Summary
The Fernandez family’s comfortable Victorian country house, set down a sweeping driveway, is still going strong after three decades, serving “consistently good” British food with a twist (including, latterly a monthly changing tasting menu); be sure to “get plenty of exercise during the day”, as portions err on the generous size.

Summary
This Victorian country house on the slopes of Skiddaw, owned and run by the Fernandez family for 30 years, makes a perfect base for exploring the Lake District: “the food is good and hearty” (including from “a monthly changing tasting menu”), “the staff are well-trained” and the “very affordable” wine list is “a real treat for Iberian fans”.
Summary
“This lovely hotel tucked away in the north-western Lake District ticks all the boxes”; “the food is exceptional” – now including oft-changing tasting menus – and “the wine list (long the star asset) remains a real treat for Iberian fans”. Just “make sure you exercise before dinner!”
