Reviews in Cumbria and Lake District

I enjoyed my visit to the Lake District very enjoyable, there was lots of lovely cafe's and restaurants. But i thought that the Brambles Tea room in Windermere was very lovely, it had lovely food, service and an ideal location.

Classy four-star hotel with a fantastic lakeside setting. There's a fine dining restaurant and a brasserie and we opted for the latter with it being a hot summer's day. Imaginative menu. If the weather is good, don't miss out on a drink on the terrace.

I have never written a review before but after our lunch today I felt compelled to tell everyone about my experience. Honestly words cannot describe this hotel. I went to the hotel for lunch eager to sample the new local dishes I had heard so much about. The food was superb, the views are the best I have ever seen and the service was second to none. I don't think I will ever be able to take my girlfriend anywhere else after this experience. What a shame!

One of the best places I have been to! Stunning views of Lake Windermere with food and service to match!

I visited the Badger on Sunday following a trek up Loughrigg and a swim in the lake. Very good location away from the hustle of Ambleside town on a hot sunny day. We sat outside in the beer garden enjoying the calm. Great pub and very very old!!

We visited the Coot on the Tarn on a Sunday and the place was very busy booking required. We were greeted pleasantly and the service was very good. The setting and surrounding landscaped gardens were exquisite and I would recommend a visit to anybody.

Indiagate is a breath of fresh air! Contemporary and colourful surroundings, exceptionally attentive and well mannered staff and food to match. The dishes are full of the fresh ingredients you would expect but so rarely find. The staff always try to temp you away from the usual 'safe' dishes and you really should trust them- you'll be pleasantly surprised! 10/10

The best lunch out I've had in 2006, no doubt!

sensational food at a v reasonable price. great menu , meal from start to finish was superb. staff friendly and attentive but not overly so. the bill is served hidden in an old book( nice touch )and i liked that there was no obvious hints for gratuities but the quality of food & service certainly should be (and were) rewarded

I enjoyed a great meal at the Queens Head at Hawkshead, good hearty British fayre!

This is a great place for lunch and to buy treats for your own larder!

I think the views from the restaurant windows are the best of any in the UK. And as the restaurant has had a Michelin star for years it makes this place a real special treat!

This is a tip top establishment in troutbeck. The place is spotless and has been restored with great attention to detail. The food was excellent and had professional service to match and to cap it all its situated in beautiful surroundings! A great place to stay or just eat

We have dined here for two consecutive years, and are looking forward to next year. We highly recommend this restaurant. The welcome, service and food were amazing.

The staff and owners were very welcoming. The food is excellent. Service was excellent.

Another top quality lunch, excellent value at £25 (3 courses plus appetiser and pre desert) A really good way to try out L?nclume without breaking the bank...guaranteed you?l be back to try the "big one" 10/10

Great curries from a well established restaurant.

Superb five course dinner. Beautifully presented and wonderful food. Some of the best ranges of wines and other drinks I have ever seen in a small Hotel. I will certainly make a return visit.
