"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

We have just had our wedding at Askham Hall and words cannot do the venue and the staff justice. Jenny sorted everything for us and the Askham team were not only efficient and effective but they were genuinely friendly and nothing seemed to be trouble for them. The food was superb as were the rooms. Jenny and her team gave us a wonderful day that we will never forget.

Allium is superb - exquisite presentation of excellent cooking with real flavour. Definitely a 5* place.|Whilst the lounges and dining rooms are lovely environments, the two bedrooms we’ve had at Askham Hall are much less so. The most recent one had a stain on carpet, a broken blind, a broken soap tray in the shower, a broken sink plug chain, a broken toilet roll holder, a shower head with water coming out the side and THE most frustrating, regularly unavailable and dropping ultra-slow WiFi.|That Allium is due to move to Sharrow Bay Hotel and Askham Hall itself is up for sale, may have a lot to do with it.

Had a lovely walk around the gardens and lunch in the cafe. It was very busy, but there was lots of space for us all to spread out.

I sent this to Askham Hall twice and never received a reply. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal last night. The service was rather slow which I guess was the result of us sitting after the large group. I thought I would feedback on our wine experience. I enjoy wine but am not particularly a wine buff and would have appreciated the option of a reasonably priced house red and white which would have suited us perfectly. I honestly didn’t particularly appreciate being handed the huge book of wines which were overwhelmingly beyond the the price I would normally pay for wine (mostly in the £100s and up to £14750) and really didn’t mean much to me. A nice bottle of house wine to accompany the excellent food would have been perfect for us. There will be those who want the whole wine story and experience and are happy to pay 100s for a bottle but we are not in that camp and actually found it quite intrusive and off putting. A few well chosen house wines would have have helped make our evening. Best. Richard extra Note: We selected a relatively hard to find lower priced £45 bottle from the wine list which we were subsequently told was not available but were presented with an alternative at the same price which was pretty mediocre at best. The wines were presented to tables around us by the sommelier at volumes which intruded on the ambience of the restaurant. In summary the food was very nice but we would not return because of the wine related experience. We also had water through our ceiling twice from the bathroom above both in the evening and the early morning however the staff handled this pretty well and we were happy to put this down to bad luck. Very disappointed not to have had a reply from the restaurant. 15th May 25 I have now received the rather condescending reply. Misses the point somewhat. The food was lovely. Wine list simply needed addition of a good house wine that was in stock and the sommelier needed to less intrusive. I have visited your pubs before when I wanted nice pub food but will not be visiting again as the direct result of your condescending reply. I will also not be visiting you on Ulswater which we visited many times in the past. Richard

An odd experience. The rooms and common areas are very thread-bare, dated, and sparsely furnished. The restaurant was probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had (53 years). The grounds are quite nice.

Faultless from beginning to end. We had the most wonderful long weekend, phenomenal food and wine, perfect service, and an old-school timeless ambience that made us feel instantly at home. We walked for miles and miles every day guided by path recommendations from staff, came back to roaring fires and giant baths and thick blankets and felt more like we were staying with family than at a hotel. Please don’t ever change!
