Jean Christophe Novelli has recently praised Cumbria as a destination for romance and good food. He applauds the region for fresh and tasty ingredients with many talented people to prepare it.
This may explains why the food at both Derwentwater and Conistonwater in the Lake District is brilliant. There is so many great things to choose from including a full cooked breakfast, a large picnic lunch and then if you are not full up from all this a three course dinner is to follow in the evening and don't forget the Cream teas on Sunday afternoon.
But don't just take our word for it, here is what some of our guests have to say:
I still cannot get over the variety of food available for the packed lunches. Jill Coulter, Bangor
Excellent food and in plenty. Imaginative cooking. Dr H Macanespie, Glasgow
The food was amazing, I felt very spoilt. Mr V McPartlan, Buckinghamshire
