The Weary

The majority of people never consider staying at an Inn. Images of Dralon headboards, polyester sheets and communal bathrooms with a jukebox blaring below have understandably always put people off. Now, more people are shunning the starchiness of country house hotels in favour of an Inn’s informality and relaxed atmosphere. We have a VisitBritain Four star Rating, as well as a AA Four star rating.

We are a lovely countryside located restaurant with rooms. Enjoy a Cumbrian hotel weekend getaway, Christmas festive break, summer break, short stay or a long stay at The Weary, Castle Carrock, as seen in the Michelin Hotel Guide.

Our chef is as passionate about food as we are about beer and wine. Whether it's for a quick cup of coffee, a glass of one of our selected wines and a two or three course meal, we welcome you to join us at our hotel near the Lake District.

Our home made food is freshly prepared and the menu changes on a regular basis. We have designed an informal menu from which many of our dishes can be taken as a starter or a main course. The Weary offers varied menus to suit all, from the Early Bird and Children's Menu through to the full A-La-Carte Menu.

Now, more people are shunning the starchiness of country house hotels in favour of an Inns informality and relaxed atmosphere. Recognising this trend, Ian and Gill who had been in tourism, running restaurants and hotels for many years realised there was a gap in the market, so they purchased The Weary Sportsman Inn, Castle Carrock, Nr Carlisle. We found that there was a general trend towards informality. More and more people wanted to eat flexibly and stay in quality accommodation without breaking the bank, say's the proprietor.

The local area around The Weary has plenty to do, walks, Hadrian's wall, The Lakes, Scottish Borders, Carlisle City and Newcastle to name just a few.
