At Windermere, our dining experience breaks away from conventional hotels, allowing nature to guide our menu. Our chef curates a culinary journey using the freshest ingredients from our gardens and local markets, catering to dietary restrictions if any. Indulge in a course-by-course dining affair, with our attentive staff sharing insights into each dish's preparation. Feel free to visit our chef in the kitchen to learn local recipes and even share your own. While our dining options are exclusively for guests, we warmly welcome your friends with prior notice.

Embracing a homely atmosphere, we forgo menu cards and buffets, ensuring a truly personalised and intimate dining experience.In adherence to State regulations, alcohol isn't served on our premises, yet guests can enjoy a drink in the comfort of their rooms.

Barn

The Barn serves as our cherished main dining room, an inviting space that exudes alpine charm. With its two levels adorned with wooden flooring, supportive beams, and columns, the room emanates a cosy ambiance. Delicate cross-stitch work and a welcoming fireplace add enchanting details, creating a captivating atmosphere for memorable dining experiences. Every meal is lovingly served within the embrace of The Barn. As the heart of culinary delights, it becomes a gathering place where flavours and conversations intertwine. The balcony and gardens, adorned with natural beauty, become sought-after spots for indulging in breakfast and lunch, allowing guests to savour their meals amidst the serene surroundings.

Step into The Barn, where rustic elegance meets exceptional cuisine, and allow yourself to be immersed in a truly unforgettable dining experience.

Gazebo

In the afternoon, we extend a warm invitation to all our esteemed guests to gather at the charming Gazebo. This delightful space offers a perfect blend of outdoor serenity and camaraderie, providing an ideal setting to connect with fellow guests on the property. As you venture into the Gazebo, you'll be welcomed by the captivating aroma of freshly brewed tea, lovingly served from a traditional samovar. Our kitchen crafts a variety of delightful infusions, elevating the tea experience to new heights. To complement the tea ritual, we proudly serve filter coffee, sourced from our very own estate-grown Arabica coffee beans. Savour the rich flavours of this carefully cultivated coffee, allowing it to awaken your senses and create moments of pure indulgence.

Boulder

The gigantic boulder is pride of the Estate, soaring 70 feet above the grounds. You can climb to the top and enjoy an unfettered view of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Every sunrise and sunset is different from the balcony on the boulder. The overhang of the boulder is equally dramatic, forming a niche with the surrounding trees to create the perfect setting for a barbecue and bonfire. Twice a week, all our guests are invited to the communal bonfire and barbecue as a precursor to the sit-down dinner. It is one of the more magical experiences at Windermere, with the Indian torches lighting up the way, the hiss of the barbecue and the warm, flickering of the bonfire, and enjoyable conversation with other guests and Windermere team.
