10/10, cozy atmosphere, absolutely amazing courses (including the vegetarian tasting menu too), only gripe would be that the pace at the start was good with food trickling out but by the 4th course it got quite slow and we were there got nearly 3hrs which meant my back started to hurt, didn't take away from the lovely evening though. My bf had the wine tasting menu which was a nice touch but the waiter bringing the wine out was very quiet and seemed almost nervous explaining each wine and we didn't really learn anything from it.

We've had some amazing meals at top restaurants all over the world, including a 21 course meal at a three michelin star restaurant, but honestly, I think this one was the best ever. We've been to the Stamp house twice before and as soon as we knew we were coming to the Lakes this weekend, I was on the website at 5am as soon as the reservations for March opened, making sure I could book us a table. We talked to the sommellier about our favourite types of wine and he suggested a few modest ones but we really pushed the boat out and ordered a bottle of Nosotros Malbec, which was utterly amazing. Im going to have to get my wife this for Christmas now ! He was so enthusiastic about this wine that it made it even better. We started with two amuse bouche, my cheese one just melted in my mouth and was so flavoursome. Then wonderful baked hot bread ( I had two ! ) a fish started, an onion tart with broth, three more savoury dishes ( mainly fish as per my request ) and then three amazing desserts, each one creamier and tastier than the last. The final one was macaroons with cream and sauce for me and glazed pineapple cubes for my wife. Her meal was completely vegan and I know shes enjoyed it when I dont get offered any. I didnt get a crumb ! Each dish was a decent size and so full of flavour. Superb presentation and perfect service. We rounded off the meal with a glass of port. The price - under £100. Just amazing. Simply cant wait to go back !

Absolutely first class in every way! The food was fantastic and presented in the most unusual way. Delicate with a huge attention to detail. Two of us weren’t too keen on having the meats on offer for the evening tasting menu. We spoke to the restaurant in advance and we were accommodated without any fuss. We had an extra fish course and delicious vegetarian courses. The restaurant has a sophisticated calmness about it without being pretentious. The furnishings are contemporary and tasteful. The staff were so knowledgeable about the different courses. We also had a letter from the owner, placed on our table, explaining where they source their local ingredients from and other information about the restaurant. A lovely personal touch. The sommelier was extremely helpful whilst we were choosing our wines. He was very professional. In all we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The owner came into the restaurant and spoke to his guests about the different dishes. A lovely personal touch. We will return when we are next in The Lake District. This Michelin * restaurant is a wonderful find.

Wow. What an incredible experience. Feel blessed I got the chance to experience lunch here :) upon arrival you get a letter from the chef , personalised too which is a lovely touch. The whole experience from start to finish was exquisite and a great food journey experience. Inside the letter details each course which I found very interesting, they have taken alot of time for this concept. One of the owners gives out the main course of wagyu which tasted amazing! Definitely tried a few foods I hadn’t ever eaten before and was pleasantly surprised. Who’d have thought beetroot meringue and horseradish went so well! The restaurant was full and it does say online they’re aren’t any bookings until April. However we must have just been exceptionally lucky and I am grateful for that! The bread course was so so good, we would love to be able to purchase some of that! Our waiters were wonderful , very knowledgeable and attentive. The bearded gent who served the wine pairings knew so much about each wine it really was fascinating to hear and we really enjoyed the Italian wine! Thankyou for such an incredible lunch experience. 10/10 would highly recommend.

The dining experience was excellent, with delectable cuisine and an enchanting ambiance in the heart of Ambleside. The menu and overall service were commendable. However, the wine flight was totally overpriced and commenced only after the third course, necessitating an interim beverage. Furthermore, the service staff were upselling an additional cheese course even before dessert was served. This detracted from the overall dining experience. Shame

We dined here last night, it was just perfect, from being taken to our table to walking out. We sat down & there was a letter on the table addressed to us (a lovely personal touch we thought) giving us details about the place and more detail about the food we would be eating, which is all as locally sourced as possible. The staff were really friendly and took time to really talk to you, and yes made you feel that bit special! They gave great details about each course as they served it to us, each course was amazing, I have to be honest and say a couple of things on the menu I was not sure about but wow I soon changed my mind! It was an overall exceptional experience, and we have booked again for February. Pictures are of the fish, meat and one (of the two) of the desserts courses.

We have been waiting to eat at The Old Stamp House in Ambleside for a long time and when we finally made it we were not disappointed. The food was exquisite, the service faultless. The sommelier's choice of wines to accompany the dishes was perfect and quite frankly, unparalleled. It was wonderful to meet Ryan, the amazing chef, when he brought the main course to the table, an excellent idea and welcome addition to the meal. This gave us an opportunity to discuss many topics not solely the food and to discover a number of shared interests... (YNWA!!) Last but not least, we would like to thank Olivia for her warm and friendly welcome, her attentive service throughout and her engaging conversation. We cannot wait to return.

