Insight Guides "Tucked away in a beautiful mountainous location, this former 17th-century coaching inn has delightful, modern rooms and a fine restaurant that supports quality local suppliers."
The Telegraph9.0
"Wrapped in woodland with tree-top views to Skiddaw and a 10-minute drive from Keswick, this restaurant-with-rooms offers inventive cooking, contemporary-style rooms and a warm, unstuffy atmosphere." Full review
The Guardian "A one-stop-shop for an indulgent foodie weekend with plenty of hearty outdoor appeal, this restaurant with nine bedrooms feels delightfully off-grid, tucked away 1,000ft above Keswick in the Whinlatter Forest"
The Guardian "Don’t be misled by the name; the Cottage is actually a striking Georgian mansion, set high above the spa town of Malvern, surrounded by woodland"
