The best restaurants in Boltons Allerdale North West

Have eaten here several times now. Woodlands really is a hidden gem. Daryl really is an excellent chef and his food is outstanding. Whenever we stay locally, we try to visit. Give them a go and you won’t be disappointed!!

This place is absolutely amazing. We came here for a birthday trip and I would not hesitate to return. It is VERY dog friendly so if you do not like dogs it may not be the best place. Outside is a dog washing sink which has warm water to wash off muddy paws. On the entrance there are fresh clean dog towels every morning which is fantastic. They will even offer dog beds and bowls if you require them. Every single staff member we came across was so friendly and gave a lot of attention to the dog. The room was small but comfortable. We did ask for a thinner quilt as the one we had was too thick and they were more than happy to accommodate. The lovely lounge area overlooking the scenic view is so peaceful. They have a beautiful lit fire in the evenings and lots of drinks on offer. The breakfast included is absolutely amazing. The continental selection is minimal but the cooked breakfast was fantastic. The options were amendable and they did as much as they could to accommodate you. They even brought a sausage cut up for the dog ! I genuinely think this place is fantastic and i will definitely return. Thank you ravenstone manor for a lovely birthday trip !

This place is an absolute Gem in the Lakes. Room is spotless clean and very cozy, views are amazing. The staff are LOVERLEY. Brett is the face at front of house and works very hard in every area of the business. First class service and truly scrumptious food prepared and cooked by superb chefs. No doubt about it we will definitely return . Well done to your superb staff and management, Jack of all trades.

Excellent and friendly service. Dogs are welcome, but obviously not in the dining room, a table will be set up in the bar if the dog is with you at dinner. The bar is very nice too, the dining room is lovely. Home made liqueurs and home made shortbread in the room is a nice touch, and very tasty. Highly recommended. We will be back for more.

Cosy and friendly atmosphere, good food choices including vegetarian.

Lovely afternoon tea, highly recommended. Atmosphere was so friendly too. Well worth a visit for one of their cups of tea, a secret blend that is delicious.

Main courses were delicious, the only big let down were the deserts, Nutella sundae with whipped cream, it isn't a sundae without ice-cream and sticky toffee pudding with whipped cream, when stated on menu vanilla ice-cream , with no discount because of alternative, should of came out to say they had run out of ice-cream

While staying at the hotel recently we had some extremely well cooked, well presented, reasonably priced meals. I am sure this chef is on his way to many awards in the future.

A warm welcome awaited us for our first visit to this little gem to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We took drinks in the luxurious, beautifully furnished lounge area before moving into the main restaurant for a three course feast of culinary delights. Chalk stream trout and monk tail starters, beef cheek and a beautiful fillet for mains, and a twist on sticky toffee pudding for desert. Staff were warm and attentive throughout. This was exactly the treat we needed and we’d have no second thoughts about returning.

This is a lovely walking area but why this cafe is run like this is strange. Expensive - not great . But I will be honest - don’t solicit business with dog walkers and object to the dogs. Spend money on our dog menu but don’t you dare come in. Not easy for those solo walkers with dogs.

Superb service from Alan and Michael a credit to the company friendly polite and professional, i reserved a table with Alan earlier on day as daughter likes a quieter seating spot and was greeted by Michael when went for meal at 5pm, lovely comfy booth seating and the place was clean and inviting ,ordered from menu and snack sheet and it didn’t take long to arrive,food hot and delicious and drinks spot on, in fact food plenty we got more than we thought so got doggy box to take back to lodge.very full and overall great service all round.Thank you.

Lovely pub. Called with a group of friends for a drink and a bite to eat. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and very attentive. Lovely food and reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone in the area

Muy por debajo del estándar. Mala organización. ¡El viaje en autobús reservado para 4 noches tenía malas opciones de menú para 36 pasajeros de una edad promedio de 70+! El desayuno estaba bien, pero el servicio era lento y desorganizado.

My husband, myself and our 13 year old son visited The Brasserie two days ago on a Saturday evening. We were able to walk from our cottage accomadation to the Brasserie. On arrival to the venue we were very impressed by the beautiful driveway leading down to the Brasserie. The whole establishment is obviously very well kept with beautiful spring flowers and plants and lovely lighting down the drive. On entering the Brasserie however, we were suprised that the decor didnt appear to match the rest of the hotel. We were approached by a friendly waiter on arrival who took our drinks and food order promptly. He checked we were all ok during the first half of our meal and we felt his interactions with us were appropriate, not too overpowering or disinterested. My husband ordered the mushroom stroganoff. He felt it was quite ordinary and bland. I ordered the brushetta and a side portion of fries. I felt the brushetta was overpriced but the fries were beautiful. My son ordered the pizza which he said was really tasty! During the meal.another member of staff( female) arrived and we have to say it was quite an experience! We had ordered a second round of drinks. I had ordere a lakes gin and a small bottle of fever tree ginger ale to mix it with. I was allowing my son to taste the ginger ale from the bottle. The waitress appeared out of nowhere and snatched the bottle from his hand with a resounding"no!" It shocked us all! We reassured her that this was not an alcoholuc drink. She then commented in quite a rude manner when my husband wiped his nose gently on a napkin and also told us later on during the meal that she was used to working in the " posh restaurant". During our meal she stood over us on several.occasions which we felt was inappropriate and a bit unnerving! We felt she would benefit from some more training from more experienced members of staff. We did realise she was young and and was probably trying to.please (.a little too much). We were very patient with her but felt there may be future guests who may not be quite so tolerant! A little later during the evening my husband and our son went to use the toilet closest to the Brasserie. They came back and both told me there was smashed glass on the floor and a dirty nappy. My husband reported this to a member of staff from the spa team. On leaving the Brasserie we walked through to the hotel reception as we were all so concerned about the state of the toilet and wanted to ensure it had been sorted and the message had got trough. The lady on hotel reception didnt appear to know anything about this but we did see her promptly speaking to another hotel member of staff after our conversation. The only other disappointing part to.our meal was the cheeseboard. It sounded fantastic on the Brasserie menu but when it arrived we were informed that some of the cheeses were not available. The waiter did however add a few extra for us but we felt this could have been mentioned before we went ahead with the order. Sadly it was a disappointing experience as it could be a fabulous setting within the grounds of an obviously gorgeous hotel.
