Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

An excellent lunch(and a delightful stay) marred by the fact that we were the only guests here. With the staff out-numbering you by at least 5/1 it makes for an eerie time. Fair play though, the food was top drawer and the views stunning.

We stayed at The Log House for Two nights and ate there one of the nights. The food was wonderful, top marks for the chef. The staff and sevice were exceptional. The breakfasts served were very good, the quality was second to none. We have stayed at many of the Lake districts Hotels and Guest Houses and would put this at the top of our list.

Visited this Restaurant on one of these recommendations lived in area, never been. Wife and I were made to feel welcome as we arrived it was clear many of the guests knew the staff. We had a drink in the very comfortable lounge area and made our choices from the menu. As soon after a short while we were shown to our table. I did not realise the place was so big yet so cosy. Our meal was exquisite excellent food presented simply My wife had Gressingham duck cooked pink at the owners recommendation and I had Fillet steak. The like of either we had never experienced they where fantastic and to be recommended. The sweets were also fantastic clearly made to order as well. We could not manage cheese but the board looked incredible. We had coffee in the lounge afterwards even the coffee was remarkable. It was our anniversary and we had a truly magical evening.

Brilliant for families, made us really welcome, blew balloons up for our baby. Excellent caring service

The history of the building has most of the interest along with the construction of the restaurant. After selling the Windermere Hydro Hotel 1956, Charles Suiter Sutherland leased the sixteenth century building from the Patterson family and began to remove what had been the military phone centre covering the Sunderland Flying boat construction on the lake during WW2. It took almost a year to clear out the place and cut doors through the eight foot thick stone centre wall. The fireplaces, one being an Adam, were collected from the castle being covered by the rising waters of Hawes Water. The front windows are five hundred years old with some actual first glass inserts. The place was sold in 1960 and has gone through several structural changes over the years.

Great real ales, fantastic value food and good choice. Two course Sunday lunch at £6.95 is great value. Staff very friendly and service very quick.

Fantastic upmarket B+B!

The string beans were to die for!

A fabulous meal, with a great selection of dishes from traditional to bordering on the exotic, with ample portions to boot! A fabulously intimate atmosphere with an impeccable service delivered with good humour - an entertaining night it was!

The Lamb Henry is the best we've ever had. In fact we've never had a bad meal or bad service at Brantwood and always take friends/relatives here when they visit us.

The food was absolutely excellent. Cannot fault a thing. Its not cheap but its also not the most expensive place I've been to and you definitely get what you pay for.

service was fantastic, friendly and welcoming will definately be returning next time in the town! highly recommended.

Giannis is a great restaurant. You are made to feel at home and the food is lovely and inexpensive.

Excellent night out. Would recommend to anybody wishing to have a good night.

Having been to Beswicks on several occasions no visit to Broughton in Furness would be complete without. The whole experience is lavish without costing the earth. Far superior to any of the pubs around, although they are very good, Beswicks is in a class of its own.

Always know your going to have a lovely meal everytime you visit. My favourite place to eat out locally. Nice atmosphere and very good value for money. I would recommend everyone try Beswick's you won't be disappointed.

Lovely food - don't be put off by the 'simple' menu - this chef knows his stuff! Sauces were excellent, the ham hock is absolutely delicious - the best ham I've ever had - but you have to be very hungry to eat a whole one! Generous portions. We stayed several nights and were never disappointed. Real beers too.

We love the real ales in this pub and the service is very good. We did have a dodgy meal on our previous visit but it was a lot better this time around. As pub grub goes, it? very nice!
