Came for a long weekend with my parents and partner. Lovely spacious room, comfy bed and big bathroom. Did get quite warm but we were in one of the higher rooms so understandable. Breakfast was fantastic, eggs Benedict is my favourite and it was so yummy I had it 3 days in a row! The highlight was the Sunday roast. Huge Yorkshire pudding bigger than my head! We chose beef and lamb with all the trimmings of course. Divine - see pictures. Great stay and would definitely return when venturing back to the lakes! Thankyou x

One of the most interesting pubs I’ve ever had the pleasure of walking into, by chance at that! We have a lovely time sat at the bar chatting to the young barmaid about the pub and the area! She helped as much as possible with recommendations of where to visit despite not being a local( Rydal water was beautiful). Upon leaving there was an altercation where a small dog lunged at the two labourers on their way in. The owner did manage to control their dog. While explaining that the group with the dog would have to leave after the dog showing aggression she was bombarded by the owner of the two dogs that the dog had lunged for (whom never witnessed the lunge as he was ordering drinks) as “dogs will be dogs”. The girl got quite overwhelmed and tried to explain that aggressive dogs could not be in a dog friendly pub. When we left the young lady was in quite a tizzy.

We visited yesterday evening after a day hiking up Helvellyn and we was in need of a pub food fix and after all the amazing reviews we thought we would give this place a try.The quality of the food was amazing we had the pigs in blankets and calamari to start and gammon steak for mains and it was cooked to perfection.The staff and Owner were lovely and we even ended up staying for alot more drinks than we should have due to how friendly the staff were and how amazing the atmosphere in the pub. (Sore heads this morning!!)Highly recommend visiting this place we would rate higher than 5* if we could!

We are regulars here. You can’t get a better breakfast or brunch for miles. There’s always a queue - be prepared to wait, but it’s definitely worth it!

We were a group of seven. Immediately accommodated with excellent attention by our waitress. We all ordered soufflés which were up to the usual high standard. The coffee was delicious, strong and tasty 😋 All in all 10/10 !!

A fairly small, simple and quaint restaurant, but excellent value and delicious Chinese food. The chicken and sweetcorn soup is some of the best I have ever tasted. Well seasoned and the texture is perfect, as often some places make it way too gloopy. The prawn toast had more prawn in it than virtually every other place i have been, furthermore you can tell its homemade rather than the oh so common freezer to fryer ones made with a prawn and chicken mix. The hot garlic beef steak was absolutely divine, so tender and spicy, a standout dish. Only downside, the sweet and sour wasn’t great, I have much better elsewhere, but the rest of the food is so good it doesn’t bother me, I just don’t order it anymore! If you have somewhere to eat at home, there isn’t much advantage to eating out at the restaurant compared to as a takeaway as its a simple setting, but regardless the staff have always been very friendly and catered to our needs well. The best Chinese in Bowness/Windermere and it’s not even close! (And trust me, at the time of writing we have been to them all!)

Lovely hotel, rooms super. Dinning far to expensive for what you get.

Beautiful food! We enjoyed Arancini, fillet steak, sea bass & lasagne. Staff are very pleasant. Also dog friendly. Will definitely visit again. Thank you!

Visited for the second time, this time with kids and grandparents. Lovely food. Hot, tasty and varied menu. Great atmosphere and attentive staff. Would recommend and visit again when in the lakes.

Visited here with my Dad today. Asked for a tea cake and then a scone both not on the menu anymore. I had a bagel with salmon and cream cheese paid over £8 and that was it no sides, no even a bit of salad - didn’t taste great. Dad ordered pancakes in the end 2 tiny pancakes on a dish - still hungry when we left. Not great service either. Disappointed!

The dining room has the wow factor, the staff were friendly and clearly knew their jobs very well. The food was inventive, imaginative and immaculately executed. An interesting wine list with wines to suit all pockets and tastes. An unforgettable Experience with the added bonus of an overnight stay in a quiet room with a view. A sense of peace and restfulness permeates the hotel. Top marks to the staff and particularly to Veronique our waitress who was very informative about our culinary journey. A must visit in the Lakes.

Dined in the Apple Restaurant for 2 nights the food was excellent with a varied menu beautifully presented with a collection of fine wines to accompany the meal their was some nice vegetarian options on the menu which looked very tempting and may try on our next visit We also had on the day of arrival afternoon tea which again was excellent a selection of sandwiches , pastries and desserts and highly recommend trying as an alternative to the restaurant if not dining in the evening.

Good food, excellent awareness and care with an allergy order. Great service with accurate timings when placing order for when order would be ready. Pricing and portions good.
