The rudest landlady in the country, she would have been great to meet! Very welcoming real fire and Christmas tree! Great corner window views from the room! Looks a great place to get snowed in! Interesting looking bath, is it metallic? In good company with the Queen’s and Highwaymen! The book is a nice touch. The food looks amazing. A great cut of Turkey. Rubbing shoulders with celebs and ghosts! The surroundings on the Pennine Way really set the imagination going. A booster seat for Alan! Shame they weren’t more accommodating of Mrs Metalman given the notice you gave them! Great place for stargazing on a clear night! 👍
That's was the only down side, no snow, as I would have loved to have gotten snowed in for 3 days up there lol. No complaints about the food on the evening this time for me, it was amazing and real filling too, I was stuffed by the time I had finished it. I can see us going back there again in the future. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, nice stay that and enjoyed the stories of the old landladies even if one had a loaded pistol, nice showing us the bar area with the Christmas decorations and lights, think good staff are quite hard to find these days so she must be a jewel, enjoyed the video and have you and your family a great Christmas, cheers nigel
Thanks Nigel and a Very Merry Christmas to you too. We enjoyed our first overnight there and would go back again in the future but may well leave it to a warmer and drier day lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
1:59 Thank you ...... 2:25 Very cozy .... 5:25 All the necessities ..... 11:30 That look's really great ..... 12:25 That's great to hear .... 14:40 That look's really inviting ..... 15:20 Glorious ..... 17:40 Excellent ..... 22:35 Excellent review ..... I'm glad that your stay was a good one.
Thank you very much and we really enjoyed our stay there, a real feeling of isolation up there and totally off grid too, which I loved. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great place to stay and spend some time. Everything looks so cozy and the place has interesting history. And of course, we're already used to seeing food in your videos that really looks delicious and plentiful.
No complaints about the food or the room, we both enjoyed out time there and felt really warm inside too and it was very cold outside, especially the morning despite the sun being out. Thanks so much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow Alan that's very high up but so beautiful, the building is lovely and I loved the stories of the landladies from the past haha watch out for Susan Peacock and her revolver and don't use a mobile phone 😄 Your room looked really nice and I liked the views, it snows a lot there, definitely in the middle of nowhere so it's good that your room was warm. Your food looked really delicious and quite a few celebrities have been there including ghosts ! I would be like Mrs M, I would be scared to stay there ! Such a gorgeous place and the moors would be great to walk on . Really informative and helpful review. Fantastic looking place to stay 👍~ Anna
Thanks very much for watching Anna and we both really enjoyed the stay there and you do really feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, something that really appealed to me. I love a place of a bit of history and a few characters as well, just pleased that some of those characters were not in charge now lol. Take care, cheers Alan
Wow that’s an awesome place. Absolutely love it. Had some nasty weather to start but the next morning was pretty. I love the history of the place and the coziness of the dining area. The bathroom was really nice and the tub was calling my name. Ha ha ha. Thanks for bringing us along. Stay safe my friend. 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Don and we had a great tome there, you really do feel completely cut off up there and when you snows...you are lol! Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Fantastic work once again Alan, place looks so enjoyable and cozy! I could spend a few days here, I like that there is absolutely nothing around! It looks like some wilderness hundreds of kilometers away from civilization!
You really do feel isolated up there but for me that is part of the attraction, we both enjoyed our stay there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
We really enjoyed it, only shame was there was no snow, as I would have loved 3 nights snowed in up there lol. Nice and cosy feel to the place and that evening meal was amazing. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
That tub in your room looked super cool! That is definitely an interesting place to stay at! Being out in the middle of nowhere has its perks and disadvantages, I am sure! I'm glad you came back and enjoyed your stay!
We both loved it and you get a real felling of isolation up there, feeling miles from anywhere. The history of the place totally blows my mind and you can really feel it especially in the old bar area. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Looks like a great place to stay Alan. Room looked very comfy and the whole place cosy overall. Passed by a few times but I have never been in. Another for the list!
Absolutely, we loved it there, real sense of isolation up there, totally cut off, which was a major attraction for me. Loved the food and history of the place and despite it being baltic outside, it was nice and cosy in the bar and our room. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow, I would be in hospital having my stomach pumped after 13 pints lol. Canny breakfast but the evening meal we had was amazing, I really enjoyed that. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Ooh, it's bleak outside ... but very atmospheric! It looked so welcoming as you stepped inside. I love to see a roaring fire. Glad to see they had a snow plough parked outside, just in case! A very nice room with a wow bathroom! I enjoyed hearing about the Inn's famous historic visitors. A great in-depth review, Alan. Merry Christmas to your and Mrs Metalman ☃🎄
