A pub in the Lake District has been named among the '10 best renovated English foodie inns' by the Guardian.

Over the next few weeks, nothing will beat a seat in a rustic pub and watching the dusk of summer slowly transform into the dawn of autumn. 

For that matter, you'll want to be in the Lake District.

The Guardian has put together a comprehensive list of the best English gastro pubs and named a spot very close to home.

'The best renovated English foodie inns'

The Brackenrigg, Lake District

Annabelle Thorpe said: "Opened in April, the Brackenrigg is set on the tranquil banks of Ullswater, a stone’s throw from its sister property, the family-friendly boutique hotel Another Place, The Lake.

"Guests can use the hotel’s restaurants, swimming pools and Kids’ Zone or paddle, stroke and glide across the lake with a range of kayaks, paddleboards and wet suits available to hire from the hotel.

"Or simply soak up the cosy pub ambience in the firelit bar, perfect for a post-walk pint. 

"Dinners are hearty and locally sourced – Cartmel Valley venison burgers, sautéed fish of the day with samphire and sticky toffee pudding to die for.

"Of the seven chic bedrooms, six look over the lake, and dogs are welcome throughout."
