The hotel offers a choice of two restaurants and a bar: the award-winning Purdey's Restaurant; the bistro style Terrace Restaurant; and Hobsons Bar, which also offers an excellent menu. A traditional Lake District pub - Wainwright's Inn - is a short walk away, serving real ales, and hearty country food against a backdrop of crackling log fires.