Glad you enjoyed it and a Very Merry Christmas to you all as well. It did feel very cosy inside indeed and the evening food was very plentiful indeed, so no complaints from us, we both had a great time there. Real nice of you to stop by, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, we have never visited here. Di look a little bleak, but yur room looked lovely. Amazing bath tub. Your meal looked yum. Beautiful views over the hills. Poor Mrs Metalman , I think I would have felt awkward too. Great video, take care x Julie and Tony x
Glad you enjoyed it and we sure did, had a really good time and despite it being freezing outside it was nice and cosy inside the Inn and our room. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, Fabulous review!👌. This looked right up our street, we must visit and maybe stay over sometime. We love a place with such a lot of history, and in the middle of nowhere with nothing else to do but walk, eat and drink, sounds like the perfect getaway!🤩👏. Your room looked lovely, plenty of character, and wow, that bathroom was impressive! The bar area looked so christmassy and welcoming 🎄. Maybe not if the rudest landlady was on duty😂. Loved hearing the stories about her, i wonder what she would have made of you tubers, we all need to watch our go pros don't get shoved in the jar at the tan hill😂😮. The food looked amazing, but it is a shame they were not more accommodating of mrs metal man, given the prior notice. All in all though, still looked like a lovely stay. Those domes would be a lot of fun in the summer too😊 🏕. Thanks for taking us along! Have a great weekend, Shell and Pete 😊🎄👍
Thanks very much for watching and yes, we had a great time but maybe not as much if some of those old landladies were still there. I would love to stop in one of those domes, especially on a crystal clear nigh, the stars would be amazing up there, cheers Alan
Looks like a nice place - 11:06 very beautiful dining area. Glad that you enjoyed the food. Sounded tasty and generous. 11:28 😅 haha!!! 17:35 what a nice KUDOS to a gem of an employee!
Oh yes, credit where credit is due and that young lass was brilliant and a very nice evening meal too, really enjoyed that and the whole stay to be fair. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It was great, you felt really isolated, which for me is part of the attraction of stopping there, just a shame it did not snow and we got snowed in for 3 days, as happened before. Appreciate you stopping by and hope you are well brother, cheers Alan
Glad you enjoyed it and that evening meal was amazing, I really enjoyed that, no complaints about food there from me lol. Good of you to watch, cheers Alan
Brilliant...your room looks first class mate...had a few pints up there over the years...we keep saying we should stay for a night....last time we were up there, Jethro tulls, Ian Anderson was in the bar as he performed there the night before...great stuff.
Oh nice one, I real have really enjoyed that as I was a Tull fan right back in the 60s, so that was a bonus. We really enjoyed out stay and that evening meal I had was spot on - yum! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Good review that Alan. Room looked good to me. Unusual bathroom. Views across the moor looked bleak. Enjoyed hearing the history of the place. A shame to hear that they hadn’t considered gluten free options despite the advance notice. No way Kim would stay in a dome with a shared bathroom either. Good honest review. Well filmed and put together. Top job. 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks very much for watching Paul and we really enjoyed out stay, it was freezing outside on both days but nice and cosy inside and that evening meal was amazing, I really got stuck onto that, cheers Alan
Fallen Kingdom, yes, its a great track by a superb composer as well, I am a massive fan of Whitesand, a really talented guy. Thanks you very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, very good of you. Cheers Alan
Don't stray from the path up on the moors 😂. I've been to Tan Hill a few times, but it will probably been with the previous landlord and landlady. The food looked good and the room looked fantastic. A shame there weren't any clearly labelled gluten-free options on the menu, and you had to ask. This is where the likes of Spain is way ahead of us. Restaurants have to provide GF dishes by law. I'd say it's easier in Spain to find GF options than vegetarian ones! A shame also that the service wasn't quite up to scratch. I can see you going back for the dome review. 😉
Yes but it may be a single dome review as it is not for Mrs Metalman sharing bathroom facilities. never knew that about GF in Spain and yes, it should really have been sorted out for her, especially as I had given them a weeks notice. Thanks very much for watching Andy, cheers Alan
Shame about The Kirkstone Pass Inn, used to enjoy a pint in there and about 2 years ago I met a mate there to doing a couple of Wainwrights on an awful day, we got absolutely soaked through to the skin so looking forward to a drink in front of the log fire at the Kirkstone Pass Inn but devastated to find it was closed when we got down lol. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, cheers Alan

