Summer’s here and we have a great new Lounge and Terrace menu in full swing. This summer in the Lake District promises to be a hot one and here at the Beech Hill we have the perfect place to enjoy it! For those of you who haven’t yet experienced our fantastic lake view terrace, what are you waiting for?!

Take some time to look through our website and gallery and check out our latest special offers, many include dinner in our award winning restaurant. I use fresh, local produce throughout all my menus and the whole dining experience is one to remember!

With the new Terrace menu I have retained some of the favourites, but brought in some, soon to be, classics!

Here’s a small a taster;

Succulent Fell bred Steak & Smoked Stilton Burger-with caramelised onions, watercress & dill pickle.

Crispy Parma Ham & Sage Croquettes- with beetroot puree & mustard sauce.

Deep-fried Whitebait – homemade dill tartar sauce, smooth mushy pea dip.

Rustic Farmhouse Ham Terrine –served with hot crusty bread, homemade piccalilli, & ketchup.

Hot-chocolate Fondue- Shortbread & meringue soldiers, homemade mint marshmallow & English strawberries.

There’s plenty more where these came from – but you’ll have to come and try them for yourselves!

Have a great summer, and I hope to see you soon!

Well the new website has finally gone live! It’s been a while in the making but we all feel it’s been well worth the wait! Personally I think it’s great, I’m sure you agree. A lot of time, thought and effort has gone in to it and it’s been designed very much with you in mind.

It has so much more to offer, we’ve added more content, more fantastic pictures and some very tempting special offers! Please do take the time to look through the site, I particularly like the “events calendar”. This is a great tool and allows you to see all the exciting events happening both in the hotel and around the Lake District throughout the year. Not only that, click on the event your interested in and you can see all the information on it instantly! Then all you have to do is click to check availability, how easy is that!

I hope to be able to tell one or two interesting stories as the months go by as well as keeping you all informed on what’s going on in the area. We already have plans to refurbish some of our Classic bedrooms and we are currently decorating a number of corridors. Thanks again to those of you who have stayed with us recently for bearing with us whilst some of this work takes place. It really is great to see the improvements and the feedback from guests has been incredibly positive!

Don’t forget you can now follow us on twitter (where you’ll catch fantastic last minute deals) and keep an eye out for new posts on the Hotel’s Blog!
