Description: First built in 1854 as a private country retreat and housing an unmissable 200 year old cedar tree in its grounds, tradition and a sense of place are important to both the look and the food at The Cedar Manor Hotel and Restaurant. You���ll find Cedar Manor offers a seasonally changing a la carte and table d���hote menu of classic British food on which all produce is sourced from providers based in the surrounding Lake District. Open to guests and non-residents, one might want to relax with a book in the cosy hotel bar and take in the views of the nearby Lake Windermere before taking a seat in the restaurant which has been awarded 2 AA Rosettes.

On arriving we were greeted by Jonathan the 'rude man' who was very friendly and professional and seated us in the lounge area and while... More

“Revisiting a pure Lake District delight!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2013

We have been to the Cedar Manor restaurant before for a special meal out, and I don’t usually write reviews if I've been somewhere twice, but this place deserves it. This restaurant is an amazing experience from start to finish and everything is top class from the service, to the quality of the food on the plate. It is great... More

I visited Cedar Manor for an evening meal during the Easter break. It was probably the warmest welcome that I have had at any restaurant I have visited and my thanks go to Caroline and Jonathan for their hospitality. With regards to the meal itself, I can only concur with the many other reviewers who have given the food top... More

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights at Easter. It was a treat for my birthday and we wanted a good location for local fell walking. The hotel is easy to find, adjacent to the main Windermere to Ambleside Road and offers an imposing sight as you pull on to the drive. This is a family run hotel and... More

“Fantastic food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2013

Totally fantastic food and very attentive service. Would have liked a little more light than candlelight but that is nit-picking. Well worth a visit for the fantastic food and was really busy even on a snowy Monday so worth booking ahead.

“Can't remember a better meal - tried, but couldn't!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2013

Incredible food, fantastic service, loved the decor, great wine list. Not much more to say; if you can afford to come here during your trip to the lake district, do it. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the county!

Thank you very much for choosing Cedar Manor for a night out in the Lakes. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your evening and gave our food a try. The home-smoked rib eye has been generally well liked, but as you say, its not to everyone's taste. Thank you for a great review and we hope to see you... More
