Gourmet dining & luxe rooms in a historic country house
"Relax by the fire in the cosy sitting room of this 14C pele tower, while enjoying canapés and perusing the hugely impressive wine selection from the estate cellars; then head through to the modish, country kitchen style restaurant with its unique tiled floor and garden views. Accomplished dishes are driven by the seasons and the availability of produce from the surrounding Lowther Estate, with the gardener playing a key role in the crafting of the menu. Sauces are a highlight and really elevate each dish." - Michelin Inspector
"Since then, restaurants have popped up like mushrooms in the woods, with other Michelin-starred entries like Hrishi (tasting menu $130), Allium (tasting menu $117), and Forest Side (tasting menus from $62) inspiring hungry pilgrims to travel here." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Dishes served in this country kitchen style restaurant, situated in the famous 11C castle, are driven by the seasonal availability of produce from the Lowther Estate in which it sits. Head chef Richard Swale works closely with the gardener, who advises him on which ingredients are at their peak and what should be planted next. Fruits include apples, plums and raspberries; vegetables include beetroot, radishes, carrots and leeks; while wild garlic grows along the banks of the River Lowther. Animals reared here include rare breed pigs, chickens and shorthorn cattle; with deer, rabbits, grouse and pigeons from the woods and moors. Pickled, dried, salted or left to rest in the ground, preserved fruits and vegetables also play a big part on the menu." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
