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!

What a great find, lovely place and Lynn was a fantastic host, great food, down to earth atmosphere, food was spot on and plenty of it… highly recommend. Even let me charge my phone… superstars…. Duane and Ben… (big burrito ideal after climbing Helvellyn.)

We ordered Hummus, vegetable moussaka and a Greek salad. The food was amazing. Our waitress (who was from Madrid) was terrific. Prices were very reasonable. Good ambiance.

Fantastic! I’m a regular visitor to this shop and I’ve never bought anything that hasn’t been perfect. From the “Cumberland curl”, a variety of marinated chicken breasts, lamb joints, bacon (including treacle and breakfast), a variety of different pies, “chilli growlers”, marinated lamb shanks and so the list goes on. Absolutely first class. I’ve been nudged into writing this review after my husband tried their new spicy lamb pie. He said it was “excellent” with “great spices”. All this with such friendly, professional, informative service. All I can say is if you’re in Windermere don’t miss a visit.

Super tasty Korean inspired sandwiches and great coffee. You can tell the owners care about trying to create something great and unique. So all in all, just the sort of place you want when you need a sandwich and/or coffee. Thanks guys!!

Great coffee, cake and ice cream visit. Everything we saw delivered to other people looked great, we regretted having had breakfast already. Lovely staff. Beautiful location, and handy when visiting Townsend.

We had a gorgeous meal in Oaks restaurant. A 3 course feast that started with Coquilles St Jacques (a wonderful mixture of scallops and potato) main was perfectly cooked lamb and, to finish, Creme Brûlée. My fellow dinner guests all had something different but every plate was clear and a lot of contented nodding was going on. Bravo!

So happy I found this little van of treats after a long dog walk. It was based at the National Trust site and the guy who runs it, and his friendly dog, were really nice. I'm a fussy coffee consumer but his coffee was really great, and the vegan offerings made by his wife were truly delicious....and very filling as they are generous portions! The cinnamon bun and the oreo cookie were gorgeous but my favourite was the choc flapjack. Unfortunately I had to share it with my husband so I very much plan to stop by here again the next time we are up in the Lakes and treat myself again. Thank you!!

Beautiful venue but a whole host of wedding problems. We got married at Broadoaks in November and had problems almost from the time of booking. When we reached out to the venue to come to a resolution we were offered a free of charge one night stay which when compared to the list of problems we experienced does not match up. When we highlighted that we had not received multiple things that were in the contract we were told that this wasn't their problem as the contract was with the previous owners and not themselves, although the contract states 'Broadoaks' and no specific owners. Please see below for the list of problems. - When we were sent the contact the price was £750 morethan what was agreed, Broadoaks stated this was an 'error' and corrected it. - After booking and confirming everything Broakoaks stated that the times they had advised for the ceremony and the evening were not compatible. - We sought clarification from Broadoaks that we would have exclusive use and allow for set up time, this didn't happen and subsequently we struggled to set up due to stragglers from the day before. - We were advised that there was on site parking for 100 cars, this isn't true and includes local lanes. - 9 months before the wedding we received an email stating that the price of food packages would be increasing, despite us having in writing that this wouldn't be happening. - there was often delays in confirming that deposits have been received. - When we added the garden suites onto the booking, once again the price was incorrect on the contract. - 2 days before the wedding we received several phone calls from the venue confirming things that we had submitted on paperwork weeks prior that we had been rushed to submit because of the coordinator going on holiday. * Day of wedding Problems * - When the groom arrived the member of staff was rude to the groom when he queried why there was still the wedding party from the previous day on site. - The retreat had been booked for the bride to get ready, it was not ready and the Bride had to wait on the drive for 30 minutes with guests arriving, despite the plan for getting the key being discussed at length in the planning meetings. The staff never brought the key down. - The floors of the retreat were covered in bleach water which discoloured both the bride's dress and the wedding shoes. - The groom's getting ready room was also not ready for 1300 despite being one of the 'guaranteed' rooms. - Halfway through the day the wedding coordinator changed to someone the bride and groom had never met, this caused multiple problems, including not enough cake being served. Several Guests questioned if this was the first wedding this coordinator had ever done. - Staff were stretched over multiple areas, leaving the guests having to ring a bell to summon bar staff and waiting for a while to check in. - When the staff cleared up the Brides veil got stuffed into a box with the cake knife and dirty cake decor, damaging it and staining it. - One of our guests had severe hazelnut allergy, this was highlighted in EVERY planning meeting we were assured that there would be no hazelnuts on site. There was Nutella served at breakfast. This caused the bride and the groom having to rush to collect it before anyone opened it. - the personalised news of the day and order of the day was not provided at all despite being in the contract.

A very busy Italian in centre of Windermere. Seems not to take bookings, you turn up and wait (if necessary.) for a table to be free, sitting outside if necessary. Tho food is also served outside. Menu typical UK Italian. We had very generous portion of duck; too full for a pudding. Although very busy, service was quite swift

Alot of the local eateries seem to pride themselves on the atmosphere they have. This one seems to be no different, as it does have a very homely, warm feel. The food is good without being spectacular. The drink selection is quite good and is probably what will keep you here longer than expected.