The best meal we had in the Lake District by some considerable margin - and we visited three others at comparable price points, one of which also had a Michelin star. The food was sublime, service friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and un-stuffy, and the surroundings were very nice. Anybody used to dining out in London would be delighted by the uncrowded layout of tables in this historic building. The fact that so many of the ingredients are locally sourced is just a bonus. Highly recommended.

What an eventful weekend we have just had spent with lovely friends. Our very first time in a Mitchelin star restaurant. It took us on a culinary journey (and it was a journey) we will never forget. Old Stone House, which is located in the charming town of Ambleside, gave us the finest cuisine we have ever sampled. Whether you are a foodie or not you can not fail to be impressed. When shown to our table a personalised letter from the chef, Ryan Blackburn, was waiting for us, sealed in wax, what a very special touch. Everything is freshly cooked, locally sourced ingredients all carefully crafted (works of art and I would go as far as to say masterpieces). Service second to non (even the head chef and owner Ryan comes to the table which was a welcome personal touch). It was a lunchtime booking but walking into this hidden gem of a restaurant you would actually think it was evening with the intimate ambiance, the lighting and the beautiful table candles (which weren't actual candles, just exquisitely made pieces of art made in a way that reflected the light to resemble candlelight). We all enjoyed each delicious course that came along, accompanied by a very nice Rioja wine. I was excited to see bone broth on the menu - it's a low carb / intermittent fasting favourite that I actually haven't tried before. It was as delicious as I had anticipated. Who would have thought something so simple could be so damn tasty 😋 After the most amazing dessert we decided to push the boat out and ordered a selection of local cheeses to share, which came with home made biscuits - we paired the cheese with an aged tawny port. What a wonderful experience. Our first Michelin Star restaurant but hopefully not the last.

Well this did not disappoint from the moment we walked through the door. Greeted by the owner who had rang the week before to inform us it was a fixed menu, which we new anyway, he also asked of any allergies and if the meal was for a special occasion, and it was our 25th wedding anniversary. Numerous times throughout the meal waiting staff congratulated us on our anniversary which we thought was a very nice personal touch. We opted for the wine pairing at £60 per head and each of the Severn small glasses of wine were served by the owner with a description and reason it was chosen to be paired with each dish. First three courses were very small appetizers with amazing flavor and set up the rest of the meal perfectly. the crab dish was our favorite and how so much flavor can be packed into this dish is unbelievable. All ten courses were exceptional including the two deserts, the last of which was served on a plate with happy anniversary written very cleverly in chocolate. Absolutely the best restaurant and food experience we have every had and overall very good value for money.

I am not a foodie (whatever that is supposed to mean), my mum was an Irish school dinner lady so we had potatoes and bread all the time. I have been coming to Ambleside once a year for many years and always walk past the Old Stamp but never thought of booking. Recently our local pub (down south) was charging £27 for a main, £9 for dessert plus a service charge, so I thought £55 for a 7-course lunch tasting menu was worth trying at that price. I did not know what to expect and was a bit concerned I would not enjoy the meal but now I do appreciate the difference between pub food and a restaurant with a Michelin star. The service and attention to detail was outstanding and even though the portions are small we were full before the dessert came out. The standout course was the Bay Potted Shrimps, but everything was excellent.

I had lunch at The Stamp House in Ambleside Saturday 22 June, with family and friends. It was a birthday treat and oh my word, was it that and more. I savoured every mouthful of every dish - each one of them amazing. It was a fabulous experience and one I will definitely be repeating. Thank you to the Chef and all the Stamp House team for helping to make my 66th birthday such a memorable one.

We went for brunch service - the restaurant was very quiet due to it being early in the day but the staff were lovely and the food was really very good. We will head back again to try the evening service, definitely. Lots of nearby parking. Good kids menu.

Started our walk up the Cumbria Way with a beautiful breakfast bun at this lovely little cafe. Fantastic service, music and food.

It is a SUPER dog friendly Bed & Breakfast nestled in the heart of Cartmel Valley! The hotel is absolutely stunning & the staff truly make you feel spoilt with their evening turndown service & glass of champagne on arrival. They didn't forget about our dog either, she was also treated like royalty with her orthopedic bed, doggy welcome pack & treats throughout her stay. They even have a doggy shower room which is PERFECT after long walks in the Lakes!!! The breakfast was absolutely delicious and used local products from the area. In the evening we used the complimentary chauffeur service for a lift into the beautiful village of Cartel (we chose to walk back through the gorgeous fields surrounding the hotel). Honestly this was such a beautiful stay.

We booked a room and were greeted by a not-so-polite receptionist who told us that kids are not welcome. “We are adult only”. There was no information about this in the booking confirmation or anywhere visible. They kept saying, “We’ve never had guests with kids before; you’re the only ones.” They just managed to guess the hotel rules somehow. Rude. However, the manager was polite enough.
