Linthwaite House at
Bowness-on-Windermere has lots to recommend it – stunning views, luxurious
rooms, meticulous service, and eye-wateringly high prices to keep out the riff-raff
(not wholly effective as we save up for a few years so we can rub shoulders
with the well-heeled and loud-voiced) – but what makes it stand out from our other
favoured hotels is the fine dining, exemplified by my six courses tonight: a broccoli
mousse in a filo pastry cone; an amuse-bouche of carrot and ginger foamed soup;
a starter of yellow fin tuna with anchovy and things I’ve never heard of; rump
and neck of lamb with trimmings; custard tart with nutmeg; petit-fours and
coffee.
