Inspector comments
"Lakeland country house in prime fell-walking territory."
Overview
Revered Lakeland Fells guidebook author Alfred Wainwright especially loved the Borrowdale Valley, where this classic country house turns out skilfully cooked modern dishes. Extensive use is made of locally sourced meat, including the world famous Herdwick lamb which can be seen grazing here. Panoramic windows in the restaurant offer captivating fell views.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills
