A hotel chain has raised hundreds of pounds for charity.

Last month, Lake District Hotels Ltd donated 10p to Blood Bikes Cumbria for every pint of Cumberland Ale sold at the Lodore Falls Hotel and Borrowdale Hotel in the Borrowdale valley, Inn on the Lake in Ullswater, The Skiddaw Hotel, Inn on the Square, Kings Arms Hotel, Back Bar, Casa’s Sports Bar and The Loft Nightclub in Keswick and the George Hotel in Penrith.

The chain sold more than 4,400 pints, raising over £440 for the charity.

Dani Hope, marketing director for Lake District Hotels, said: “Cumberland Ale is one of our top sellers so it seemed only right to include it in our promotion. We always have a selection of cask ales available across our hotels and bars, so if you are passing why don’t you join us for a pint.”

Lake District Hotels Ltd has been raising money for the charity since January.
