Dining

The hotel's restaurant holds two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. The menu showcases regional produce such as Cumberland sausage, locally caught trout, and Cumbrian cheeses and chutneys. Guests can also order special diet menus, kids' meals, and wine or champagne from the bar.

The hotel can host both intimate ceremonies and larger celebrations within its grounds. Wedding coordinators are available to manage the event from initial contact through to the day.

The hotel sits on 20 acres of landscaped gardens on the shores of Lake Windermere. A private jetty provides direct access to the lake for walks or boat trips. The grounds include a garden, sun terrace, picnic area, and outdoor furniture for guest use.

Pet-Friendly Amenities
