the food was lovely and good portions.

Very friendly staff. Both the evening meal and breakfast were plentiful and really tasty. The room was nice and clean with blackout curtains. Tea/coffee/biscuits provided. Extremely comfortable bed. Toiletries in the bathroom were also provided. Very quiet location during the night.

As I am an early to bed person, it did take a while to get to sleep as I could hear other guests downstairs in the bar, but only till about 10.30 pm (which I know isn't late for most people). Also the electric shower was a little bit difficult to get the right temperature set. It kept going hot and cold. Both these comments would not sway me from staying again though.

The staff are absolutely spot on, couldn’t be more helpful and such nice people. The food… is absolutely amazing pub grub done to a top standard and the portions are huge! I’d say they won’t sell many puddings! Breakfast was the same… 100% fresh local produce and service with a smile. A table of Germans at breakfast asked for some cheese and a platter came out that would put most cheese boards I’ve seen to shame!

Shower was electric and a little tricky to get the temperature right.

From the moment we arrived everything was fantastic. We were greeted by a fantastic host. Our room was lovely and warm and cosy on a winter’s evening. Our food was so tasty and filling after a long walk earlier in the day along the river Eden which is such a picturesque river. Followed by a relaxing sleep and a wholesome breakfast. We left feeling we’d had a fantastic time and wanting to return later In the year.

Nothing.

Spotlessly clean. Fabulous food, comfy snug room

Room was a bit cramped (I had a lot of bags) but bed was super comfortable, the room was spotless, nice view, and had all I needed. Would definitely stay again. I had dinner in the pub, the food was wonderful. Very happy, and I’m a bit of a food snob! Breakfast was included with the room, was loads of choice, generous, and delicious. Staff were fabulous. Thank you all, I really enjoyed my stay.

The location was beautiful, lovely river view from our room and from the bridge opposite. Everything was very good. The room was a little small for the price paid but for one night it was adequate, clean and comfy. We asked for 2 extra pillows prior to arrival and they were on the bed ready. Some water in the room would also have been a welcome touch.

It was a little warm in the room but after opening the 2 windows it soon cooled down. There was a plug in air freshener in the room which was quite strong.

The Fox & Pheasant is located in a charming village within easy reach of Carlisle. For railway enthusiasts, Armathwaite is a stop on the Settle/Carlisle railway and the village is situated on the river Eden. We stayed on a Sunday and although the pub was very busy, it wasn't a problem getting a table for dinner. There was a varied menu at reasonable prices.

The Fox & Pheasant is in a farming area and one needs to beware of farm traffic on the road.
