A location to die for. Beautiful setting in Askham. The rooms were actually quite basic, with little comfort. We had no wardrobe for example and had to hang our clothes on hooks on the wall. The photos made the rooms look far more glamorous, andthey were more expensive than they should have been.

We had a lovely relaxing two nights in the Stable Room which is ideal for wheelchair users with plenty of space in the bedroom and adapted bathroom.Askham Hall is a beautiful hotel and quite unique. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful and it's a great place to unwind. Special thanks to Jen for arranging our stay and Alice for a lovely introduction to the Hall.

A really special and beautiful place to stay, set in a very cute village with stunning natural surroundings!The staff were beyond welcoming, helpful and kind from the moment we walked in. They made us feel so comfortable and took very good care of our dog too.The dinner we had in Allium was incredible- by far the best Michelin meal we've ever tasted! It was also lovely that you can dress more casually so it really puts you at ease.Dog friendly ?Rooms: We stayed in the old drawing room - the room was absolutely stunning, very spacious, beautiful decor and styling. The bed was big and very comfortable - great nights sleep.Nearby activities: There are some lovely walks nearby, including walks along the river and up to Lowther castle (which is so dramatic!). Short drive to Ullswater & Pooley Bridge too.Food & drinks: The food and drinks at Askham Hall are just fantastic. The Michelin restaurant Allium is outstanding and the knowledge and passion of the chefs, wait staff & sommelier were brilliant.

A handbag, pair of glasses and a partially completed crossword sat abandoned before a roaring fire, which was more a scene from Agatha Christies Mousetrap than a location for fine dining.However, respect is due, as we are in Askham Hall where clearly only centuries of history can bring such charm.Our host was pleasant and offered aperitifs before leaving menus and what resembled a carpet sample book, masquerading as the wine list, academic however with wine pairing a given, but provided amusement whilst waiting for our drinks which were dilatory.Amuse bouche arrived with a respectable glass of champagne but a rather amateur tumbler of tonic with a hint of gin. The nibbles were satisfactory.First course was scallop and butternut squash three ways, which was tasty, particularly the fried squash offering good contrasting texture.Second course was a slighty visually dissapointing plate of salad which deceptivly delivered on a surprisingly whole host of excellent flavours.By now we had recognised that the lesser number of courses had been compensated with scale, as a large portion of North sea cod was swimming in a bowl of cream sauce depriving the oyster mushrooms centre stage and a suprisingly still crisp lettuce.The main course was pork but with half an inch of unrendered fat clinging to the side of a tough piece of meat warranting the provided steak knife wasnt pleasant, its accompaniment were not too pleased to be there either and this dish had let the chef down.We rounded off with two interesting and tasty desserts the latter served with an excellent deep red 1928 wine which finished off an excellent night of wine pairing, compliments to the sommelier.Overall whilst pleasant enough there was little to rave over, nothing worthy of photograph and lacked the modern vibe expected in todays fine dining market.The cost was high given we had the cheaper cuts of fish and meat made annoyingly worse by the addition of the water we had turned down on more than one occasion, but we enjoyed a night out.

Really great country house hotel. It feels like you are a house guest rather than a customer. The food is amazing. A great place for a special occasion.
