A great venue, a little expensive however as we were out celebrating our anniversary, it was well worth this visit.

A lovely, upmarket meal if a little pricey. Attentive service.
The booking process is a bit quirky. I booked 2 weeks beforehand and confirmed the day before. On the day of my booking, I received a message saying it had been changed to 1930 from 2000. I replied that this was not convenient and was told that was OK. When I arrived at 1945 the waitress wanted to show me to my table, however, I wanted a pre-dinner drink having travelled some distance. All OK in the end but I got the feeling they wanted everyone finished early.
By the way, the beer is bottled so when you ask for a pint per the menu, you get a 500ml bottle. Less than a pint.

Good find - definitely a hotel restaurant (not a pub), pretty quiet, but excellent service and good food. Kitchen clearly cared and was imaginative. Wood pigeon was tender and went well with the black pudding. Lamb fillet was tender and pink, and generous portion. My daughter?s lamb curry was really tasty and served with a proper south Asian roti. Worth a visit for sure.

Fantastic service! The waiters were brilliant, very helpful, attentive and kind.
Unfortunately the food was the only let down, cooking method for the steak did not lend itself to that meal, and the dessert left a lot to be desired.
But a good experience overall.

Came from London on a day trip to the Lake District and was immediately enchanted by not only the location but also the food offered at the Ivy House. Locally sourced from suppliers and made with warmth, the Ivy House is a must for for those visiting the area and wanting to treat yourself to the local cuisine. I will be sure to come back and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff.

Nice place! The service was really good, and the food was enjoyable. Overall, I?d recommend it, some prices are a bit excessive? £6 for a small portion of bread £30 for the mains

First of all, do not think this is part of the Ivy chain rearaurants. The name, font, green colour as well as logo is very similar ( nearly identical) but this has nothing to do with that. This is a very average and overpriced independent restaurant which I encourage you to stay away. We were group of five and none of us enjoyed their food.
Not recommended at all.

Been several times. The whole experience is 5 star. A little expensive but you get what you pay for.

A truly wonderful evening with friends made so very memorable by dinner and amazing service at the Ivy House near Keswick. I have to say, the food was stunning, accompanied by an extremely attentive and friendly team, this is a hidden gem and deserving of recognition. Really well done ?
