"Relax in the sitting room of this 11C castle to enjoy canapés and investigate the hugely impressive wine selection from the estate cellars; then head through to the modish, country kitchen style restaurant with its unique tiled floor, views over the mature gardens and elegant private room. Service is charming and it’s worth taking the advice of the experienced team. Locally born chef Richard Swale oversees the kitchen and his dishes are driven by the seasons and the availability of produce from the Lowther Estate, in which the castle sits. The gardener plays an important part in guiding the menu, advising which ingredients are at their peak and what to plant next. Accomplished dishes have a certain simplicity but also focus on complementary textures and tastes." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
