Farlam Hall Hotel & Restaurant

We booked the Celebration Package for my wife's 60th Birthday, and found the whole experience wonderful. We were made to feel very welcome and special. The suite was luxurious, with lots of extra touches, and the 12 course tasting menu was superb

We chose this hotel due to a recommendation from someone who had stayed before. It was a celebration of our friend retiring and we could not have chosen better. The location is stunning, and on arrival, we were made welcome by Kirsty, who was very friendly and attentive. Once settled in our rooms, we took the opportunity of walking around the gardens and enjoyed a drink in the bar, which had a lovely, calm atmosphere. After freshening up, we then had pre dinner drinks in the lounge, and Simon presented us with the dinner menu. He gave a brief explanation of each dish and allowed us some time to choose. Simon took us to our table, after which the starters were served. I had a salmon dish, which was amazing. We had all chosen the beef for the main course and the meat was perfectly cooked. It came with generous amounts of vegetables and a cauliflower cheese. It was really tasty (and filling). After a break myself and my friend and I had a creme brulee, which was also amazing. Our wives were too full for desserts and simply had a coffee, which they both enjoyed. We had a fantastic night's sleep on the very comfortable beds. The bedroom and bathroom were very well appointed and due to the location it was very quiet. Simon had already told us that there was plenty of choice for breakfast and he was not wrong. I enjoyed a full English, and everything on the plate tasted so fresh. We all had a wonderful stay and will certainly be recommending the hotel to our friends and family.

Spent a fantastic two night break at Farlam Hall last weekend and found the whole experience superb. From the moment we arrived it was clear that everyone’s primary concern was that we should enjoy our visit as much as possible. In this they succeeded spectacularly. The building and its grounds are beautiful. It is both immaculately clean and very well appointed. The junior suite we called home over the weekend was lovely. The standard of food served throughout was both consistent and amazingly good. A separate review of Cedar Tree and Enkel to follow. It was great to be greeted on arrival by Hrishi Desai, someone we never got to opportunity to meet at Gilpin. I can honestly say the man is as modest as he is talented. Suffice to say, Farlam Hall is a fabulous place to spend time relaxing and indulging in both fabulous food and seamless, friendly service.

A Five Star Cumbria Experience! From the moment I received a call asking about allergies for the meal 24 hours in advance, I anticipated a first rate experience and I wasn’t disappointed! The setting and grounds and delightful entrance to the building set the tone and this continued with the hearty welcome and the fantastic clock and its history being explained by one of the very friendly staff who proceeded to make an equally fantastic cocktail. The lovely vibe continued in the sitting room with a cozy open fire and the meal that followed hit the spot after a mad day! Service was impeccable and very much appreciated from the table service, assistance with a mobile phone being charged to the discretion re the muddy attire after a day at an archeological dig and visits to Bewcastle and Hadrian’s Wall. Couldn’t have been made more welcome! Thank you to the team at Farlam Hall!
