A trip to Cumbria on a ”Dogcation” had me book into the Globe Inn at Gosforth for a couple of nights. advertised as dog friendly, with a bridleway of three miles to the beach at Seascale, it had the hallmarks of an ideal couple of days for me and my four legged friend. We were not disappointed, communication with the inn was excellent and we were met on arrival by Jamie who showed us to our room. The room had everything required, ensuite facilities, tea/coffee and a TV. A bit on the small side, but spotlessly clean. Similar accommodation across the road is double what I paid at this inn. so in terms of a cost effective stay this beats all competitors hands down. There should be some expectation management of staying here though, if you want a genuine English inn, run by hard working people trying to sustain a business in trying times, then book in here, support them and get a feel for the local area and life in Cumbria. If you want Air Conditioning in rooms, Hot Tub, Fitness Suite and room service on call 24 hrs then this is not the place for you, go pay at least £150 a night for those facilities. Now let me put this into the Globe inn context, Air Conditioning. is open or close the window until its comfy. Hot Tub, is a good shower is provided, Fitiness Suite, Is get off your backside and go for a walk in the stunning countryside(then have a hot shower. 24 hr Room Service is let them now what you need in advance and they are friendly enough to sort it out for you. I paid £43 a night, work out the Math ! for value for money. Breakfast was available in the cafe next door and was excellent(See pictures). All in all an excellent stay, ticked all my boxes and will book again
Excellent
