Description
Kedgeree, Scottish smoked salmon, scrambled free range eggs from Scales Farm, puddings from Lancashire - and that is just the breakfast. From the freshly baked bread to the ice cream every dish is home-cooked and, where possible, made from local produce. The views towards Skiddaw and Keswick over Whinlatter forest make The Cottage in The Wood a tranquil place to wine, dine and relax.

Treasured memories of a still unspoilt nook in the Lake District, where menus are beautifully conceived and exquisitely executed, and real warmth and attention is given to guest's individual needs. Absolutely wonderful. True bliss.

My partner and I stayed here July 2007 and received the warmest welcome. The views are magnificent, the rooms lovely and the cuisine cooked by Liam is outstanding. A set menu featuring the best local produce and we immediately booked again.

The welcoming was warm (tea and cake were waiting for us in the lounge) and the food was fabulous. If you are wanting an intimate quiet retreat, then this is the place. The view across the forest was breath-taking.

The welcome, the setting, the comfortable bedrooms and terrific customer service are only surpassed by the wonderful food. Kath and Liam provide a perfect balance between food preparation and service, and use a wide range of the very best local produce. Since my wife and I first stayed at the Cottage three years ago we have gone back each year, and expect to continue.

I came upon the Cottage in the Wood by chance and couldn't believe my luck. Better than home from home: no one welcomes me as warmly and as kindly as Kath; no one ensures my meals are as interesting, beautifully cooked and presented as Liam and Kath do; even the bed is more comfortable than my own - I can no longer say there is no bed like mine at home! The setting of the hotel is magical; there is a fascinating wildlife visitor centre just up the road with a web cam show of ospreys on their nest, a range of bird feeders hanging outside so you can watch all the local birds come and go. The lakes are on your doorstep - I recommend the peace and tranquility of Buttermere, but please don't all go and crowd the place and make it unbearably noisy. To precis: Liam and Kath provide heaven, they deserve to win whatever awards are available.

Liam and Kath make this place special and their dedication to ensure that your experience at their hotel and restaurant exceeds expectations. Each menu is well thought out in relation to seasons and local food availability. Liam is a superb chef who takes time and care to provide food that is locally sourced, uses the best ingredients, is full of flavour, cooked to perfection. There is no point of having a passionate chef if the food is not served with care and supurb customer care and that is where Kath makes the other part of this experience exceed your expectations. What a partnership, they are definitely our food heroes. We highly recommend their hotel and food and think they deserve local and national recognition for all their hard work and how they use and promote local food.

Our first visit to the cottage in the wood,with all the great views it had a lot to to live up to. But the food and hotel exceeded any expectations we had. Food is beautifully prepared and presented.The breakfast was probably the best i`ve had anywhere either home or abroad.A first class experience.

We have been going to the Cottage in the Wood for many years now and find it a home from home. We both have stressful jobs with long hours and it is wonderful to relax and be cosseted by such a friendly and caring couple. The food is scrumptious and beautifully presented, the rooms - and beds - are comfortable and the service is fantastic; nothing is too much trouble even when you come in from the fells soaked to the skin! The whole atmosphere is welcoming and other visitors are always in agreement about the warmth of welcome and care. Kath and Liam have worked very hard to create such a terrific place and deserve to be recognised for their sterling work. Thanks, Kath and Liam. All the best and see you later this year.

What can i say i am someone who really enjoys my food and i know good food when i taste it and Liam is defintitly a master in the kitchen. I have eaten at the cottage in the wood a number of times and loved every single meal. There is nothing worse than finishing a meal and feeling to full to even move, Liams food is well proportioned leaving you feel happy and satisfied and not "over full". I wish him the best of luck x review this place now
