The Cottage In The Wood

About

The Cottage in the Wood is a Michelin‑starred destination nestled on Whinlatter Forest, a mile above Keswick in the northern Lake District. The boutique hotel features eight bedrooms, each designed in a natural, rustic style that blends seamlessly with the surrounding woodland. The restaurant offers a seasonal tasting menu created with ingredients from local Cumbrian farms, highlighted by their sustainable sourcing and emphasis on foraged, wild produce. With two tasting menus – a 7‑course dinner course for £120 and a lighter 5‑course lunch menu for £75 – diners can experience the full repertoire of the Bond’s precise, flavour‑driven cuisine. Bookings are highly recommended and required for both lunch and dinner, with advanced reservations available up to six months in advance via the official site.
