Am going up get SiL a voucher for a hotel in the Lake District for her and her girlfriend - ant recommendations? They're both foodies. Like walking and reading / relaxing.

Have a look at the Laura Ashley hotel in Bowness

The Daffodil hotel in Grasmere (home of Wordsworth) or The Lodore Falls on Buttermere ard both gorgeous.
I would have said The Rothay Garden Hotel in Grasmere but there is a review from a same sex couple on TripAdvisor that is quite concerning.

Serin, the Lodore Falls is on Derwentwater, not Buttermere. It's nice, but I found the interior design rather oppressively traditional. And the maitre'd was childishly rude to me at a wedding I attended there.

Northcote Hotel. The restaurant also has a Michelin star.

Merewood hotel near Windermere 💕🙌

L'Enclume
The Dirty Duck
Also love the wild boar at crook. Less posh but fantastic.

We stayed at Lyzzick Hall, was beautiful

The Miller Howe hotel - Delia always championed that one.

TheCumbrian · 30/03/2019 21:01

Do you mean Northcote in Lancashire sillybilly? It's a bit outside the Lakes?

I second Brimstone. Fab

Linthwaite House near Windermere

Sillybilly1234 · 30/03/2019 21:06

@TheCumbrian oops. Yes Lancashire but not that far from the lakes.

igglepigglegingin · 30/03/2019 21:13

Holbeck Gyhll is fantastic

Duchessofealing · 30/03/2019 21:15

Second Brimstone - utterly utterly gorgeous and indulgent

Sharrow Bay on Ullswater. Lurvely!

Margorystewartbaxter · 30/03/2019 21:33

Brimstone- absolutely heavenly

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 30/03/2019 21:36

I love The Gilpin and always recommend it for a luxury break for food lovers.

GivemeGinandTonic · 30/03/2019 21:49

Another for Holbeck Ghyll, food is spectacular and the hotel very cosy. Great for walks too!

MummaGiles · 30/03/2019 21:52

Holbrook Ghyll or the Gilpin

MummaGiles · 30/03/2019 21:52

Holbeck*

AlwaysColdHands · 30/03/2019 21:54

Brimstone - not stayed as it’s child free, but had a tour from friend and is amazing......

ScafellPoke · 30/03/2019 21:55

The Gilpin?!! Hmm

missmarple do you mean the drunken duck?!

I’d recommend masons arms and wheatsheaf in lythe valley, wild boat is lovely too.

ScafellPoke · 30/03/2019 21:56

Wild boar!!
