1863 Restaurant with Rooms

Superb! The accommodation and staff were excellent. Thought has gone into every detail and it shows. The food was amazing, and it was so much more than our tastebuds expected and we wer both still talking about it the next day. This is hidden gem that we will definitely return to!

Yet again another wonderful gastronomic experience! Thoroughly enjoyed both the 3 course and the tasting menu, with interesting and intelligent wine pairings that really enhanced the experience. The service was attentive and friendly without being fussy and we felt very well looked after. A real indulgent treat to mark a special occasion,

What a find! We had an excellent stay here - the food was incredible, the room very comfortable and the staff friendly, warm and welcoming. We stopover in the Lake District each year on our way to Scotland. We shall definitely stay here next year!

We stayed one night for dinner, bed and breakfast on a stopover on the way home from Scotland. Great location just a few miles from the motorway but in lovely peaceful Lakes countryside. Dinner was really very very good - the 3 course menu with suggested wines was perfect. The room was very comfortable, super comfy bed - the furnishings throughout were high class. We had the full fried breakfast which was again delicious. Couldn't fault our short stay and all the staff made us feel very welcome. I hope we get the opportunity to stay again.

cosy, comfortable and clean room with lovely toiletries and soft towels. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed meeting them. The food was excellent, which is why we chose this stop over. Often disappointing, but not here! Wine was very drinkable and a treat to find. Reasonably priced, but value for quality and diversity.

We stayed just one night for dinner, bed and breakfast. Our 3 course dinner was amazing; it’s a small menu with little choice, but everything we had was perfect. They also bring a few extra tasty bits and the lightest, tastiest bread ever. Breakfast was more traditional, though with plenty of choice of cooked dishes. We were asked to order the night before and no fresh fruit was on offer, which we found surprising, Our room was a bit small, though very comfortable and clean. All the staff were friendly and professional and the location is superb. Definitely have to come again to enjoy cooking of this quality.

It was such a really lovely, comfortable, clean place to stay. All the staff were friendly and polite and were happy to chat. We decided to eat in the restaurant and the food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the taster menu - what a treat! Breakfast was also delicious - couldn't fault the place.

Beautiful room just perfect for our one night stay. So much attention to detail. We had the seven course tasting menu in the restaurant and it was fantastic, ended up having 10 courses in total! Great food and great presentation. The staff were very attentive

We celebrated our wedding anniversary here 2 evenings ago and had booked a room, 3 course dinner and breakfast package. I was absolutely blown away by the whole experience, and it far exceeded any high expectations I already had. The room was beautiful with lots of beautiful welcoming touches. The welcome was so warn amd friends day and this continued throughout our stay. The staff were wonderful. The quality of the food was truly exceptional and I have eaten in quite a few highly regarded restaurants.across the years. I loved the glass of wine pairing suggestion with each course, which we had with ou r starter and main courses. The breakfast too was marvelous and I would highly recommend the kipper where my.husband would certainly praise the full breakfast! The atmosphere was warm, friendly and relaxed and we loved every moment . We would absolutely certainly return. I should also say that I have a severe wheat intolerance and the restaurant were well able to happily accommodate this. They had baked me my own special bread roll, which was the best I've ever had. Thanks go to the whole team .
