The Duke Of Edinburgh

I visited this restaurant for a special occasion while in the Lake District. The menu looked promising with some appealing specials. The starters were enjoyable, particularly the pork belly. However, the main courses were a bit disappointing. The sea bream dish with pea fricassee turned out to be pan-fried sea bream with potatoes, peas, chorizo, and baby onions, lacking any discernible sauce. This dish didn't quite meet my expectations and I noticed that it has since been replaced with sea bass. The haddock and chips were good, but the chips were oversized and there were too many of them - fries would have been a better choice. Additionally, the mushy peas seemed past their prime.

I stayed overnight for work and I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were lovely and tastefully decorated, respecting the building's heritage. The bed was very comfortable and the food (both dinner and breakfast) was delicious. All of this at a great price! This restaurant is a wonderful addition to Barrow and a good reminder of the importance of supporting local businesses over chain hotels. I will definitely stay here again.

We ate today party of 7. From the time we arrived, the staff were very friendly and eager to please. We were seated quickly and had the menu explained. Starters were excellent and presented beautifully. The main courses came with just the right amount of time to rest and again were nicely presented. Clean plates all round! A small issue was quickly and efficiently resolved with no fuss. Deserts and coffees were lovely and we found the drinks to be reaonsably priced. Will definitely return and would recommend. Staff are working very hard and the chef is producing food to a good standard. It's been a few years since we had eaten at the doe but would not hesitate to book again.

This grand old hotel has a restaurant and bar that looks like it should be in a Roaring 20s classic movie. Perfect use of Edison style lighting highlights the leather seating. Just an amazing looking place. I was there for lunch so I didn’t get the full grand dinner experience but I appreciated that the menu featured a wide variety of foods. My wife and I both loved what we had (pastrami sandwich and fish and chips. We did a tour of the rooms. Each one is unique and feature period era beams but modern amenities.

This is a great location to explore south lakes, hotel was clean and tidy, food was delicious and service fab. Couldn't find fault. Lovely weekend
