The Eskdale Lodge is a small private hotel but the bar and dining room are open to non-residents. Built as a private house, it was converted to hotel use in 1958. It has been run by the Smith family since 1988. The ground floor has a dining room to the right, a lounge to the left and a bar and TV room at the back. There is also a cellar bar, which can be booked for meetings or parties, and a beer garden at the rear.
