The best restaurants serving British food in Windermere Applethwaite and Troutbeck South Lakeland North West

2 night stay at the hotel with tasting menu the first night and breakfast both days. Views are incredible and can be seen from the front of the hotel, outside seating area, some of the indoor breakfast tables and some of the hotel rooms. Our hotel room was a double room (fell view), lovely sunrise view from the large windows, plenty of space and storage, comfy bed. The full English breakfast was lovely. Tasting menu had 5x courses plus bread and canapés. Delicious meal and staff very friendly. Lovely lounge area with topped up fire place. Good location for getting to Windermere and around during the day by a short car journey. My one pointer would be the heating in the bathroom was stuck on full blast, I appreciate these old places are prone to damp but it did feel a bit wasteful. Overall lovely stay and will be back

Do NOT STAY in the family room room 12!! i checked in late with my 2 grandsons, bedding clean but.....see photos everything else is terrible, only 1 member of staff and she is on the bar. Too late and no spare rooms as its bank holiday. Will not have a shower until im home!

The Queens head has a great menu and the food was 5*. A lovely warming pub with fantastic food and drinks. The roaring fire and views to die for makes your evening so much better after exploring the lake district. Have come back 3 nights in a row. The staff alike are so accommodating and friendly. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Went for afternoon tea. Lovely venue and pleasant staff but the Afternnon tea was dissapointing, the single very lonely pig in a blanket was nice..but no sandwiches, little bits of fancy coloured cakes. No nutritious value. Not my cup of tea i'm afraid and had to go looking for somewhere to eat after we left. And £60 for the experience☹🤣..that is 3 exellent afternoon teas for 2 at our local cafe still in the lakes!.. but it is the lakes after all...££££££££££££££££££.
