"Rarely do I get the time or the motivation to review a stay at an establishment. However, The Hare and Hounds at Bowland Bridge stands head and shoulders above the norm and truly deserves a review. Over the years I have travelled extensively both in the British Isles and Overseas and it is very rare that I find an establishment that one simply cannot find fault. Last week, was my second stay at the Hare and Hounds, Bowland Bridge and it is the perfect overnight stay for when I have been driving South after working in Northern Scotland. The location and everything that this establishment offers presents an ideal and very cathartic stop for me after working away for long periods of time. The problem with the Hare and Hounds Inn is that everything is so professionally created with support from a warm and helpful team, both front and back of house, that it then tempts one to try desperately hard to try and find fault in something. I have a very detailed and critical eye, but I can honestly say that I cannot find fault in any aspect of this wonderful Inn. Thank you Andrew it was a pleasure meeting you and please pass on to your whole team my sincere thanks and appreciation. Sincerely Martin Smith Rooms: Wonderful Food drinks: Wonderful Noteworthy details: Everything!"

Everything a country pub should be welcoming, friendly, cosy and delicious food. Possibly the best fish and chips I’ve ever had super crispy batter (not greasy in the slightest! , fluffy white fish and perfectly cooked fat chips plus homemade tartar sauce, mushy peas and chip shop gravy on the side. I also had a taste of my friend’s beef ale pie wow! Can’t wait to go back. Rooms: 5

Lovely food. I had the trio of sausage, 3 different locally sourced sausages on a bed of mash, onions, gravy and veg. The sticky toffee pudding and toffee sauce was to die for! Lovely cosy atmosphere, the waitress put the fire on for us too which was a nice touch. There’re dog friendly too which, when you’re in the lakes as a tourist is a massive bonus! They do gluten free meals too. The meringue was lovely, and the steak which my partner had said ‘was on par to a Miller and Carters’

"We are non residents of the hotel and have visited this restaurant a few times and have never been disappointed. The food is the main feature here and service/staff are professional. The wine list is quite small but adequate, and the view as the sun sets across Windermere from the terrace can be stunning. The only issue I had on my last visit were the hotel guests in the restaurant. Now i realise that they have to eat in the hotel either as part of their package or if they simply choose to, BUT please have some general dress code in place. As we believe at £40 per head plus drinks the restaurant owes it to itself, the chef, and team to put this in place. I'm not talking dinner suits here, but after making an effort as a family, sat next to couples with sweaty dirty vest tops, trunks and flip flops is not keeping with the brand. They should either eat on the terrace or in the bar area or take room service. You simply cannot promote this restaurant at the price point without a smart /casual dress code that some of the Lakes Pubs/B Bs have! I've got to say that as much as I like the food of Lukasz Zebryk its what is happening out front that is killing his brand. Its a shame that I may be re-visting some of your competition on our next important anniversary/occasion, but please look into the comments above as you deserve to be up there with the best."
