Forest Side - South Lakeland

What an amazing time we had from start to finish. The staff are amazing! Dean was lovely in the restaurant and a nice touch, the young chef coming out. Those lads will go a long way! Little touches like allergy free cake in our room, and iced water when we got back to our room. The food was superb and the hotel is beautiful. We can’t wait to go back!

Lovely two nights stay, with amazing food and fabulous service. This was our first outing since the Covid outbreak, but Forest Side had excellent precautions in place and felt safe throughout our stay.

Had the most wonderful afternoon taster lunch. Beautiful surroundings, amazing food, presentation second to none and super staff. We will make this our regular treat. Highly recommend a visit, the best yet.

I would definitely recommend this place. If you’re up for a Michelin Star experience in the Lakes. The Head Chef, Paul, was the head of The Burlington previously and designed our wedding menu... a very talented Chef!

Michelin star food in an airy dining room. We have visited Forest Side many times and on occasion have not enjoyed the food and today was the best experience yet. The greeting, the menu and the ambience were second to none today. A far improved menu choice and every dish was so delicious and due to our picky nature they were happy to change one of the courses to make it a perfect lunch and the cheese course was so good too. Loved the leather wraps of cutlery too! Thank you to all the staff it was excellent.
