Guests already set to return for the 2011 festive season …

The Borrowdale Hotel was full for Christmas and New Year and there were a lot of people calling in for lunch and afternoon tea in between. Stephen Wilcock General manager also said “we have had a record number of guests rebooking for Christmas and New Year already.”

The Lodore Falls Hotel was also packed for Christmas and celebrating the start of the new year – there were over 180 people celebrating New Years eve and on New Years Day 220 people attended the annual Jazz brunch.

Celebrating New Year in town saw the Skiddaw Hotel packed with locals and the Kings Arms was full of enthusiastic walkers on bed and breakfast breaks.

Kit Graves, Director of the Lake District Hotel Group said “We pride ourselves on fantastic hospitality and that’s why people come back time and time again. Our hotels all enjoy a very loyal following and we are especially pleased to see so many people making repeat bookings for Christmas and New Year 2011.”

Smashing time at gala New Year dinner …

The lifelike gingerbread hotel on display at the Lodore Falls Hotel was smashed to pieces on New Years Day and creator, Shane Hamilton, Senior Sous Chef was delighted. It has become a tradition that on the night of New Years Day, guests at the gala dinner watch the children smash the gingerbread house to pieces. It is just one of the creative artwork pieces on display – sitting along side fantastic butter carvings created by the chefs at the hotel.

General Manager Stephen Johnson said  “The children get so excited and use a rolling pin supplied by the chef to wreak havoc on the gingerbread house. Shane has done a fantastic job this year with sugar plane windows and intricate detail of the hotel there were even fairy lights. It always seems a shame to smash it but every year, Shane comes up with something even better.”

Children have a ball at the Cinderella panto …

What fantastic fun at the Lodore Falls Hotel in Borrowdale on Tuesday afternoon as 170 visitors packed the Garden Rooms for the Christmas panto – Cinderella. With beautiful ballet dresses decking the halls, the scene was quite magical for the children and parents. With cushions scattered on the floor at the front of th4 stage, there were over 80 children screaming and shouting with laughter at Buttons and the ugly sisters.


The interval was timed to perfection, with food and drinks pre-ordered before the performance giving time for the youngsters to refuel before the second half of the show. As the performance came to an end, the children got closer and closer and closer to the actors – totally involved in what was happening and leaving Mums and Grandparents just as spellbound watching their little ones.


“The best panto we’ve seen this year” agreed several local families who had travelled to see others in the area. So much effort from Chaplin’s – the professional troupe who performed for us – a huge thanks to them. One thing is for sure, with almost double attendance on last years first ever panto, we are certainly going to make this an annual event. Roll on next Christmas.

Russia in Lakeland tastes better than the real thing …

Maureen Guyan Lalor and her husband now live at Temple Sowerby, but before that, they have travelled the world and had a real taste of Russia when they visited the Soviet Union many years ago. They went to the Nutcracker Ballet at the Minsk Theatre and fell in love with the ballet. So when they heard about the Nutcracker at the Lodore Falls Hotel – they simply had to pay us a visit for lunch.

They travelled on a very snowy day to enjoy the Nutcracker lunch which Maureen described as wonderful. She went on to comment on the food they tried in Russia – and highlighted that if you were not at your seat for dinner, they served the course and you had to eat it cold when you arrived. Thankfully at the Lodore Falls Hotel we serve our food when our customers are ready – hot, well presented and very delicious.

Sugar Plum Fairy artwork on display at Lodore Falls Hotel …

There is a special piece of art on display at the Lodore Falls Hotel – launched at the Cumbria Life Nutcracker luncheon today (Thursday 2nd December 2010).

Head Chef Mike Ward is renowned for his butter sculpture work and every year he produces a new creation. This year, in keeping with the Nutcracker theme he has created a Sugar Plum Fairy!!

Over 30 hours of loving care and attention have been put in to this piece of art. The delicate ballerina has a pale pink skirt which was created using the edible food glitter. To achieve this look, Mike had to carefully mask the rest of the sculpture to ensure only the skirt and shoes turned pink.

During the Cumbria Life luncheon Mike talked about each dish he created and at the end he gave everyone vodka jellies – hand made in the kitchen that day. During coffee he also showed off his Sugar Plum fairy – and all were amazed to see how delicate she was when he walked away and her wings fluttered as he went by!

The fairy is on display at the hotel and will take pride of place on the New Years Eve gala dinner. This popular event still has a few places left – for more info contact the Lodore Falls Hotel on 017687 77285
