Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

We had an afternoon tea, was absolutely delicious. The service and food was A** we would definitely come again.

We recently enjoyed Afternoon Tea at Cedar Manor. The service was excellent, very personable but not imposing and the food was delicious. Very fresh and tasty. We will definitely return. Thank you!

Spent 6 days staying in Aikton & visiting Cumbria ate here 3 times & we both had 3 different meals all fantastic especially steak pie

Fabulous meal, staff extremely friendly and helpful. An all round terrific evening.

Fantastic food and good selection on menu. Staff were attentive and helpful and social distancing was in place. Thank you very much!

The Pheasant is now under new ownership, part of a pub group, and it’s very much the end of an era, I’m afraid. I suppose if you’ve never been before and your expectations are basically pub food and a room for the night in a quieter part of the Lake District then it fits the bill – albeit at the pricier end of the spectrum. But the charm, the fine dining, the decent wine list, the hidden gem in the north Lakes – it’s all gone. Such a shame.

Beautiful modern and stylish cafe in the Heaton Cooper Art Studio. Great food and location in Grasmere with outside tables

Excellent food and service, couldn't fault anything.... Tables socially distant too... Will definitely be returning and recommending.

Lovely immaculate place with great food!

Nice vibe to the place. Absolutely loved the food. Didn’t have any pie but the burger was fab. The coq au vin also looked good. Great puddings too. Sponge and custard on another level. Service is exceptional. Hopefully back soon.

We chose this pub because we had very little local knowledge, but it had a good website with gluten free items clearly identified. We booked for a party of six, three generations, for a Saturday evening. On an evening when there was a storm raging and the roads half flooded, we were astonished to find a pretty full pub; it shows something about its popularity. All the meal choices were most enjoyable and reasonably priced. I would particularly like to point out the gluten free sole and similarly delicious Eton mess. A place to go to.

Lovey food, great Sausage and Mash. Only downside was that the whole place was not warm and could have done with the heating being on.

Fantastic bottomless brunch, i had Sausage Benedict and it was so tasty & filling, service was great and our waiter was very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

I stayed here this weekend on a DBB. When we arrived, the receptionist showed us where everything was on the ground floor which looks fabulous since the refurb a little while ago. We went up to our room which was on the second floor and overlooked the gardens and lake. The room was spacious with a massive bed and was very clean and had everything that you would need. Dinner that evening was outstanding. We ate tempura prawns & Squid parpadelle which was very tasty, fillet steak for main, medium rare that was cooked to perfection and for dessert, a chocolate marquise and a pistachio marshmallow both of which were amazing! Breakfast the next morning was also great, a full Cumbrian breakfast for us both, not a spot of grease anywhere to be seen and served piping hot! Needless to say, we will definitely be back!!

We stopped by on a very wet Saturday afternoon for lunch, the place was busy but we managed to find a table! To eat we couldn't decide so ordered a few dishes to share. We had the duck salad (this was out of this world! A real taste explosion!) the chilli squid (again cooked to perfection) and the loaded fries (served in their own skillet which kept them piping hot!!) We will definitely be visiting again!!

Booked meal for the 6 of us for my mum's 50th. All I can say is I can't fault the food it was brilliant we all enjoyed it. They've recently has a re-furb, the place looks lush! Already can't wait to go back

Ate here this weekend, lovely place, great job they have done with the interior. We both had the fish finger sandwich which was plenty big and served with crisps and slaw. Would be nice to see some different things on the evening menu as was a little confused as to what the offering was.

Lovely cosy pub, great service. Great food & always good vegetarian selection & everything is very fresh.
