UPDATE JUNE 2024: So since my initial review, I have been back to the Langdale complex and eaten at the Stove again. There is a new GM, who previously worked at the hotel, and has tried to turn things around. The menu has been updated and some of the service problems have been addressed. Unfortunately the food is still a long way away from where it needs to be, especially in comparison to the local competition stale bread, dry pasta and shop bought pizza sauces where some of the ongoining dissapointments. The restaurant seems to be ticking over based on the ‘captive audience’ of guests and hotel punters. Which is fine for the buisness I guess? But not a great user exp. It IS such a shame, th...
While staying in Elterwater, we decided to dine at this restaurant on our first night and our children enjoyed it so much that they wanted to return. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was delightful, and despite being a somewhat upscale restaurant, it was very welcoming to families with kids. The early supper club menu before 7pm offered great value. If you choose to order a la carte, I highly recommend trying the beef shin ragu, it was absolutely heavenly.
We stayed at the langdale hotel so naturally went to the stove a few times during our visit. The breakfast buffet was very good, and set you up nicely for a day of walking. The dinner menu could be a bit larger, but everything we ordered was perfect. The staff were very friendly and service was very efficient. We look forward to coming back in the future.
The experience was average. There were no major complaints, but I found it to be underwhelming. It has the potential to be great, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. I would be interested in returning once Covid restrictions are lifted, as there may be more menu options available at that time.

Drinks selection a let down…. Fantastic food, massively let down by drinks selection. Appreciate support of local Brewery Bowness Bay but their beers not up to standard. Lacking flavour and taste on both varieties. We asked for Estrella which I remember they used to have but now removed. Why?
We had traditional Sunday dinner and it was excellent. Side dishes of red cabbage, new potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots were perfect. It’s hard to beat roast beef or chicken with Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Lovely dining room and attentive service.
The menu actually detailed what the food was. One criticism would be 'understated ' because the food was exceptional, the choice of wines on offer were extensive and the service was exquisite. Our first night at the estate, after arriving late, has been great.
Only went in for breakfast and the service and food was amazing. The staff were very polite and couldn't do enough for you. Will definatly be returning

They have made great effort to provide good food and service despite the challenges of covid and difficulties of recruiting skilled staff.
Fabulous Sunday menu. Food delicious, great prices and really friendly staff. Highly recommend.
