Excitement is growing as building of a new premium country inn and hotel for Cumbria nears completion. The Fleece at Ruleholme, near Brampton, has risen from the ground during the pandemic with building work on the multi-million pound project set to finish next month. Opening is planned for June when final lockdown restrictions are due to be lifted. The team at the new venture, which sits alongside the A689, are promising customers a ‘wow factor’ when the doors to the pub, fine dining restaurant, function room and 23 bedrooms are thrown open. Directors David Corkill and Robert Cowan are confident The Fleece will be a hit with customers keen to enjoy eating out and socialising again as the third lockdown eases.
