The four-star Lakeside Hotel at Newby Bridge enjoys the ideal location on the southern shores of Lake Windermere. Sumptuously furnished throughout, it retains the warm and welcoming atmosphere of its 17th-century coaching inn origins, whilst offering state-of-the-art pool, spa and conference facilities. Diners have two options -- classic fine dining in the two-AA-rosetted Lakeview Restaurant or the more informal and international menu in John Ruskin's Brasserie & Bar. You can also enjoy a light lunch or snack in the Conservatory, soaking up the splendid views out over Windermere.
Ate in the brasserie which has a contemporary feel, nice relaxed atmosphere with lovely views of the well kept gardens.
The menu however is nearly identical in both the brasserie and restaurant, I enjoyed salted cod, mushroom risotto followed by a delicious sticky toffee pudding, the best thing about the brasserie are the lake & garden views.

Had a great night at the Lakeside! Relaxed in the spa for an hour or so before enjoying a great dinner in the bistro. Breakfast was a feast too! I will be back.

There are two restaurants at the Lakeside Hotel. After using the spa facilities we opted for the Bistro. Perfectly seared Tuna preceded first class steaks! It's ashame the chef chose gaufrette crisps to accompany the steak?? The dessert wine matched the bread and butter pudding. Service was attentive and friendly and our coffee was served by the fire listening to the pianist. As the name suggests the Lakeside has a commanding view of Lake Windermere. You really must give it a whirl!

Classy four-star hotel with a fantastic lakeside setting. There's a fine dining restaurant and a brasserie and we opted for the latter with it being a hot summer's day. Imaginative menu. If the weather is good, don't miss out on a drink on the terrace.
