Absolutely fantastic short break away. A year late due to the pandemic but so worth the wait. Lovely, relaxed and cosy atmosphere in a beautiful location with well appointed rooms. We last visited in 2014 and had a lovely time and since this they have gained the Michelin star, which is without a doubt, well deserved. This time we had the taste cumbria menu with the wine flight and this did not disappoint. The staff serving us on Friday evening were just lovely - friendly yet professional and knowledgeable. The whole meal was delicious and not forgetting the treacle bread ! Just wish we could have

My boyfriend and I visited Cottage in the Woods at the end of August for my birthday, to try their tasting menu. The food was amazing and the service was exceptional - with the team even giving me a birthday card!
We've been dreaming about their treacle bread since we left - a must visit if you're in the Lakes.

Food was impeccable and the service was faultless. Well deserved reputation. Lunch menu allows you to sample three courses with optional hot drinks and petit four. Full vegetarian menu provided and were very accommodating when the starter wasn't to my taste. Lovely view through the forest including over Grisedale Pike. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

This is a restaurant to find, if you're in the Lakes. Even the drive up to it is stunning. The service was excellent - so friendly and not stuffy, at all. And the food - out of this world. We went for my birthday and we were not disappointed. From start to finish, it was a relaxed and fine experience. I'd love to visit again, when we're North.
