Nestled in Whinlatter Forest, this chic 17th-century inn combines modern luxury with stunning views and Michelin-starred dining that’s anything but stuffy.
"As you make your way up the Whinlatter Pass, you will find this remote black and white inn that boasts some fabulous Lakeland views – best enjoyed from a seat in the conservatory. The cooking comes in the form of a tasting menu and makes use of local produce, with every part of the ingredient put to use. Dishes are well-conceived and blend classical execution with a subtle modernity that highlights a variety of flavours and textures. It’s a cosy little place, with a range of bedrooms available if you wish to stay the night." - Michelin Inspector
"As you leave the small hamlet of Braithwaite, the narrow road rises steeply towards the Whinlatter Forest and Pass. Here, you’ll find a small black-and-white roadside inn run by a friendly team." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"A 17th-Century building nestled amid England’s only mountain forest, Cottage in the Wood presents elegant British cuisine in a stunning Lake District setting. The curved, window-lined dining room allows for a range of vantage points: look out through Whinlatter Forest and catch glimpses of Skiddaw’s peak. Beautifully presented dishes feature carefully sourced local ingredients, celebrating the rich larder of the surrounding Cumbrian countryside." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
