Lutwidge Arms

Chef/owner extremely rude. Working away from home and got a portion of chips from local takeaway to take to my room and for the first time ever in hundreds of hotels I was approached and asked “what was in my bag” personal question first of all , and to then be made to turn around from reception and made to eat dinner in my van as I wasn’t allowed snacks or chips in the room!! Very smug and horrible unfriendly attitude from the person with no consideration, not told anywhere or no signs anywhere saying no food in room. On my way to the van the guy was trying to get me to then sit in the bar with my chips after a shift and eat but absolutely not. He only tried to stop me on my way out because he realised what he had done, Would rather sit in the van at this point Paid over £130 to eat my snacks and chips in my work van because of the rudeness of the chef and then sleep on an uneven spring bed. Never again will I stay in there, bearing in mind there is nothing about so limited to pick up food on way home. Horrible. Disappointed.

Stayed here 4 nights while visiting the area. Thoroughly enjoyed the Lutwidge experience: Elena and Michael very welcoming and their colleague in the kitchen a particular star, sending out excellent breakfasts and a delicious evening meal on the night we chose to eat in. Very pleasing room and great location handy for coast as well as Eskdale. Thanks all.
