Best KPortal Reviews

What a wonderful friendly pub this is. The owners spoke with us asking us about our travels in the camper and even helped us out with a local place to park up. The local people were so friendly too really lovely evening. The owners then told us yo help ourselves to a cheeseboard that they had laid on for no cost! How very kind of them .
Arrived to an empty bar with 5 other people after a lovely hike in the surrounding area. The Landlord did not make us feel welcome, actually didn’t say a word. Also it was ‘cash only’ at the bar, which may catch some out who visit. There are some beautiful views from pub at the rear, I will never return !
Been coming to the village for something like 30 years never been in the Fleece until yesterday evening walking the dog. Unlike a previous review I had a warm welcome from landlord & landlady as well as the friendly "locals". Also a splendid view of the sunset over the Fells.
Lovely little classic pub with great views at the rear, we drove past on way to derwent manor, would be a great stop off for any bikers etc. Bombardier beer on tap is lovely
Wanted a little beer after a walk and it was dead as a dodo, didn't feel particularly welcomed by the person behind the bar, and it was cash only which we didn't have. Who does not accept card these days?? Unbelievable!
Had a lovely fire burning bright which is worth the 1 star!
Visited The Fleece regardless of the one adverse comment and what a pleasure it was. The landlord was welcoming and informative. He told us some of the history of the pub going back to as far as 1820. The drinks were reasonably priced and The Bombardier was exceptional. If you are staying at The Derwent Manor it’s a lovely local just down the road. The locals were chatty and very pleasant, the views from the conservatory over the local countryside were beautiful.
2 stars as it was open and the drinks are reasonably priced. Did not feel welcome, no smile from the landlord who was busy watching the TV, when his programme was finished he switched it off. Did not feel comfortable so drank up and left. Only one other person in the bar.
Have seen this pub for the last 6 years or so on my way to derwent manor and always wanted to try it. Walked there today from derwent manor and its a Lovely little pub with great views over the hills from the conservatory, roaring fire and very reasonable prices, but really didn't feel welcome at all.
It's a shame as there's beer mats promoting local pubs and saying how many local pubs close a week, not surprising if the welcomes are as cold as this.
Maybe it's different if you're a local but if your a stranger it's quite an uncomfortable atmosphere
