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.

Henrock

Modern Cuisine

££££

Named after a rocky outcrop on Lake Windermere, this elegant restaurant sits inside the charming Linthwaite House hotel and is part of Simon Rogan's ever-evolving empire. The décor is minimal yet cosy, with plain wooden tables and lovely artwork on the walls. Simon's sustainable ethos is evident on the menu, with many ingredients in the colourful dishes coming from his 'Our Farm' estate and other produce – like Cartmel Valley venison – sourced in the local area. Warm, friendly staff enhance the experience.
