    A glass-topped table made from a wind-felled tree sits at the centre of the dining room in this gothic Lakeland mansion, which sets the tone nicely. The kitchen garden and local farms drive the menus, and the team forages too, so what arrives on the plate is very much from this particular valley. Four and eight-course Modern British tasting menus, including a vegetarian version. One Michelin star.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Waldorf salad

      “not least in his ‘Waldorf salad’, a supremely crispy and sweet one-bite morsel that comes ahead of the desserts”

      National Restaurant Awards, 2026
    • Salt-aged hogget

      “Menus change regularly but might include a tartare of local Dexter beef with whipped bone marrow, caviar and oxalis picked that morning from the garden; and salt-aged hogget served a number of different ways.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
