Fabulous food, Chris the Chef makes the most delicious breakfast not to mention pies! A really warm and friendly chap with a great sense of humour, nothing is too much trouble for him. The campsite has spotless first class facilities, with wifi reaching to the tent pitches (if you need it) lots of space between (levle) pitches. Location is beautiful, situated by a river, with scenic walks. We stayed for 3 nights, every member of staff so friendly and helpful, really wonderful experience, can't recommend this place enough - we will be back soon !

We camped here over the weekend. Wow I have been so impressed with the whole experience here! Firstly £25 a night cheap as chips The grounds (pitches) are level and clean. Showers, toilets are so clean and fresh. There's a river running to the side with trees all set in love little valley. There's also a park for the children too. The staff are all so helpful and eager to please. MOST OF ALL!!!! The Chef Chris was/is great. There's a guy who loves his job. To be honest Chris made our weekend special. He went out of his way to prepare us special off the menu food (all fresh from local suppliers) The kids loved their omelets. The cooked breakfast was exceptional and the chicken schnitzel was bloody gorgeous. All made fresh on the spot! Last we saw him he was making fresh dough for his pizzas 🍕😁 He has a wicked sense of humour 🤣 I'm a chef so I appreciate the lengths Chris goes to to produce this type of food! All in all situated in the beginning of your adventure in the lakes. The place gets a 100% 👍 from us. Thanks guys see you soon 😊 The Shepherd family

Me las arreglé para persuadir a la señora de que saliera a tomar un trago rápido, para que yo pudiera ver el deporte en la televisión, lo cual solo estaba de acuerdo con la promesa de probar algunas de las tartas que se ofrecían. Definitivamente no decepcionaron; los pasteles eran excepcionales al igual que el resto de la comida, y tanto la comida como la bebida estaban muy bien de precio. Un ambiente muy relajado y un entorno confortable hicieron que la tarde fuera realmente agradable.

Called with my daughter for lunch. We are members of the club and go to most of the home games but have never called to eat at other times. We didn’t arrive till 1.45 but they serve lunch till 3.00pm. I had the All Day Breakfast washed down with a couple of pints of local Top Knot bitter. My daughter had the Black and Amber Wasps burger washed down with a pint of Aspalls cider. The food was excellent and obviously freshly cooked. With friendly staff I couldn’t fault it and will return again very soon.

We were looking for somewhere to stop for a bite to eat on our way up to the Lakes. We came across the River Bela cafe and certainly weren't disappointed! A lovely little place with friendly hosts and delicious food. All this and dog friendly too, which is a must for us. We had the lovely home baked, hand carved ham sandwiches. On the way back home 2 days later we couldn't resist calling in again, this time for a lovely cooked breakfast - scrumptious! We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family.

Whilst trying to amuse my two young son's on a recent visit to Cumbria I took them to the vintage farm. And while that itself is great the real highlight was The Chicken Shed cafe on the site. The food is lovely with the homemade cakes being among the best I have ever tasted. The lady who runs the place is a great host and when my 9 year old cheekily asked for a beer she passed him a bottle of child friendly shandy that made his day. There's also a wide variety of homemade ice cream available which was music to the ears of my 6 year old (and me). Even if you don't fancy visiting the farm itself the food and hospitality at The Chicken Shed is worth seeking out.

Wow! What a fabulous experience from start to finish! We visited for my friend’s 40th and everything was perfect! Location, service and food- just beautiful! I have coeliac disease and they were so attentive and careful and went out of their way to ensure I didn’t miss out on anything. I even had different kinds of bread- believe me, this is wildly unusual for anything GF and I felt so special! All of the food was divine. I ate the lot, but totally regretted the sugar rush later on when I had a two hour drive home :-) Everything was perfect - the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had!

So I’m not normal one to leave a review, that being said overall I was hugely disappointed with the meal I had at the Knipe Grill at Gilpin Lake House. Firstly - we were show to our table and and iPad dropped on the table. Yes this is a menu and yes I can work and iPad. But with the hotel boasts 5 stars I expect a little more interaction. -With an experienced chef David with many an accolade, unfortunately I was underwhelmed. You quote “My food is fun, there’s always a bit of a story behind it, a bit of nostalgia and playfulness” Sadly there was no story no fun. This was primarily down the the service and the lack of engagement, talking us through the menu, championing and highlighting locality, seasonally and recommendations. The level of service we received for the price paid just wasn’t up to standard. - and finally whilst I know this is a hotel with a hot tub, there is something about having a group of people in bath robes walking through the restaurant heading to the hot tub a little strange. I wouldn’t expect this from a restaurant in a 3 star Spanish hotel, let alone a 5 star very expensive hotel/restaurant in the lakes In summary the restaurant's inexperience staff led to poor service, which significantly impacted the dining experience. The lack of knowledge and attentiveness resulted in frustration and dissatisfaction. While the food showed potential, it ultimately fell short of the expected standard considering the price paid. Overall, the combination of what seemed like inexperienced staff and underwhelming food quality makes this restaurant a less than satisfying choice. Sorry for this review but unfortunately this is a true reflection of my/out experience.
