Lovely location near the train station. Breakfast was exceptionally good and the staff was welcoming.

Tarundeep United Kingdom

The staff managed to get us a table for 8.15pm which was a bit late for our tea but we was grateful they got us a table in the end and the food was well worth the wait! We wanted a lamb Sunday roast but they had ran out so we went for the lakeland lamb rump. Wow! Nicest piece of lamb I've ever tasted! Me and my boyfriend can eat alot, and this meal didn't look much but it was just enough. The breakfast in the morning was great too! The room was gorgeous and the bathroom was bigger than my bedroom at home. Overall really enjoyed my night here. The next day after we checked out our room the weather was gorgeous so we asked if we could put our luggage somewhere and they put it in the wine cellar for us. Really helpful staff. Deffo be coming back!

Great location , room was very clean but needs re -decoration etc Had a great meal in the restaurant !

Colin United Kingdom

Dining was excellent. The variety and quality of the food, the helpful and friendly waiting staff and the comfortable ambiance made eating there memorable. It was Valentine's day and the hotel added some thoughtful touches. There was a counter in the side lobby that was described as being depicted in a Beatrix Potter illustration.

We have run The Lamplighter since I was 5 with my dad being a classically trained chef. We love food & drink & are always looking for new things & to evolve those that are old. We are in the enviable position that our work is our hobby.
I was born into the hospitality industry and have a true passion for every aspect of it with customer service being an absolute focus and to share both mine and my teams passion for food and beverage with our valued guests.
The whole of The Lake District is one giant play ground or so my children tell me. Water sports, extreme sports, a long walk on a beautiful autumn day. The relaxed pace, the stunning scenery, the amazing food and beverage available. Take your pick!
