We love the Lake District and are lucky enough to have visited at least a dozen times. We have stayed in a range of accommodation from self-catering lodges right through to luxury hotels. Even though we have never had a bad stay in the Lake District, there are 3 hotels we have stayed in that edge above the rest. Why? Because of the incredible meals, we ate while there. For us, after a long day sightseeing and exploring, there is nothing better than going back to our hotel, unwinding with a cheeky G&T and then sampling what the hotel’s restaurant has to offer. Therefore, we have put together our list of 3 fabulous hotels for foodies in The Lake District.
Beech Hill Hotel & Spa, Windermere
Located on the banks of Lake Windermere, a stay at the Beech Hill Hotel and Spa is an absolute treat. This beautiful hotel is a great choice when looking for a luxury hotel in the Lake District. With fabulous views over the lake and beyond, an amazing rooftop spa and restaurant serving mouth-watering delights, it is obvious why this hotel is one of the most popular in the area.
The on-site Burlington’s Restaurant offers amazing views to accompany the amazing food. It is highly regarded by local people and fondly remembered by all who have dined there. Burlington’s Restaurant has held AA rosettes for the last 20 years. It endeavours to source only the freshest, finest & local produce and ingredients. Therefore making it one of the best hotels for foodies in the Lake District.

Ees Wyke Country House, Ambleside
Overlooking Esthwaite Water and once a holiday home of Beatrix Potter where she wrote many of her Peter Rabbit books, Ees Wyke Country House is a delightful property perfect for a foodie break in the Lake District. Originally it was built as a Lake District retreat for a Lancashire mill owner in 1742. Before becoming a private home up until 1976 before it was converted into a hotel.
The food at the restaurant is prepared, cooked and served by the owner Richard and the meal we ate is one of the best we have ever eaten anywhere. Ees Wyke Country House has been awarded an AA rosette for the 12th year and offers a daily changing three-course dinner menu. It offers choice utilising, wherever possible, the very best of local produce from top local suppliers.
