A last minute decision to have lunch before leaving the Lake District for home proved to be the right choice. We phoned at 11.30 enquiring on a lunch booking, we were advised on the telephone that they were serving from the normal lunch menu and not sunday lunch which I was quite pleased about. Access along the drive requires care!... More

Canapes served with pre-dinner drinks was a nice touch. Creative dishes which were full of flavour. Loved the local Herdwick lamb. Slightly disappointed with the cheese selection.....no local cheese, and no grapes, celery or apple to accompany. Not a huge criticism, more a suggestion to think about.

We searched the Web in the hope of finding a place for a special meal and opted for this hotel. We were not disappointed. From entering, we were made to feel welcome and important. The pre-dinner canapés were delicious, and the knowledgeable and impartial advice we were given to help with our choice of wine was very helpful. Once in... More

Had to ask for staff to take my coat 30minutes following arrival for lunch! Ham hock terrine with homemade piccalili for starters followed by breast of guinea fowl on a bed of tasty vegetables,...

I got married at Linthwaite just over 2 years ago, and as I was visiting the Lakes with my parents, we thought we would go for lunch. It was as good as ever, food and service both brilliant. We ate off the new terrace menu, which was varied and the food quite substantial. We actually ate in the restaurant as... More

My partner and I went for a romantic meal here, as I was planning to propose. I could not have picked a better place to do it. The entrance area is inviting and opens up to a roaring log fire, there are a number of cosy little nooks and crannies to sit at before the meal. The place was dressed... More
