Harden's survey result
Summary
On the lower slopes of Skiddaw, England’s third highest mountain, a luxury mid-Victorian Lakes hotel that “never fails to impress”. The restaurant has been relocated over the years to amplify the “wonderful views”, and it continues to please with its “good variety of dishes” (from Sunday lunch to salads and Cumbrian rarebit) that are also “exceptional value for money”.
Summary
“The excellent standard of the last few years is being maintained” at this mid-Victorian gentleman’s residence below Skiddaw, which has been a family-run hotel since 1986. The building has seen “big changes, which include moving the restaurant to the front, with wonderful views over the northern lakes”. “A table in the bay window, with views over the fells. Then lazing over coffee followed by a walk around the small grounds and a photo session with the alpacas… Oh, and the food is also extremely good!”
Summary
“This family-run hotel in the north Lakes” – a mid-Victorian gentleman’s residence below Skiddaw – “ticks all the right boxes”, with its “remarkable views” and “very good food served in considerable portions”. “The mainly Iberian wine list has some welcome surprises” – a legacy of the late founder Alfredo Fernandez, who established the business with his wife Dorothy 35 years ago.
Summary
The Fernandez family’s comfortable Victorian country house, set down a sweeping driveway, is still going strong after three decades, serving “consistently good” British food with a twist (including, latterly a monthly changing tasting menu); be sure to “get plenty of exercise during the day”, as portions err on the generous size.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
