The Netherwood Hotel tried so hard yesterday to ruin my birthday. We wanted somewhere really nice to go for Sunday lunch to celebrate and came up with the idea of the Netherwood. We are lovers of Sunday Roasts, so I Googled “Netherwood Hotel Sunday Lunch” and the very first result was a link to the hotel’s own website and the menu, which included a choice between beef, lamb and chicken. I booked, received a confirmation, and we drove up to Grange-over-Sands from Preston. The hotel looks beautiful from the road, full of “olde worlde charm” behind beautiful gardens. On arrival, we were surprised and disappointed to find the restaurant deserted. We were instead taken to a table in the bar, wher...
This was our 2nd visit here and I would happily return and heartily recommend. Particularly if your family, like ours, includes a dog. This is as dog friendly as you could ask. The Bar manager had treats behind the bar and was very attentive to Ralph, as was the resident member of staff who lit the fire in the lounge for us! A very traditional style old country house hotel with history and character. Bedrooms modern and totally clean and comfortable. Very welcoming and friendly reception staff. Ralph was only not allowed in the main restaurant but our table was set up in the bar area and we could order off the bar or restaurant menu. Breakfast was excellent. Dinner off the a la carte menu of...
Ate in the restaurant with some friends, the menu looked good…a few options. I chose the scorched mackerel to start…well it came and was probably four mouthfuls of food, there was 3 slithers of mackerel…probably 2 inches long! Next course, lamb, which was tasty…the accompanying vegetables were luke warm and again, not much of them! I did point out the vegetables were not hot, the waiter said he could go and reheat it…thoughts of it coming back microwaved put me off…so I declined this offer. Finished with sticky toffee, which was ok. All in all, I found the mea disappointing… expensive for not much food, which was a real shame.
On arrival we were welcomed pleasantly and professionally,meeting up with our companions we enjoyed drinks on the outside terracemine a perfect Gin&Tonic even though it was October. After exploring the town ,we returned for dinner and were not disapointed we slept well in a clean and comfortable bedroom with en suite bath and shower,leisurely breakfast(i had smoked Haddock and poached egg) perfectly cooked all agreeing we would like to visit this lovely Town and Hotel again.

Lovely oldie type hotel , really impressive gardens .All very clean .Was in standard room 10 main building had a lovely view of the sea a nice bathroom. Went on a bed breakfast deal meal was ok if you like A La Carte breakfast was very nice. Would love to visit again when Spa is open.
Stopped for coffee on the terrace. Tables hadn't been cleared and it was past 11am. Finally found a member of staff to serve us. He was not exactly efficient. No apologies for the state of the table, or wiped. Had problems finding anyone to pay. Absence of staff very obvious
Allowed a booking for lunch, called the night before and confirmed it was a restaurant booking. Then said that we could RPO’s only sit at any of the 100 or so empty restaurant tables and must eat on a low bar table. Awful. Left without eating. Shocking service and attitude
A gorgeous hotel probably needs a little old but as a family meeting at the races in cartmel it was brilliant Many thanks The food in the restaurant was really good and service was spot on Many thanks all

not only was the location brilliant, they are able to offer such good service based on limited, yet amble menu choices. 2 or 3 courses and really filling loved the pork, with hummus and Baganoush to start
Wonderful menu with lovely options. The seabass was especially tasty and the lemon sauce that it was served in was delicious.
