The Samling

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

££££

The full-length windows in the striking slate and glass extension of this Lakeland country house provide spectacular views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding countryside. This local area provides much of the produce on the tasting menu, with some coming from the hotel's own greenhouse and gardens. The skill of the chefs is evident in their technical mastery and fine balancing of flavours; well-seasoned monkfish ballotine is a prime example, expertly cooked sous vide and accompanied by a beautifully subtle carrot and saffron sauce.

Drunken Duck Inn

Modern British

£££

This picture-postcard pub sits in the heart of the beautiful Lakeland countryside and must be one of the most desirable in the region. Inside, the extended inn is overflowing with charm and character, especially in the buzzing bar. The generous cooking includes the likes of celeriac and hazelnut Kiev or venison loin and pie with beetroot fondant, and they can be paired with ales brewed on-site. Relaxed, chatty service enhances the experience, as do the boutique bedrooms, some of which boast terraces with stunning fell views.

Rowan

Modern British

£££

In an understandably popular part of the picturesque Lake District, the Rothay Manor country house hotel stands proud with its Regency-era grandeur and stylish modern additions. Rowan is its restaurant, occupying an elegant dining room that features original shutters and cornicing alongside bold William Morris wallpaper and striking chandeliers. The concise à la carte is full of seasonal goodness, all executed with skill and care. Look out for bright, fresh fish dishes like roast cod with 'nduja, gremolata, broad beans and shrimp.
