The more casual (and vividly hued) dining option at this hotel owned by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire turns out “good food” of a brasserie bent, featuring plenty of produce grown on the estate and in the hotel’s kitchen garden. A “great open-plan wine cellar” and terrace add to its charms.

The “good brasserie food” in this more relaxed – and considerably more affordable – option than the formal Burlington restaurant at the “splendid Devonshire Arms Hotel” on the Bolton Abbey estate, makes for a “great experience in a great location”.

The less formal option at this grand ducal hotel also benefits from a terrace on sunny days with sweeping views of the Dales. Limited but good feedback last year on its wide-ranging and affordable brasserie menus: fairly standard fare, bolstered by a range of steaks and above-par cheeses. There’s a cut-down wine list, but the full selection is also available if the occasion demands it!

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