Great video, Alan. The room looked fabulous 👌 very nice break for you both. Food looked delicious 😋 😍
Thanks so much! 😊 the food was amazing on the evening and not often I am stuffed but I was after that lot lol :o)
Fantastic work once again Alan, place looks so enjoyable and cozy! I could spend a few days here, I like that there is absolutely nothing around! It looks like some wilderness hundreds of kilometers away from civilization!

Nice video Alan. Wishing you a fantastic week ahead 😊
Thanks, you too! Real good of you to take the time to stop by, cheers Alan
Looks a great place to stay, will have to look that place up myself😊
Thanks for the awesome review Alan.

Had me 50th birthday there ... 13 pints of Old Peculier and a lovely steak and belting breakfast...
Wow, I would be in hospital having my stomach pumped after 13 pints lol. Canny breakfast but the evening meal we had was amazing, I really enjoyed that. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
the weather is beautiful
It looked nice the next day but it was freezing cold. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Glad you enjoyed it and real good of you to watch and take the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
It looks like the end of the world outside. But inside it looks so nice. Interesting place for sure 😊
It sure was and the history of the place blows my mind, we both really enjoyed our night away there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
My family are from the mountains here in SW Virginia , and that is my kind of place to spend a couple of days. 👍
It was great, you felt really isolated, which for me is part of the attraction of stopping there, just a shame it did not snow and we got snowed in for 3 days, as happened before. Appreciate you stopping by and hope you are well brother, cheers Alan
thanks for sharing this great video my friend
Thank you too John, always appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Great vid Alan, never been there.
Room looked nice 👍🏻 and that giant Yorkshire with turkey had us drooling 🤤
Glad you enjoyed it and that evening meal was amazing, I really enjoyed that, no complaints about food there from me lol. Good of you to watch, cheers Alan

Thanks very much for watching Paul and we really enjoyed out stay, it was freezing outside on both days but nice and cosy inside and that evening meal was amazing, I really got stuck onto that, cheers Alan
a very cosy pub perched up high on the P/W.the room looked spot on 👍some good landlady stories😲 the only downside is you didn't get snowed in 😂
Haha, I know, I was kind of hoping we would, as that really would have made a really good video lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Always enjoy your hotel reviews Alan - like 172 with a fv as always
Thank you, we had a great time there, and felt totally cut off from the world as well. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
This is a well made video. Looks like a great place. It was very interesting to watch. Many greetings 😀
Thank you very much, we both had a really good stay there and would go back there again for sure, cheers Alan

Used to go often on the bikes fyi the lovely back ground music “ fallen kingdom by whitesand “.

Interesting, the 2nd highest "The Kirkstone Pass Inn" is permanently closed.
Shame about The Kirkstone Pass Inn, used to enjoy a pint in there and about 2 years ago I met a mate there to doing a couple of Wainwrights on an awful day, we got absolutely soaked through to the skin so looking forward to a drink in front of the log fire at the Kirkstone Pass Inn but devastated to find it was closed when we got down lol.
