We recently visited Cottage in the Wood in the beautiful area of Whinlatter forest. After a warm welcome we sat down to enjoy some high quality, well presented locally sourced food. Each course was explained by staff who clearly took pride in their knowledge of each dish.The atmosphere was enhanced
We had our Ruby Anniversary at the Cottage. It was a memory not to be forgotten. The friendly warm and high professional service was at its highest. Rooms were wonderful but Jack Bonds tasting menu was at another higher level. He and is team were constantly visible to explain the wonderful food and
Wonderful warm welcome from Kath and Liam, this is a little gem, couldn't do enough for us. The the food is sensational and the wine pairings were surprising and went beautifully eith every dish. We will definitely be back, thank you so much for a lovely stay.
We came here for a rare night away without our little boy. What an absolute treat from start to finish! Such a warm welcome upon arrival, we dropped our bags into our room and went downstairs for a cocktail and my partner had a local ale. The cocktail was beautiful! I went up to the room afterwards
Amazing location above Braithwaite. We went for the taster menu with wine pairings and were absolutely spoilt. Some delicious wines and beautifully presented and tasty dishes. The lamb was probably my favourite, melt in the mouth! Really friendly staff and hosts felt we were really well looked after
This was my first Michelin star meal, it definitely lived up to the hype and I now understand the distinction. We had 10 courses and each dish was a work of art. Each bite had so many different layers of flavors and there was definitely a science behind getting everything to blend so perfectly. How
Just stayed at this gorgeous place. All the team were fabulous, especially Cath, who made us all very welcome and couldn’t have been more accommodating to our party of six; and Daniel, whose storytelling for each wine was spellbinding We enjoyed the delightful well thought out tasting menu and pair
Friendly and welcoming hosts, delightful staff and service and wonderful ambience. The 7 course tasting menu was preceded by exquisite little "snacks" and every one of the imaginative dishes was cooked to perfection. The accompanying matched wines contained some unusual choices that suited the food
What a lovely restaurant. The tasting menu was well balanced and just the right amount. Particular favourites were the beetroot in blackcurrant, a wonderfully cooked piece of turbot and a tangy cherry dessert. Staff were all friendly and it was very relaxed atmosphere. Wine list wasn't huge but had
Can’t fault this place. From the second we arrived we were made to feel welcome and valued.
food and service is outstanding.
We’ve stayed in many top class hotels all over the world and this place knocks spots of them.
What an excellent experience!!!
The food was superb a real birthday treat. The hospitality and welcome made the whole experience would highly recommend
Beautiful location. Staff very attentive but not overbearing. Food first class and the explanation as each course was served was really helpful. Didn't have to ask for anything ie water automatically topped up, asked if we wanted more bread or more drinks. Rooms very comfortable and spotlessly clean
Beautiful food, course after glorious course. It was suitably decadent but felt healthy as well. How do they make simple bread and butter taste that good? Nicely matched wines that were new to us. Going to seek out a couple of them.
We had the most amazing meal here.
We have eaten at many fine dining establishments, and this is one of a very few that we will happily return to and recommend.
The food was amazing with my favourite being the Hogget. Everything was cooked and presented to perfection, and the staff were very atten
Delicious tasting menu in this lovely family run restaurant. We went in recommendation and it didn’t disappoint.
Very quiet and peaceful surroundings topped off with a lovely meal and breakfast.
Special credit to the excellent Sommelier
Incredible family run restaurant with rooms in the most beautiful location in the lakes. Everyone at the hotel was so welcoming and helpful, and the quality of the food and wine pairing was outstanding.
Just spent two wonderful evenings here for dinner bed and breakfast. Great setting in the woods. Sublime 7 course tasting menu with matched wines, friendly and relaxed atmosphere with informative and helpful staff. Tasty and filling breakfast. Not an everday treat by any stretch but a truly excellen
FANTASTIC. We like to eat out, and we’ve been to some great restaurants, but this was definitely in the top two or three. The service was excellent, the wine pairings were just about perfect, and the food was inventive but accessible and delicious.
Very professional and of a high standard. Food was excellent and the accommodation also.
