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.
