Eat & Drink

Dining in
Polished wood floors, tall vases of lilies, a montage of mirrors and beautifully framed photographs set the tone in the Billiard Room and Mirror Room at Linthwaite House. Both dining rooms offer great views of the wooded grounds, and well spaced tables add privacy.

Tuck into roasted quail breast with sweet carrot, glazed shallots and crisp pancetta, followed by venison loin with braised shin, pearl barley broth and pickled pear. Leave room for the tarte tatin with apple crumble icecream. There's an open-to-view kitchen where you can see the kitchen brigade at work. Have drinks on the terrace in summer, with its views over lake Windermere.
