Food & Drink

Windermere Restaurant

Stately grandeur served alongside British-European cuisine. Think oak and mirror panelling, resplendent chandeliers and heavy draped curtains. And all-time favourites such as Low Wood Bay's herb-crusted Lakeland lamb or its much-lauded sticky toffee pudding. Pre-booking is essential to avoid disappointment.

Blue Smoke on the Bay

If you're after a low-key, laid-back vibe, then Low Wood's Blue Smoke on the Bay won't disappoint. Overlooking Lake Windermere, the restaurant features a 3 metre-long double wood-fired grill as its centrepiece - using sustainable elder, birch and oak. There's an open kitchen, too, so you can keep an eye on your aged steak or fresh fish cooking on glowing embers. A diverse wine list, 24 by the glass, and cocktail menu - rums and bourbons take centre stage - ensure Blue Smoke's a welcome space to relax with a drink. Pre-booking is essential.

Atrium & Norman's Juice Bar

Astonishing, aren't they? Sweeping views over Lake Windermere with the dramatic Lakeland fells as its frame. A social space for guests and health club members, the Atrium and Norman's provide an informal space to sit and enjoy an artisan coffee, fresh juice, smoothie bowl, pastry or wrap. Rich earthy textures and tones with burnt orange accents, bulbous pendant lights and a contemporary feature fire add its charm.

Langdale Lounge & Bar

Commanding views across the Langdale Pikes, the lounge and bar serves up a stylish setting in which to enjoy a glass of Champagne or a cocktail recommended by our resort mixologist. Sip a Singapore Sling with Lakes Gin, a Summer Breeze with local Bedrock Gin or go teetotal with the Low Wood Bay Sunset - orange, pineapple and grapefruit juices with grenadine and a squeeze of lemon. Bar snacks and light meals are provided, too.
