Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Sandfordarms offers a welcoming experience with delicious meals, particularly the recommended steak and ale pie, served in the bar area. Its location is ideal for those exploring nearby mountains like Mickle Fell and Little Fell, with car parks just a short drive away. The rooms are generally clean and spacious, though some guests have noted that the mattresses and linens could be improved. It's a very dog-friendly pub.
