How does Ryan get so much flavour into his dishes is a mystery to me. He must be a magician! We had the lunch menu earlier this week and it was fantastic! All of it was amazing from the very first course. Stand outs for me were the last three courses of fish, venison and finally dessert. Atmosphere was cozy, place was full and so had a little buzz about it but the way the tables are laid out and the lighting is done it allows you to also be close to your partner and focus on the food. Staff are all super friendly and meeting Ryan was ace! This is now on our to do list every time we visit the Lakes!

Outstanding in every way đź‘ŹThe food blew us away this evening, everything was exquisite. And the head chef Ryan and his team are wonderful, very relaxed and welcoming. This was our 2nd visit and definitely won't be the last. Our "special occasion" venue of choice. Thank you to all at the Old Stamp House

A fabulous dining experience. Sumptuous, elegant, high quality food brought to you by people who are experts in their field. A really exceptional combination of locally sourced food with well paired international wines. Each course explained with enthusiasm, knowledge and care. Highly recommended, though patience is required for the 6mth wait for a table. Well worth the wait, so just book it and have something very special to look forward to.

Beautiful ambience and service. The tasting menu was very inventive. Not sure if the flavours sang as much as they could have done for the vegetarian menu, but some of the first courses and the puddings were divine.

Wow - what a fabulous lunch...... We found this fine dining restaurant on line last month and are so glad that we booked a table. It was a fantastic treat to end, what turned out to be, a very wet week in The Lake District. We chose the luncheon taster menu and opted for the pairing wine selection which really did enhance the experience matching every course perfectly. All the menu items are locally sourced from farms within a few miles of the restaurant and then Ryan and his team work their magic to create the most imaginative combinations of taste, texture and visual perfection. Each creation arrives on and/or in beautifully stylish crockery, wooden or glass platters - to which real thought and attention has been given. We can highly recommend The Old Stamp House and will certainly book again when we next visit Ambleside.

Great fine dining experience in Ambleside. The menu was very delicious and diversified, plenty of surprises along the way. The desserts were truly spectacular. One fun fact that I have learned is that the next door deli that collects and sells local produce from the village farms provides a few of the ingredients for the Michelin restaurant. Couldn’t recommend it enough, beautiful atmosphere and a great cozy vibe.

We had an fabulous dining experience here. The dinner tasting menu was very well thought-out, cohesive and very tasty. The Old Stamp House Restaurant prides themselves in using locally sourced ingredients and it shows in the menu. As the dinner went on, each course just kept getting better and better. The mushroom course was very inventive and flavourful. The turbot was well cooked and the sauce complimented the fish well. The main lamb course was very delicious, a real standout. The desserts courses were all very well done. Service was very attentive. Overall, I am very happy with the dining experience here and the restaurant definitely deserves the one Michelin star. For less than ÂŁ100, the 10-course tasting menu is an excellent value for money. If you are looking for a fine dining experience, Lake District does offer several options but The Old Stamp House should be among the top of your list.

Thank you Old Stamp House for a lovely, luxurious, dining experience. We were made to feel most welcome from start to finish…by all the staff. The food was exceptional. We opted for the paired wine choice, Craig was very helpful with his explanations relating to each wine….and for us the pairings really seemed to work. It was luxurious but there was no faff or over attentiveness, that’s just how we like it. Thank you to all the team at the Old Stamp House, Sharon & John Jones
