   An excellent experience, food was amazing and would sit well in a Michelin star restaurant. Service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend if your staying at the hotel or in the area. Perfect for a couple or even a small group.

   Dining Room was freezing cold. Felt a bit dated Menu limited but fair. Food good but very small portions and very expensive and over priced Felt like stepping back 40 years in an off season fading hotel Surprised prawn cocktails weren’t on the menu. There was a Malibu desert which made up for it. No butter on flora margarine Good friendly service Hotel felt really tiered and dated In need of serious investment Not good value for money. I’m afraid we will not be going back or recommend if it.

   Had a one night stay heading North to Scotland. No issues, nice quaint place with lots of sitting rooms. Food was good. Staff were chatty and friendly. Would return.

   Unfortunately even though I had prepaid for the meal with the hotel accommodation I did not get to to experience hardly any food because they had a power cut as soon as they served the starter & could not serve us anything apart from a cold sandwich which I understood given the circumstances. The annoying thing was was though is that we was asked if we would like to wait for the power to come back on (which was 1hr) to continue with the rest of the meal & we said yes we would wait & then when the power came on the chef said he could not cook anything as it would take to long, so that is when we were offered a sandwich.

   We came to the restrautant for ‘Afternoon Tea’. & was treated to a table that had the most stunning view of Lake Ullswater & the surrounding hills, the service was attentive which was lovely. Unfortunately the Afternoon Tea did not live up to it the magnificent of its surroundings. Although tea was plentiful we were not given a choice of tea eg.Earl Grey, Assam etc… The balance of savouries to sweet was not good & did not have enough variety. But the absolute downfall was that none of the cakes were freshly made & had just come straight out of a packet. There was a scone which they said had been baked but unfortunately was so large did not really go well with ‘Afternoon Tea’, the jam to go on this was also not of a good quality. Very disappointing!

   Quiet and elegant dining room overlooking the hotel's extensive gardens, with views down to the lake. The menu is traditional British. All the dishes were very nicely presented and the food was to a high standard. An unusual addition to the table was a small freshly baked loaf, cut into four and served hot in a small pot. Delicious with the olive oil and balsamic dip that is served with it. There is a an extensive wine lost to compliment the meal. It was an enjoyable experience!

   Ate there twice during our stay. Thought the menu choice not wide enough, had 2 poor, one average and one good meal but over riding memory is the food and wine is ridiculously over priced.

   Very pleasant meal. Having had a long drive it was good to know that we had a table booked and could just relax. Very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was lovely and warm bread to start was really nice. Overall an enjoyable meal.
