The Duck has been under the same family ownership since it was bought in April 1977. The present day Inn is an unstuffy mix of old and new, constantly evolving, but always sticking to the basic philosophy of offering good service, comfortable accommodation, excellent food, wine and beer in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. The Duck lies in the very heart of the Lake District with breathtaking views of the surrounding fells. Perfectly situated within a few minutes drive of Tarn Hows, Coniston Old Man and the Langdale Pikes. Its location within 60 acres of private land on a crossroads high above Lake Windermere provides a stunning setting for this quite extraordinary Lakeland Inn.
