The Forest Side, a top hotel in the Lake District

The Forest Side has come in the top teen in Square Meal’s annual list of the UK’s Top 100 Restaurants and into the Top 30 of the Harden's Top 100 Best UK Restaurants diners’ poll. 

The Gothic mansion, previously a private home, has 20 contemporary guest bedrooms with six dog friendly. 

The Forest Side is located near to Grasmere village, where William Wordsworth lived for 14 years and described as the loveliest spot that man hath ever found. 

It sits in 43 acres of woodland at the foot of the Lake District fells and has its own fellside which is home to a herd of roe deer, red squirrels and native plant species including foxgloves, wood sorrel and common sorrel. 

Lake Windermere is a 15-minute drive south, and there are walking routes around Grasmere, Rydal, Loughrigg and the Langdales. 

The Lake District national park in Cumbria is known for its glacial ribbon lakes, rugged fell mountains and historic literary associations. 

Market towns such as Kendal, Ambleside and Keswick on scenic Derwentwater are bases for exploring the area and home to traditional inns, galleries of local art and outdoor equipment shops.
