Lodore Falls Lake View

Food was amazing and piping hot . Quick service. Staff were very attentive. Lovely choice on menu of starters, mains, desserts.

First time I have been to this place, and it won’t be the last. The food was lovely, as was the location and the building. We went for Sunday lunch and it was the best piece of beef I’ve had. The staff on the whole...

I have never stayed but has frequently used the bar for lunches and a beer after hiking the fells . The hotel is very formal , traditional , smart and clean and service usually impeccable but this can be the issue . A sign outside...

Called in for lunch having walked around derwent water. Outside it says everyone welcome food all day. Don’t believe it. We are only serving residents no apologies! Having wanted to visit for 60+ years we won’t be trying again. It’s not the reception we expect from the Lake District

The venue and the staff combined with good food made an excellent experience. We had a lovely evening meal the starter and main was delicious but the sweets that we had were underwhelming and lacked the quality of the rest of the meal. Perhaps thinking about it 4 stars may be more appropriate only for that reason. The prices aren’t over the top for the level of quality and would definitely return.

Drove an hour to take my parents (85 and 90) for a light lunch in the lake view lounge today. I’d noticed they weren’t doing Sunday lunch due to an event, but as we only wanted a tea cake or a sandwich, that didn’t stop us going. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were told no food at all was being served to non- residents in the lounges or conservatory. Why not state this on the website and save two elderly people a round trip of 2 hours. Annoying and disappointing.

Visited the ladore falls restaurant for a treat on Saturday. The staff and atmosphere were wonderful and the Christmas decorations amazing but the food was moderate at best…. Cheese soufflé was a cross between a cheese scone and sponge cake, cod was completely overpowered with sourkraut and the mill-fuille was still frozen through. When we sent it back the restaurant manager came back to explain that it was “frozen instead of using gelatin to set” ! Worst excuse ever for a rubbish desert ! Such a shame ! We won’t be rushing back

We had high hopes for the afternoon tea in the famous Lodore, it was empty when we arrived and sat near the window for the view. We were asked what we would like to drink, I had a double espresso and my wife had earl grey tea. We didn’t have any dietary requirements so the savoury tea arrived, there was no pork pie it was a sausage roll, sandwiches were all on white bread not as advertised, there was no mustard on the ham one, the trout caviar came on a sweet tasting cake and you couldn’t taste the trout. The salmon bagel seemed stale. The cakes were very disappointing, the green thing on a soggy chocolate biscuit made me retch, others were dry, carrot cake was ok. Then when leaving we got c...

I thought I’d booked for the Mizu Pan Asian. I went on the website clicked on this and then got a chatbot asking what I wanted to do. I clicked ‘book a table’ and thought I had. Transpired I booked for the Lake View restaurant. We went to the Asian one which had no tables free we’d been recommended here by the place we were staying at but had to eat in the main hotel restaurant. Food was bang average, expensive and small portions. I had the monkfish and the veg was salty. I had the pear crumble for dessert which was a take on a crumble. Advice to restaurants: crumble is best when it’s done traditionally. This one was tasteless and consisted of a poached pear in a ramekin with oat crumble whi...
