1863, Pooley Bridge
Bar, Bistro and B&B Accommodation,
Ullswater the Lake District

BUILT DURING QUEEN VICTORIA’S REIGN IN 1863

For over 150 years, 1863 has quite literally been a cornerstone of the village. The property is set in the heart of Pooley Bridge, a pretty village on the shores of Ullswater in the Lake District. It was built first as the village blacksmith and later it became the post office.

REIMAGINED FOR THE 21st CENTURY

Now 1863 is more than a bar, bistro and B&B accommodation with seven elegant bedrooms; we are a family affair who enjoy getting the little things just right, welcoming guests back times and again to share in a slice of Lake District paradise.

We serve a good selection of beers, wines and spirits but what we’re really passionate about are our ‘beers of the month’. Mark works with a number of local breweries to showcase some of the region’s finest unsung beer heroes.

Reviews

  • A small menu in a restaurant of this calibre is perfect. It means a restaurant can put all its heart into each dish it produces and the dishes we had were truly amazing. Really well presented and totally delicious. All there courses were excellent. Thank you for a lovely evening.

  • This was our second visit to this fabulous boutique hotel. A first class treat. Chef Phil and his team are worthy of a Michelin star or two even! They are obviously passionate about presentation as well as flavour with all dishes like a work of art – amazing.

  • Only a few minutes from the M6 at the top of Ulswater this small hotel and restaurant is a gem. Undoubtedly the highlight was the evening meal. A superb menu with excellent service. The dishes were well explained by the waiter and the standard of food was superb! I would say Michelin star level, a seriously talented chef is busy in that kitchen! A great place to stay and eat, I will be back!
